Cricket 1897

320 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J uly 29, 1897. SURREY v. DERBYSHIRE. Played at Derby on July 26, 27 and 28. Surrey won by ten wickets. As usual this year, Derbyshire won the toss, but on a wicket which was not easy, were unable to make much of the Surrey bowling. Indeed, if it had not been for a very fine innings of 62by Mr. Evershed. and a score of 20 by Storer, the bowlers would have had remarkable analyses. The first five wickets fell for 112 run 8 , but when Richardson changed ends, there was a considerable collapse. Surrey on the first day were not seen to any great advantage. Abel again made a small score, and although Brockwell, Hayward. Baldwin, Mr. Chinnery and Mr. Leveson- Gower all scoied double figures, the play was a little disappointing, and when stumps were drawn five wickets had fallen for 100. A very different state of things were obtained on the following morning, for Holland, who was not out 5, was joined by Mr. Key, and the Derbyshire bowlers had a lively time of it. Runs came pretty quickly until lunch time, when the batsmen were still together, with the score at 280. and it was not until it had been raised to 307 that a separation was brought about by the dismissal of Holland for seven runs less than a hundred—a very good innings indeed, including seventeen 4’s. Mr. Key continued to make runs, meeting with a useful partner in Lees, and finally carried his bat for 130, an innings played in his best style. He was batting for a little less than three hours, and made sixteen 4’s. The innings closed for the formid­ able total of 377, but by the end of the day Derby­ shire had knocked otf 132 of the arrears for the loss of two wickets, Mr. Evershed and Mr. Wright both playing particularly well. A long stand by Bagshaw and Davidson on Wednesday gave hopes of a long score, but after the partnership was broken the end of the innings was very near. Derbyshire, of course, missed Chatterton very greatly. D e r b y s h ir e First innings. L. G. Wright, c Haywatd, b L ees...............................13 S. H.

C om bes (Philadelphia).—Your side lost the match, for the hit made by the batsman off the “ no­ ball ” counts as four only. A run is not added to this for the “ no-ball.” You say that in this case the bowler is not penalized; but you forget that the bats­ man runs no risk when he slogs at a “ no-ball.” GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. LANCASHIRE. Played at Aigburth on July 26, 27 and 28. Lancashire won by ten wickets. Gloucestershire in this match had much the worst of the luck, Lancashire won the toss, and batted on a slow, but not difficult, wicket, which was occasionally made easier by rain, and after frequent interruptions, 153 runs were put on before the day’s play ended. Mr. MacLaren played another excellent innings, and Ward was not out 50, while Frank Sugg knocked up 21 in a very short time. When play was resumed on Tuesday the bowlers had a chance, and Lancashire did not make quite as many runs as had been expected, although Ward increased his total to 87 by very fine cricket, while Briggs, Smith and Hallam made useful scores. Gloucestershire began very well indeed, after opening very slowly with Dr. Grace and Mr. Rice, but after 95 had been put up for the first wicket, there was a serious collapse, and the innings quickly came to an end for 138, when play ended for the day. The position of the visitors was not hopeful when play was continued on Wednesday, for they were 174 runs behind, and might reasonably suppose that the wicket would not be improved. The Doctor and Mr. Townsend played well, and Mr. Jessop made 49 out of 59 in twenty-five minutes, but the rest did not do much. L a n c a s h ir e .

Played at Maidstone on July 26, 27 and 28. Kent won by an innings and nine runs. The rain had a great deal of influence on this match, and put the Philadelphians out of the run­ ning. On an easy wicket Kent made a lot of runs, the bowling of the visitors being mastered several times. The match had an unfortunate beginning, for before a run had been scored a fast ball from Mr. Cregar broke a bone in Mr. Tonge’s left hand, so that the batsman was unable to take any further part in the game. On the invitation of the Philadelphian captain a substitute was allowed to play in Mr. Tonge’s place—to bat as well as to field. Mr. Mason was in great form for Kent and only missed his hun­ dred by eight runs, while Mr. Weigall carried his bat for 138. Good innings were also played by Easby and Mr. Marchant. By the time that the Philadelphians had to bat the bowlers were able to get assistance from the ground, but after Mr. Wood and Mr. King were disposed of for only a few runs a splendid stand was made by Mr. Lester and Mr. Bohlen, and the hundred was passed without further loss. Before the day’s play ended, however, six wickets had fallen for 157, so that the lookout for the visitors was very unpropitious. The tail only added 11 runs. In the follow-on the visitors made a most plucky attempt to save the game, nearly everyone making runs. Mr. Lester and Mr. Baily played particularly well. But the Kent lead was so great that although the Philadelphians made nearly 300, they could not save the innings defeat. It was decidedly unfor­ tunate for them that Mr. Patterson was unable to play owing to his injured finger. K e n t . J. R. Mason, b Lester 92 Hon. J. R. Tufton, c P. Clark, b King . 25 F.
