Cricket 1895

342 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g . 15, 1895. W A R W IC K SH IR E v. HAM P SH IRE . GLOUCESTERSH IRE v. M IDD LESEX. At Birmingham, August 8th, 9th, and 10th. Warwickshire, with a successful result, gave a trial to Ward, a young Birmingham professional, a left- handed slow bowler with a capital break. Hampshire had first stroke, but. excepting A. J. Hill, did not show great battiug form. Ward taking five wickets for 6 1. Warwickshire did no better, though Diver played a good innings, and Walter Quaife stayed in until the end of the day, when Warwickshire were 32 behind, with seven wickets down. Next day Quaife was out without adding to his score, and the innings closed for 148, 3 runs behind. Hampshire made a wretched start against Pallett, five wickets falling for 54, and even then W ard was twice missed. These mistakes altered the condition o f affairs, for Buck­ land and Ward made a capital resistance and scored quickly, 75 runs going on in fifty-five minutes, though the latter had a third life when 36. Buckland and boar next added 55 runs in just under the hour, and then the amateur left, having given one chance when 48. His was an excellent innings played at a critical time* and it was due to him that Warwickshire needed 203 to win. Bainbridge and W . Quaife made an excellent start, but both were out at 45, and at 48 Diver was bowled, the Midland County at that time having nothing the better of the game. On Saturday W . G. Quaite left at 62, but then Lilley and Law obtained command over the bowling, and made an excellent stand which decided the match. The famous wicket-keeper has made larger innings this year, but none more valuable. He was batting two hours and fifty minutes for his 88, and the stand for the fifth wicket realized 126. Law also played steady and good cricket, and his assistance was of the utmost importance, since Lilley might possibly not have found sufficient support had the former failed. The Rev. PI. Pereira came in and made 16 out of 20 which were registered before the game ended in a victory for Warwickshire, after an excellent contest, by five wickets. Score and analysis H am psh ire .

For this match each side had one alteration from full strength, Bateman-Champain appearing for Sewell on the Gloucestershire, and E. H. Bray taking G. McGregor’s place in the Middlesex eleven. The wicket was slow, and the metropolitan county made a bad start, Douglas leaving at 1, and Warner at 2. Stoddart and Lueas improved matters, but, 23 having been added, Lucas was out at 38; Phillips followed. A t this juncture Jessop had bowled 70 balls for 5 runs and 2 wickets. Stoddart hit up 26 out of 40 in fiity minutes, and after he left Webbe and Sir Timothy made the longest stand of the innings*, but O’Brien was caught at 68. W ebbe’s 27 was carefully made, and he was last out. Gloucester beyan badly also, Grace just exceeding his 2,000 runs this season (his fifth year to accomplish this feat, the four earlier occasions being 1871,1873,1876, and 1887), and was then out at 18. Hemingway and Ferris took the score to 34, when rain falling heavily caused an adjournment. Next morning the not outs raised the score to 67 in thirty-three minutes, when Hearne and Rawlin were relieved by Wells and Phillips, and Ferris was dismissed. Wrathall was bowled at 80, but Hemingway hit vigorously until unluckily out from a ball he played on to his leg. He had made 58 out of 60, his highest score for the county, without any chance, in an hour and a half. Townsend left at 100, but Jessop in twenty minutes made 31 out of 36 by very lively hitting. After he left the batting broke down, and Gloucestershire led by 51 runs only on he first innings. Rice was in an hour and a quarter for his 14, Though Douglas was smartly dis­ missed at 9,Warner and Stoddart batted freely, and the deficit had been wiped out when Stoddart left at 54, having given chances when 5 and when 21. Warner Lucas, and Rawlin had all been got rid of at 75. but O’ Brien and W ebbe then batted steadily, and runs came fast until Webbe left at 98. Wells proved a capital partner to O’Brien, and, the pitch being kept easy by slight showers, the pair added 67, and played out time. On Saturday Wells was caught at 191, after an innings of forty-five minutes, in which he scored 45, an invaluable contribution. Phillips was bowled at 217, and after Bray joined O’Brien heavy rain stopped play, and the match was abandoned. The Irish baronet had made 92 in two hours and forty minutes, giving but one chance—when 84—and scoring eleven 4’s in its course. Middlesex thus had none the worse of the draw, thanks to O’Brien and W ells. Score and analysis :— M id d le se x . First Innings. Mr. A.E. Stoddart, c Board, b Townsend ...................26 Mr. J.

The ladies’ day at Canterbury brought a record crowd to the St. Laurence Ground, 12,329 being present to see Kent try conclusions with Yorkshire. The weather for the first time during the week was fair and bright, but the wicket was effected by the rains. Yorkshire were without Peel, a severe loss, and in his place Foster played, and Kent had a very go^d eleven. A very bad start wa3 made by Kent, who in the first half hour lost three wickets to Wainwright for 17. Then Alec Hearne and Mordaunt for the fourth wicket played admirably against some capitalbowling and added 60 runs. Hearne remained until the score was 103, his 48 being a very fine innings; going in first he was seventh out, he had four 4’s. four 3’s. and four 2’s in his score. The later batsmen did little, F. S. Jackson after luncheon sending down 61 balls for 14 runs and 5 wickets. Yorkshire lost Mitchell at 13, but Tunnicliffe and Jackson added 71 by careful and watchful cricket, when the latter left. Brown and Tunnicliffe did well, and each brought his indi­ vidual score for the season to 1,000. but at 164 the tall batsman was run out, and at the close of play York­ shire had three wickets down for 113, but next morning the wicket was treacherous, and three more wickets fell for 29 runs, Brown giving three chances before he was dismissed. Lord Hawke and Moor­ house then stayed together over an hour and added 41 runs, the pace for these batsmen being abnormally slow. Towards the close of the innings Foster hit hard, and made 22 out of 27 for the ninth wicket. Moorhouse was at the wickets two hours and a half. Kent were 89 behind, and made a very bad start in their second innings, Hearne and Easby being out for 9. Mason batted well, but was smartly caught at the wicket at 32. A t 54 Patterson and Mordaunt left, while at 63 Stewart fell a victim to Hunter. Marchant and Kemp nearly averted the innings defeat, but the latter left at 86, and this disaster being saved Marchant was out at 105. W right and Martin in the last half hour played acapitalgame, but on Saturday only 6 runs were addedfor the two outstanding wickets, and Yorkshire needed but 51 to win. Walter W right bowled so well—three w-ickets in 4 overs for 3 runs—that Jackson, Mitchell and Brown were dismissed before the end came. Score and analysis:— K e n t . First Innings. Mr. J. R.
