Cricket 1899

134 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME M a y 18, 1899 GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. KENT. Played at Blackheath on May 11, 12 and 13. Gloucestershire won by 51 runs. This match was interesting nearly all through its course, for although Kent were considerably bshind on the first innings, they seemed to have a fair chance of winning u n il a few minutes before the finish, when their tail collapsed. Several men were seen to ad­ vantage, notably Dr. Grace, W . Troup, C. L. Town­ send, F. L. 'ihomas, Hale, G. H. Beloe, C. J. Burnup, Alec t earne, H. C. Stewart and G. J. V. Weigall. But the latting honours were carried off by G. H. Beloe and H. C. Stewart. In bowling W . S. A. Brown alone did anything remarkable. G lou cestersh ire . First innings. Second innings. W . G.

In the second innings he seemed well set for another hun­ dred, and altogether he has good reason to be satisfied with his first appearance in first-class cricket. C am bridge U n iv e r sity . L .

Hawkins, hand at ten minutes to five, and, as Leicestershire were still eight runs behind, their chances of making a draw were small, provided that the rain kept off. But the rain came down. Until a quarter to six the players waited—the one side in hope, the other in fear —that the game might be continued, but it was then decided to abandon the game. The match was, there­ fore, quite wasted as far as the championship table is concerned. L eice ste r sh ir e . lbw, b Bawlin B 32, lb 16 Total M r. A. J. W ebbe ’ s X I. First innings.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY v. MR. A. J. WEBBE’S TEAM. Played at Cambridge on May 11, 12 and 13. Cambridge won by an innings and 62 runs. Mr. Webbe’s team was hardly as strong as usual, although the bowling could not be considered weak. rlh e University gave a remarkably good account of themselves, nearly every man making a fine score. Mr. Jessop gave a specimen of his styJe of 1897 ; his innings of 60 was put together in forty-five minutes, and included a dozen 4’s. 'Jhe best cricket of the firtt day, at the end of which the University had scored 408 for eight wickets, was shown by Mr. Taylor, whose 90 included thirteen 4’s, and was made in an hour and forty-five minutes. W hen the Cambridge innings closed it was found that byes amounted to 32, which was accounted for by tlie fact that Mr. Pbilipson had to retire on account of a strain. The batting of Mr. W’ ebl e’s team was on the whole sur­ prisingly poor, but the general failure was to some extent redenned ly the excellent cricket played by Mr. E. R. W il*on, a Fiesbman, who had made 60 in the Freshmen's match a few days before. Going in SURREY v. LEICESTERSHIRE. Played at Leicester on May 11, 12 and 13. Abandoned. The Leicestershire men gave a very good account of themselvesin the first day’s play. They lost the toss, but had the pleasure of being put in first on a wicket which seemed lik ely to aid the bowlers, The ball got up occasionally,but, owing to a strain, Lockwood was obliged to retire after bowling five overs for seven runs, and in his absence the Surrey bowlers had grtat difficulty in making any impression on the batsmen. Knight and Mr. W ood both did well, and there was a long partnership between Pougher and, King, pro­ ducing 66 iuns. Pougher, who ccntinued to play a good game, made three drives for four in an over of Richardson’s. Agar stayed with him fr-r about an hour. Pougher was out with the total at 240, for an excellent innings of 104. The last wick et put on 33 runs in a short time, and when the innings closed Leicestershire were in a better position than they have been for some time in a Surrey match. Surrey had a quarter of an hour’s batting, but were not un­ lucky enough to lose two or three wicket sin that time as sometimes happens. On Saturday, Hayes, who, had gone in first with Brockwell, ^as seen to great advantage, helping the latter to put up over a hun­ dred before he was out for a very goodinnirgs, during which his rate of scoring had been almost exactly equal to that of Brockwell. Anothtr long partnership followed, Abel and Brockwell putting on 163 runs. Brockwell was the first to go, but Atei followed him almost immediately afterwards. I or the second time this season trockwell scored a hundred, and his bat­ ting was irreproachalle, as indeed vias the batting of Abel. A fforwards Bay ward, Mr. H. B. Richardson and Lockwood made hay out of the worn- out bowling, and when stumps were drawn the Leicestershire total had 1een left far behind, for Surrey bad made 475 for the loss of eight wickets. On Saturday the innings was soon brought to a conclusion, and it vtas now a question of getting Leicestershire cut during the day for less than 300 runs if the mat»h was to be won. Every Leicestershire man who went in made dout le figures, but there was no large score except the 56 made by Mr. de Trafford in the course of an hour’s brilliant batting.
