Cricket 1898

276 (jRlCKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J uly i4, 1898. Y O R K S H IR E v. L A N C A S H IR E . w ainw right ’ s benefit match . P layed at Sheffield on July 11, 12 and 13. Drawn. When a popular Yorkshire professional is favoured with floe weather f ^r his benefit match, he is certain to t-ee a very t ig crowd assemble to do him honour. Wainwright was doubly fortunate in that the weather was all that could be desired, and Yorkshire made such a good score on the first day as to make it practically a foregone conclusion that the match would not ba over in a short time. Wainwright himself was not in form on Monday, and to the great disappointment of the 25,000 spectators was out for only two runs; no doubt the Lancashire team bore his downfall with equanimity. But if Wainwiight failed, other favourite Yorkshiremen did not. Brown played beautiful cricket for his hundred- his first of the season, and Mr. Jackson was at his best in making 38. It is true that a good many of the team only made a few runs, and at one time during the day it looked as if the innings would be over for about 150, for fix wickets w*re down for 134. But at this doleful moment Mr. Milligan arrived on the scene, and by some brilliant hitting put on 115 with Brown in an hour and a-quarter, and later in the afternoon Rhodes made a valuable stand with Brown, who nearly carried his bat through the innings. Lancashire did not have to bat before stumps were drawn. On Tuesday morning there was again a very large crowd. The beginning of the Lancashire innings did not hold out much promise of a large score, for Mr. Hartley, Tyldesley and Baker did very little. Ward, however, kept in for con­ siderably over an hour for 23, and Frank Sugg, aided by a little good fortune, played splendid cricket. But for all that he could do, the total would not have been great if it had not been for Cuttell’s remarkably good batting at the end of the innings. Thanks to the good stand made with him by Briggs, he almost succeeded in reaching his hundred, while the t >tal of the innings was only 28 behind that of Yorkshire. At the close of play on Tuesday Yorkshire were 73 runs on withnine wickets in hand. Yesterday Mr. Jackson and Tunnicliffe played splendid cricket. Mr. Jackson began slowly, but when hs had got his eye in he began rapidly to catch up Tunniclitfe, who, for his part, was scoring at a great rate. It almost seemed that Lord Hawk* would be able to declare while the two batsmen were together, but after 206 runs had been put on for the partnership Tunnicliffe was bowled. It was not lODg. however, tefore Lord Hawke sent Lmcashire in to make 271 in three houis, if they could. From the first it was plain that no attempt was to be made to force the game, and all further interest in the match was taken away. Y orkshire . First innings. Second innings.

DERBYSHIRE v. NOTTS. Played at Derby on July 11, 12 and 13. Drawn. The excellent bowling of Frank Davidson, on a good wicket, was the cause of the small tcore made by the Notts team. Davidson finished off the innings by doing the hat trick. If a few more of the Notts men had been in such g:>od form as Mr. Jones and Gunn, the total would nave been large, but Shrews­ bury was for once unlucky, and the tail did very little indeed. Derbyshire had lost two wickets for €8when stumps were drawn, Mr. Evershed playing a fine innings. Storer did well on Tuesday, and Chatterton male a useful 23. But the stand of the innings was made by Walter Sugg and George Davidson, who each made fifty, and it was chiefly due to their ex­ cellent play that Derbyshire had a lead of 36 on the first innings. In the second innings of Notts Shrews­ bury and c*unn added one more to their list of long partnerships. On this occasion they put on 167, and one could not wish to see finer cricket. The rest of the team did but little. Derbyshire, with three hours before them, had to make 188, so that the finish promised to be very exciting. It wasevident that the batsmen meant to lose no time, and in the first ten minutes 24 iuns were put on. Then Mr. Wright was out. A long partnership followed between Mr. Evershed and Storer, and when the hundred went up without any further loss Derbyshire seemed to have the match m hand. But a startling change occurred in the future of the game, and before another 25 runs hai been put on six wickets were down. The game was now anybody’s, and there was the greatest excitement.

Fresh from their victory over Essex, the visitors, with about their strongest team, gave a very good account of themselves on the first day of this match, despite the fact that W.G. made only 24. Ihe com­ mencement of the innings was quite remarkable, for although in the course of the first hour no wicket had fallen, only 24 run* were on the board, four of which belonged to Mr. Troup, who brought his total to 5 at the end of seventy-five minutes’ play. Ths slow beginning was not without its satisfactory retults, for the rest of the batsmen found run-getting pretty easy. Mr. Townsend, who is nowadays one of the most useful bats in E d gland, played very fine cricket indeed for hi* 139, aud ne was very well backed up by Mr. Sewell, who put on 161 runs in partnership with him. Afterwards Mr. ( hampain looked like making a big score, Mr. Jeesop hit with very great freedom, and Mr. Hemingway aid well. The total when stumps were drawn was 361 for eight wickets. Nobody was prepared for the vigorous display which was given by Mr. Brown and vVrathall oa Tuesday morning. When he had made about 40, Mr. Brown was, without much doubt, caught at the wicket. So satisfied was he that he was out that he walked away, but returned when he fouud that he had escaped. In about an hour and a half Mr. brown brought his score of 12, not out to 106, and Wrathall nearly reached his 50. As a result of this fine stand Warwickshire had to go in against a total of over 500. They began well enough. The two Quaifes and Diver were in great form, but they were not well tacktd up by the rest of the side, and a fo.low on was necessary. W. G. Quaife played a very pretty innings, and was much quicker in making his runs than usual. There was now a very good chance that Warwickshire would play out time, but the batting of everyone, except Walter Quaife, was so disappoiuting that Gloucester­ shire were able to ga n another victory.
