Cricket 1897

J une 24, 1897. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 241 T H E PHILADELPHIANS. THE MIDDLESEX MATCH (FIFTH OF THE TOUR), Played at Lord’s on June 21 and 23. Middlesex won by seven wickets. With the Stars and Stripes at one end of the ground and the Union Jack at the other, not tomen­ tion alarge and enthusiastic crowd, Lord’s looked as gayas all the rest of London on Monday. The wicket was never as difficult as might have been expected after the vast amount of rain with which London was deluged on Saturday night, but the Philadelphian captainmade amistake in losing the toss. Whether the astonishing success achieved by Mr. King at Brighton influenced the first few Middlesex batsmen or not, it is certain they were very uncomfortable with the bowling for some time, and from first to last no one—not evenMr. Ford, whokept in for an hour— succeeded in gaining anything like a command of the bowling, much less a mastery over it. Mr. Hayman played agood innings; Sir T. C. O’Brien was in great form ; Mr. Ford, foronce, was content to play a quiet game, and onlymade three fours in his innings of 40; but there was not much in it until Mr. Webbe joined Sir T. C. O’Brien, with the score at 118 for five. When the partnership was broken it had been raised to 182. Mr. Webbe continued to bat very well in­ deed, and carried his bat for 42. The total of 231was not large for Middlesex. The batting of the Phila­ delphians was, on the whole, disappointing, and wanting in liveliness, but it was a great pity that Mr. Tnayer was run out when he had made 34, for he seemedquite capable of making a hundred; he has some very pretty strokes, and puts power into them, The innings closed just before the time for drawing stumps, and the match was not resumed until Wed­ nesday, owing to Jubilee Day. Mr. Webbe gave the visitors the choice of following on; reasoning that the match might possibly be considered a two-day match, and the Philadelphians went in again. On a true wicket they did exceedinglywell at first, and Mr. A. M. Wood and Mr. Thayer played splendid cricket, but thetail failed. Middlesex had to make 154, and chiefly owing to some astonishing hitting by Mr. Ford, who made his hundred in 65 minutes, won easily. M id d l e s e x . First innings. A. E. Stoddart, b Baily H. B.

On abowler’s wicket Pallett and Forester proved very difficult, and Leicestershire, after playing very slowcricket, were out for 128. Raininterrupted play, and when stumps were drawn Warwickshire had only had time to make 16 without losing awicket. During the four hours of play only 144 runs were scored. On Tuesday, Warwickshire made a lot of runs, Diver and Byrne each scored a hundred, and when play endedLeicestershire seemed in for another severebeating. Thanks to a fine innings of 102by Mr. Wood, and good batting by Coe. Tomlin, and Mr. de Trafford, theymade a good fight, but could not avert defeat. L e ic e st e r sh i First innings. C. J. B.
