Cricket 1898

Sept. 1, 1898 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD O* THE OAME 389 THE SCARBOROUGH FESTIVAL. GENTLEMEN v. PLAYERS. Played at Scarborough on August 29, 30 & 31. Gentlemen won by eight wickets. Although the teams in this match were anything but representative, the sides were quite strong enough to provide very attractive cricket. Unfortunately, heavy rain fell on Sunday, and on Monday cricket was carried on under difficulties. During the three hours’ play, no very remarkable batting was seen, but Mr. Jackson was in great form with the ball. It was very difficult to make runs, and in the course of the day only three men made ovei 20, viz., Tunnicliffe, Ward and Mr. Palairet, the latter being 31, not out, at close of play. On Tuesday the game was con­ tinued on a sticky wicket, which gave Mr. Palairet an opportunity of shewing his mastery over bowling under adverse con­ ditions. His innings of 54 was made by much slower cricket than is usually associated with him ; he was batting for nearly two hours. Mr. A‘. 0. Jones played well for 31, but it looked as if the innings was coming to a premature conclusion until Captain Wynyard and Captain Charles got together for the last wicket and speedily made a lot of runs. Captain Wynyard played so well that his loss to the Hampshire team for so long can easily be estimated. The Gentlemen had a lead of 82, which on such a wicket was very considerable. The Players began badly in £their second innings, but pulled up con­ siderably later, Baker playing very fine cricket. But the Gentlemen had an easy task, and as Mr. Jackson and Capt. Wynyard were in great form the runs were soon n o k;d off. First innings. B r »w»i, b Jackson ... 'J umiicliffe, b Jackson Ty.dealey, b Jacksoa v\ ard b Jackson ... Gunn ( W .), run out PLATEB8.

It was only last week that Kent received a decisive beating from Middlesex, and in the return match they began very badly by losing the toss, and thus giving their opponents the best of a wicket which seemed likely to become very difficult on account of the rain. It was only possible to play for a little less than four hours, and during most of that time Middlesex were at the wickets, not scoring very rapidly, but as rapidly as could be ex­ pected under the circumstances. Tho chief feature of the innings was the stubborn defence oi Mr. Hayman, who, with the exception of Mr. R. N, Douglas, was the only man on the side who could get any control over the bowling. The best play seen during the day w£s during the partnersnip of Mr. Hayman and Mr. Douglas; it produced 59 runs in fifty-five minutes. Mr. Cobb played another of his very steady innings, and although he only made five runs, he helped his side c >nsiderably. Mr. Hayman carried i is bat through the innings for an excellent 104, which was made in three hours and twenty minutes. Kent lost Mr. Mason vtry quickly, but before any further disaster could arrive, the rain came down, and the game had to be abandoned lor the day. Kent only managed to save the fullow-on by a very few runs on Tuesday morning. Only three batsmen made double figures—Mr. ltashleigh, Alec Hearne, and Mr. Patterson, who were, indeed, the three most likely men to do so. In their second innings, Middlesex made a shockingly bad start, los ng Mr. J. Douglas, Mr. ilaynun, Mr. Ford and Mr. R. N. Douglas very quickly indeed, but the tail played up fairly well, and the innings ended lor the oame total as that made by Kent, so lhat the latter had to beat the score of Middle­ sex in the lirst innings by one run, not at all an easy task. Mr. Mason played a great game, but he was not we 1 b uked up, and for the second time within a week Kent was badly beaten by Middlesex. M iddlesex F irst innings. J .

A very short first day’s cricket was remark­ able for the splendid batting by Mr. Fry, who on a difficult wicket played the Essex bowlers with great confidence. He seemed well within reach of his hundred when he was brilliantly caught atsquare-leg. Mr. Brann reappeared in the Sussex team after a long absence from illness, and made a useful 15. No one else did anything except Mr. C. L. A. Smith, who played careful cricket, and when rain inter­ rupted play, was not out 23. Four wickets were then down for 138, a fairly satisfactory beginning. Unfortunately Mr. Smith only increased his score by one, and as the tail, with the exception of Butt, collapsed, tho total was not greatly improved. Essex began very well indeed, Mr. Owen and Mr. Perrin playing excellent cricket. After this, everal of the team made useful scores, and Russell considerably helped Mr. Perrin, <Vho continued to play very safe cricket. But, despite their efforts, the total only exceeded that of Sussex by 7. This did not look very much on paper, but for about that total three Sussex batsmen, in a shockingly bad light, fell to the bowling of Mr. Kortright, and at the end of the day Sussex were left in a very unsatisfactory position. Mr, Fry batted well on Wednesday, but Mr Kortright was in such splendid form that Essex had to make less than a hundred to win. They did not start very well, but there was never much doubt that they would make the runs. S u s s e x . C. B. F ry, c Turner, b Reeves 71 G.
