Cricket 1897

188 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 3, 1897. play a forcing game if hewas allowed a fewminutes’ batting. He hit boldly and well,treating Richardson as if he were a slowbowler, and, among other hits, driving Hayward with tremendous force into the pavilion. In a very short time he put on 26, and was loudly applauded when he returned to the pavilion. Dr. Grace came next, and played in his very best style; some of his cuts, which he makesin a way all his own, were perfect. By this time there was very little doubt as to the result, and. although Hale was tinely causrht at slip with onehand byAbel, the runs were soon hit off. On the face of it, a vic­ tory byfivewickets seems an amplemargin,but there were one or two chances which if taken might have made a very considerable difference. SlIRRKY. First innings.

The teams which have represented the M.C.C. in recent matches have not included many first-class amateurs, but they have been found quite strong enough. In the Leicestershire match, however, the weather came to the assistance of the county, which had experienced three severe reverses in its matches this season. It meant a great deal to win the toss, for the wicket at Lord’s was in good condition on Mondav until late in the day, despite the rain which had fallen. Leicestershire did well to make a total of 251. To this the chief contributors wereMr. Mar­ riott, the Cambridge Blue, who played finely for 47; Mr. C. J. Wood, who hit remarkably well for 70, and Coe, who played a very correct innings for 64. The rest of the team did but little. When the M.C.C. went in theyfoundWoodcock in great form, and with afew exceptions they curled up. Mr. G. Kemp, the old Cambridge Blue and Lancashire cricketer, reap­ pearedin first-class cricket and played excellently for 32, and Mr. H. R. E. Harrison and the Hon. J. Tuf- ton also did well, but the total of the innings was only 118, necessitating a follow on. Russell played a wonderfully good second innings for 66 , and found very useful partners in Mead and Roche, with the result that the innings defeat was saved. Leicester­ shire had all their work cut out to win. L e ic e s t e s h ir e . First innings. C. E. deTrafford, b Mead... 1 Knight, b Mead .............. 17 H. H.

Upper Tooting 157, Incogniti 148, instead of Incogniti 148, Upper Tooting 132 for eight wickets. The scores of the match were printed as received by Cricket HAMPSHIRE v. YORKSHIRE. Hayed at Bradford on May 31, June 1 and 2. Yorkshire won by 10 wickets. Still unable to get together their strongest team Hampshire had themisfortune tolosethe tossagainst Yorkshire, and, after fielding all day, to bat on a bowler’swicket. Once more Mr. Jackson was seen at his best. This time hemade 57 in an hour and a quarter. His partnershipwith Tunnicliffeproduced 70 runs in an hour for the first wicket. After Mr. Jackson’s dismissal nothing very remarkable was done by theYorkshiremen. The sting had been, to a great extent, taken out of the bowling, and run- getting was not a matter of extreme difficulty. Denton was in for about two hours and a half and made the highest scoreof the side, 90,andMoorhouse and Wainwright played well. The tail collapsed very quickly. The total of 279, on a wicket which somewhat aided the bowlers, was formidable, but Hampshire began fairly well by making 30 for the loss of a wicket before stumps were drawn, Mr. Robson being not out for a well-played 24. But very heavy rain fell during the night, and when play began at about half-past three the end of the innings soon came. Barton alone made a long stay; he carried his bat for 27, having gone in first wicket down. In the follow-on four wickets had fallen for 41 when stumps were drawn. Hampshire made a plucky effort to save thegame in the secondinnings, and Mr. Steelehit in themostbrilliantmanner, while Mr. Bennett and Mr. Heseltine played well. Y o r k s h ir e .

The reappearance of Mr. Mordaunt and Mr. Wei­ gall in the Kent team considerably strengthened it. Both amateurs made a good score, Mr. Mordaunt’s 38 being perhaps the best of many good innings played by the Kent men on Monday. Although therehad beenheavyrainat Nottinghamaselsewhere
