Cricket 1897

J uly 22, 1897. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 305 YORKSHIRE v. LANCASHIRE. h u n t e r ’ s b en efit m atch . Played at Bradford on July 19, 20 and 21. Drawn. In choosing the Lancashire match at Bradford for his benefit, Hunter evidently exercised good judg­ ment, and even the very bad weather of the second day did not prevent a crowd of some ten thousand people from being present. On the flr*t day there were about double that number of spectators, while «»n the third day another large crowd assembled. Yorkshire were fortunate enough to win the toss, and to bat on a nearly perfect wicket. From the beginning of the innings there was a succession of long partnerships, although none of them were long enough to make the opposing eleven call to mind days when they have seen the same two men tatting for hour.-*. But nearly everybody made a good score, until the tail came in, when, except for an innings of 48 by Peel, there was not much to boast of. Of the rest, Mr. Jackson, Brown and Tunnicliffe all male over 30, while Denton and Moorhouse earned talent money by very good cricket indeed. Moorhouse, who mid« the highest score on the side, was severely hurt by the fast bowling when he first went in, but he was not at all discouraged by this. The Yorkshire total was 345, which was not as l*rge as had been expected, for when five wickets were down the sco e was 263. On Tuesday morn­ ing, cricket at Bradford was played under most unpleasant circumstance, for a persistent rain, not heavy enough to stop the gtme, made the bowlers very uncomfortable, while it gave the batsmen an opportunity of which they were not slo v to avail themselves. Mr. MacLaren and Ward found no difficulty in the bowling, and while play lasted made runs pretty quiokly. They took the total to 167 before a wicket fell. Ward was the first to go, for a steady innings of 53, made at about half the rate at which Mr. MacLaren scored. Mr. MacLaren at this time had made 110, and before another man ould come in, rain fell heavily and stopped play for the day. On Wednesday Mr. MacLaren increased his score to 152, which included a 6 and twenty-five 4’s, while Smith and Hallara played very useful innings. Mr. Mac- Laren’s innings was almost without fault. With no prospect of finishing the match, Yorkshire fared vary badly in their second innings, the wicket having gradually become very difficult. Y o r k s h ir e . First innings.

Played at Derby on July 18, 19 and 20. Drawn. It has not often fallen to the lot of the Essex men this season to have their bowling knocked about all over the field, but there is a time for all things, and Derbyshire, winning the toss, had a sweet revenge for their defeat at Leyton. At the close of the first day’s play they had only lost six wickets for 393 runs, on a perfect wicket, and had the satisfaction on the following morning of knowing th it their opponents would have to bat on a pitch affected by heavy rain during the night. It is true that the rain also prevented them from adding very greatly to their score, but thanks to their brilliant start they were able to end up with a total of 428. The chief credit of this score belongs to Mr. Evershed (who made a hundred), Bagshaw and Davidson (who missed his hundred by three), and Walter Sugg (who missed it by sixteen). All these men played very fine cricket, and Sugg and Davidson made a stand which com­ pletely wore out the bowling. On a bowler’s wicket, Essex, of course, did badly. Four wickets were down for 63, and although a stand was made at the end of the day by Mead and Mr. Kortright, only 122 runs had been made for 8 wickets. The position was thus pretty hopeless, but on Wednesday morning there were two partnerships which each produced over fifty runs, which mide the outlook much better. Mr. Kortright played a splendid innings, while Mead and Mr. Bull deserve the greatest praise. In the follow- on everybody made runs, and the result was an honourable draw. D e r b y s h ir e . S. H.
