216 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. June 23, 1398. DERBYSHIRE v. WARWICKSHIRE. Played at Edgbaston on June 16, 17 and 18. Drawn. "Warwickshire showed to very great advantage ia this match. Their bowling was distinct y better than that of their opponents, while their batting was all that could le wished by their most enthusiastic friends But by a gooI second intiiogs, Derbyshire managed to p'ace themselves on a f>iriy satisfactory footing. Tin chief feitures of the match ware ihe innings of Quaife, St >rer and Liltey, and the batting of the Warwickshire tail, which was altogether out ;of the common. The innings of 485 might have been prolonged to an indefinite extent if tne Warwickshire captain had not declared. D erbyshire . Fir^tinning*. Second innings. 8. H.

YORKSHIRE v. MIDDLESEX. Played at Lord’s on. June 16, 17 and 18. Yorkshire won by an innings and nine runs. In weather which was a delightful contrast to that which had previously been experienced in matches at Lord’s, ihe all-conquering Yorkshire team gained such an advantage ou the first day’s play, that no one was surprised when Middlesex failed to save the innings defeat. There was never any question as to the great superiority of the visitors. Middlesex, who still had to appear without Trott, -were outplayed at every point of the game. When play ended on Fridty evening there was just a chance that Middle­ sex might manage to make a draw, for, thanks to wonderfully good cricket by Mr. Warner and Mr. Ford, they were within 145 inns of the Yorkshire total and had eight wickets still in hand, and if the end of the innings had been like the beginning, York­ shire might have been hard pushed to gaia a victory in time. Thursday’s cricket was remarkable. After a moderately good start, Mr. Jackson and Wain­ wright obtained such a complete mastery over the we*k bowling, that if they had played out time nobody would have been very greatly surprised. The partnership produced 149 runs. Mr. Jackson was out first after having, by the most attractive cricket imaginable, put on 133 runs in about three hours. There were now three wickets down for 250, but such a sudden change came over the game that eight wickets were down for an addition of 41 runs, so that at this period of the match Middlesex had no reason to be dissatisfied with their doings. Then came another of those loDg stands for which the YorksLire team has for so long been famous. Mr. Milligan and Rhodes once more made the bowl­ ing look as simple as possible, and put on 97 while they were together. As usual, Mr. Milligan made some beautiful hits, and Rhodes was not long in scor­ ing Lis runs. When stumps were drawn Mr. Milligan had been disposed of for a fine 65. and Lord Hawke had followed him. Rhodes was still not out with 51 to his credit and nine wickeits were down for 393—a very different state of aff iirs from eight wickets for 250. Even now the innings was by no means over, for another long stand was made by Hunter and Rhodes. The batting of Middlesex in the flrst inniogs was very disappointing. Mr Ford made 35 in his tiest form, but from the wayin which most of the rest of the team shaped, the game might have been1 p’ayed on the mvst treacherous of-wickets. In the foll«.w-on very different cricket was seen, although again in this innings most of the team were in difficulties. A steady beginning by Mr. Hayman and Mr. Warner produced 62 runs. Mr. Stoddart was much applauded as he walked to the wickets, but he s.emed very uncomfortable, and was ap­ parently beaten by the quickness with which the ball rose from the pitch. He made one or two hits quite worthy of himself, but never looked like making a long stay. He was out to a remarkable catch by Tunnic iffeatslip. Mr. Ford now joined Mr. Warner, who had been playing very good cricket indeed, and for the only time during the match the Middlesex batsmen took the upper hand. For once, the York­ shire bowling was collared. Mr. Ford’s innings was perfect; his hits were all hard, all aloDg the fl k>r, and very seldom straight to a fieldsman. Mr. Warner never missed an opportunity of scoring, and the score mounted so rapidly that at the end of the day. with the partnership still unbroken, the total was 182 for only two wickets. Ford was not out 66, and Mr. Warner not out 65-the latter had made nearly 60 when the partnership began. A great deal d?- p?nded on whether Mr. Ford and Mr. Warner could keep together for any length of time when the game was resumed on Saturday. Unfortunately for Mi idlesex, the latter was bowled by Haigh before he had got set; he had made a splendid attempt to save the game. While he was in with Mr. Foid 107 runs had been put on in a little over an hour. Rawlin was the next batsman. With characteristic coo’ness lie kept quiet while Mr. Ford made runs, but after he had been in a long time for five he unwarily hit a ball into the long field and was caught. Tnis was about the end, for Mr. Ford was soon afterwards bowled for a splendid innings of 127, made in an hour and fifty minutes, and the rest of the team were not able to do very much. Despite the hardhitting by Mr. Foid the analysis of Mr. Jackson was txce’lent. Y orkshire . Tunnicliffe,c Bromley- Davenport,b Rawlin 4 J. T. Brown, b Webb 27 F. S.

In this match hist >ryrepeated itself, and oncemoie Ounn and Shrewsbury detied the Sussex bowlers for hours. Bef re they came t >ge her a l>ng stand for the first wicket, producing 1*6 runs, had about taken all the “ go” out of the bowling. Shrewsbury begau his inniDgs in the slowest raancer, being at the wickets for half an hour without scoring, but when he onci began to s <ttle ddwn he played perfect cricket, which was wholly deligntful to watch, even though his inning-*of 126 lastel for four hours and a half. Like a good many other mdn, hefell it last a vic­ tim to a very fine piece of fielding by Mr. Brann, who threw him out from cover-point. Gunn, who has been ill, was not in his best form when he began his innings, but by the time that he' had finished it he looked as if he could go on for ever. At the close of the first day Notts had lost thfee wicke's for 293. Except for a stand by Mr. Dixon and Dench on Friday morning there was nothing noticeable about the remainder of the Notts innings, which ended much sooner than had seemed likely when the game was resumed. Sus ex, after losing Marlow for only five runs, showed up splendidly, for Mr. Brann and Mr. Murdoch played brilliant cricket. They came together with the total at 19, an1! put on 176 runs during their paitnership. They b6g*n slowly enough, but soon settled down. Mr. Brann’s very fine innings of 105 was made in about three hours. After he was out there was a sudden breakdown in the batting against the bowling of Mr. Jones, and when stumps were drawn no less than three more wickets had fallen for an addition of 25 runs, all to the bowuog of Mr. Jones. 'Ihus Sussex had for the moment much the worst of the game. On Saturday, however, Mr. Murdoch, who was not out 74, con’inued to play ex-, cellent cricket, and, as the tail did moderately well, the total came within measma! le distance of that of Notts. Mr. Murdoch carried his bat for 121. The second innings of Notts was remarkable for Some brilliant hittiog by Guttridge, who dfteqi h»s had the pleasure of making luris ag^i »st his old county. Notts declareJ, and 8u8.es, with no possible chance of winning, played out time. 1 N otts . . • . First innings. Second ihnings.
