Cricket 1898

244 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 30, 1898. DERBYSHIRE v. LEICESTERSHIRE. Played at Derby on June 27, 28 and 29. Derbyshire won by an innings and 31 runs. Which of these two unfortunate counties would benefit the more by the unsettled weather was a question which was of considerable interest. Either of them would have been very grateful for a victory, and the winning of the toss w«s a matter of very great moment to both of them. This advantage fell to the lot of Derbyshire, who, in a short day’s cricket, put up 161 for the loss of five wickets—not at all an unsatisfactory total with the wicket in a state in which it was capable of turning to anything and everything which was bad. The three m°n who made runs—Mr. Evershed, Storer, and Bagshaw—all played with considerable freedom. Mr. E vershed, in particu- lar, batted very finely. On Tuesday morning, Walter Sugg made an invaluable score of 42, but the rest of the team collapsed very quickly. Leicestershire had a very trying time while they were at the wickets. Run getting had become a matter of such extreme difficulty that the follow-on could not be saved. But in their second innings they made a good start, thanks to Mr. de Trafford, but there was afterwards a collapse, the two Davidsons being irresistible with the ball. D e r b y s h ir e . L. G.

In striking contrast to some of the recent openings of their innings, Kent lost two wickets for only six runs—the two unlucky batsmen being Mr. Mason and Alec Hearne. Happily for the county, Mr. Patterson and Mr. Rashleigh are not to be influenced by bad beginnings, and before they were parted they had brought the score to 107 in two hours and a-half. No less than 74 of these belonged to Mr. Rashleigh, who has seldom been seen to greater advantage on a diffi­ cult wicket; indeed, it is seldom that anyone has played letter cricket under similar conditions. Although Mr. Patterson only scored 19, his innings was of the utmost value to his side. The rest of the team did next to nothing with the bowling of Atte­ well. Notts, at the close of play on Monday, had made 35 for the loss of Shrewsbury (Mr. Jones not out 20). Mr. Jones increased his total to 60 on the next morning, and might have made a hundred if he had not followed the example set him by Shrewsbury in recent matches and been run out. He had played a very fine game. The Kent bowlers were too pood for the rest of the team, except Gunn. With a balance of seven runs against them, Kent began fairly well. They again lost Mr. Mason for only one run, but Alec Hearne was in great form. He wa«, however, not well backed up by any one except Mr. Weigall and Mr. Marchant. Notts had to make 221 with four hours and a balf before them, and as Shrewsbury and Mr. Jones were both in great form, such a splendid beginning was made that the task was accomplished easily.

It was not until after luncheon that it was possible to begin tlie match on Monday. The wicket was then pretty easy, and Lancashire made the most of their opportunity. Mr. Hartley did very little, but Ward and Tyldesley made a stand which lasted for two hours and ten minutes, during which 145 runs were put on. Of these, Tyldesley, who scored much the faster, claimed no less than 96 by excellent cricket. At the close of the day, only three wickets were down for 202. This was s splendid beginning, more especially as there was every chance that run- getting on the neat day would be exceedingly difficult. It turned out to be even more difficult than had been expected, so much so, that the remaining wickets only added 26 runs to the total. This, as far as it went, was very satisfactory for Middlesex; on the other band, it pointed to a very severe struggle to save the follow-on. Thanks, however, to very good ciicket by Mr. Warner, Mr. Stoddart, and Mr. Ford, and some determined batting by the tail, the follow-on was easily saved, although the lead of 81 obtained in the first innings by Lancashire promised to be a very great stumbling block in the way of their opponents. No big scores were made in the second innings, but there were few failures, and when stumps were drawn, the lead of 81 had been raised to 214, with one wicket still in hand. The last wicket added 10 runs. For a time Middlesex seemed very likely to pull off the match, for Mr. Hayman and Mr. Warner, by very good cricket, put on 61 before they were parted, but the next four wickets fell for an addition of 62 runs There was still a chance for Middlesex. Mr. Ford batted care­ fully for 35, and Mr. Webbe and Mr. Foley looked like staying in long enough to secure a victory, but there was a collapse at the end of the innings. Hearne bowled remarkably well for Middlesex in both innings. L a n c a s h ir e . First innings. C. R.
