148 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a y , 21 , 18 96. DERBYSHIRE v. SURREY. At Derby, May 14, 15 and 16. Surrey won by an innings and 15 runs. In their first out match of this season Surrey lost the toss and had to field out all day without getting all the Derbyshire men out. For once Richardson was quite mastered. Nearly every m in opposed to him appeared to find him easy, which in itself speaks volumes for the excellence of the wicket. In the absence of Lohmann there is at present no Surrey bowler who can be relied on to keep up his end when by any chance Richardson happens to fail, but this is, fortunately, so very seldom that it is of not such serious moment as it might be. The most successful bowler in the first innings of Derbyshire was Hay­ ward, who,considering that the total was 349,may con­ gratulate himself on sending down 21 overs for only 28 runs and 4 wickets, It is, perhaps, a little surprising that his services were not utilized more largely. The b ^ginning of the Derbyshire innings was remarkable for a long stand by Mr. W right and Bagshawe, and though Chattertonafterwardsfailed to domuch,David­ son playedoneof his best innings. But the chief honour belongs to Mr. W right, who, afterplayinghimselfin,hit finely at times, until when his hundred was almost within his reach he was bowled. A t the end of the day Porter and Mr. Marsden made hay of the Surrey bowling, both being not out when stumps were drawn. On the second day the innings ended abruptly. W ith such a good total as 349 to look back upon, the Derbyshire men had some hope of making Surrey fight hard, and even of beating them. Success attended their efforts at first, for Abel. Mr. W . W . Read, and Holland were all out when the total was 43. If Street, who was remarkably fortunate in making his 27, had not been missed two or three times, the innings might have terminated quickly. But when he went Hayward had become thoroughly well set, and as Brockwell was able to break the spell of bad luck which had been over him for so long, the score mounted quickly. Biockwell was seen at his best for 72. After him followed Lockwood, who also played one of his fine innings, which have been too scarce of late. Meanwhile Hayward kept steadily on, until at the close of the day he was not out 193. On Saturday he soon reached two hundred, and finally carried his bat for 229. Richardson and W ood made matters very lively for Derbyshire at the end of the innings. Total 512—giving Surrey a lead of 163. There was little chance of finishing the match if Derbyshire did at all well in their second innings, but except that Chatterton and Davidson made a fine effort to save the game, the men were unable to do themselves justice, with the result that they were beaten by an innings and 15 runs.

The team which represented Sussex at Manchester contained no new bowler, and was the same as had been beaten by the M.C.C. at Lord’s, except that Mr. Kentfield (who has besn tried once or twice with varying success) replace I Mr. Fry. On a good wicket Sussex went in and lost Bean immediately. After this misfortune things went well with them for a long time. Marlow w is in great form, and with K. S. Ranjitsinhji thoroughly at home with Mold the score mounted in the most satisfactory manner. Ranjit­ sinhji scored much the faster of .the two, and after an hour and a quarter’s brilliant play he was out for 64. An hour after this Mr. Murdoch, who followed the Prince, was ctill in with Marlow, and the total was nearing 200 with only two wickets down. Nothing could have looked brighter than the prospects of Sussex, for there were yet Mr. Newham and Mr. Brann to come, while once or twice in the more recent history of the county the tail has distinguished itself. But Mold has many times proved as irresistible with the ball to Sussex as have Gunn and Shrewsbury with the bat, and once more he asserted his superiority over the batsmen. Instead of the 400, or thereabouts, which might have been looked for, the total was only 267 ; not that this was ignominious, but merely disap­ pointing. Mold took 7 wickets for 94, and but for two mistakes in the field by Sugg, who is generally so certain, his analysis might have been startling. After a good stand by Ward and Paul, Sugg proceeded to make amends for his mistakes, and long before he had finished his innings he had amply atoned for them. When stumps were drawn he was not out 51; he in­ creased this on Friday to 110, an innings which was remarkable for all the vigour for which he has made himself famous. The re»t of the team, except Baker, who played very fine cricket for 81, did not greatly weary the Sussex bowlers, but nevertheless the total was 347. Parris had a good analysis. The second innings of Sussex, except that Mr. Newham took the place of Mr. Murdoch, was almost a reduplication of the first, on a scale reduced by about one half. As in the first innings, the tail collapsed, but fell victims to I’Anson instead of Mold. Total 141. This left Lan­ cashire to make 62 to win. Of these half were made in half an hour before stumps were drawn, and the remainder were speedily knocked off on Saturday. S ussex . First innings.

This was a match of surprises, and, contrary to ex­ pectation, of much interest. So poorly had Leicester­ shire done in their match against Surrey, that their chances of beating even the team which represented the M.C.C. appeared to be very remote. But they were within a very little of doing it. It was a bowlers’ match, for although the wicket was hard, it had flaws in it which made it extremely difficult to get runs by any but aggressive methods. Leicestershire had a slight advantage in batting first, and though their total of 116 seemed very small, it proved to be much greater than that made by the M.C.C. Woodcock seemed quite irresistible until Mr. W . J. Ford came in and showed that by a resolute man with a good eye and plenty of power it is possible to drive and to continue to drive a fast bowler to the boundary at a terrific rate. Some of his hits were astonishing. In both innings of M.C.C. Mr. de Trafford made runs with very great rapidity, and his hits were delightful to watch. The crowd would have liked him and Mr. Ford to stay in for about a couple of hours. M.C.C. had to make 118 in their second innings, and it was even betting that they would not accomplish their task. But Harry, who was playing in his first match in England, made 26 in a style which showed that his skill has not been underrated by report, and Mr. Ford again played a wonderful innings. When his score was 33 he hurt his arm in making a big drive to the pavilion and had to retire, but thanks to him M.C.C. just won. L eicestershire . First innings. C. E. de Trafford, b J. T.
