182 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 3 , 189?. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY v. YORK- SHIRE. REMARKABLE COLLAPSE IN THE YORKSHIRE FIRST INNINGS. Played at Cambridge on May 27, 28, and 29. Cambridge won by four wickets. From beginning toend this match was full of inci­ dent. The wicket was greatly affected by rain, and the bowlers, except for a brief period while Mr. Jaokson and Tunnicliffe were together in the first innings of Yorkshire, were always masters of the situation. There was nothing at first to showhow things were going. Mr. Jackson and Tunnicliffe put on 54for the first wicket, and everythingpointed to a moderately large score. Then came a startling change. Mr. Jessop, who had just gone on to bowl for the first time, suddenly became irresistible, and down came the wickets. One after another of the Yorkshiremen failed to play him, andencouraged by the success of his companion in the team, Mr. De Zoete bowled better than before, and also met with success. From 54 for onewicRet the total had only mounted to 73 when seven wickets had fallen, and finally the sidewas out for 100. Mr. Jackson kept in all through the innings, but just failed to carry his bat. His 61 was worthy of him. It wassoonseen that even 100 runs would take a lot of getting, and when at the closeof the day Cambridge were a run on, and had still three wickets to fall, it was felt that they had done well. The only innings of importance was that of the captain—31. Rain greatly interfered with play on the second day. Cambridge increased their lead to 38, and in the little time available for play had got rid of three Yorkshiremen for 51, of which Brown made a good 30. At this stage of the game Yorkshire were not at agreatdisadvantage, for with sevenwickets to fall they were 13 runs on, and every run was likely to be of much value. On Satur­ day, except that Wainwright made 27, theYorkshire batting was remarkable for nothing but the splendid cricket of Mr. Jackson, who, for the secondtime in the match, made over 50. Yorkshire ended with a lead of 124, and it was anybody’s game. Cambridge began badly, but gradually improved. Nearly every­ body made afew runs, andMr. Moon played a very useful innings of 27. But four wickets fell for 64, and still it was anybody’s game. Good batting by Mr. Stogdon, Mr. Bray, and Mr. Wilson brought the total up to 99for five wickets. Thus 26 runs were still required, with only four wickets to fall. On paper this positionwas not veiy serious, but three of themen to go in were Shine, De Zoete, and Fernie, cannot be depended on for runs, although they may get them on occasion. But the result was not long in doubt, for when Mr. Jessop joined Mr. Wilson for the seventh wicket, he proceeded to make 25 runs off five overs, and with a couple by Mr. Wilson, thematch was won.

The bad weather did not play an important part in this match, and on the whole the wicket was in favour of the batsmen. Pretty nearly everybody made doublefigures, but therewere only two innings over 50. One was by Nichols, who made 54 for Somerset in the second innings and 35 in the first, and the other by Mr. A. Eccles, who, for Oxford, scored 67 and not out, 11. By his continued good cricket, Mr. Eccles has shewn himself the most pro­ mising player of theyear at Oxford, although several of themen have done well enough to please anybody. One isglad to see that Mr. S. M. J. Woods can still make runs. The only bowling performancesofpar­ ticular merit were fivewicketsfor 70by Mr. Cunliffe, andfivefor45byMr. E. C.Wright, forOxford,andfour for 71 by Nichols for Somerset. On the whole the Oxford team outplayed Somerset, who were without Mr. L. C. H. Palairet. The county gave a trial to three Oxford men, Messrs. Porch, Hook and Port­ man, but they did not distinguish themselves. S om erset . First innings. R. C. N.

Lancashire won by an innings and 101 runs The fates were decidedly against Leicestershire in thismatch and they had no chance of making a good fight. The wicket was not particularly good when Lancashire were batting, but it was ruined by rain whentheturn ofLeicestershirecame. The resultmay be summed up in three words—Mold and Briggs. Several men batted well for Lancashire, including Ward, Paul and Tyldesley, but the most interesting innings was that of Mr. A. N. Hornby, who once more showed that he is aaything but played out. Brown and Mr. Ward did best for Leicestershire with thebat, but with Mold and Briggs on a wicket which was made for them, batting had but a poor chance. Woodcock and Smith bowled well for Leicestershire. L an cash ire .
