Cricket 1899

166 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J uke 1, 1899. wicket which was not as difficult as had been antici­ pated. Chatterton, Walter Sugg, Ellis and Hulme all played good cricket for Derbyshire. Leicestershire did badly at the end of the day, losing four wickets for 41 and five for 60 before stumps were drawn. The tail did little, but it was enough to save the follow-on. In the second innings of Derbyshire Mr. W right and Bagshaw played a great game, and thanks to them the captain felt justified in declaring the innings closed when three wickets were down, leaving Leices­ tershire to make 223 in two hours and a half if th» y could. It did not seem that Derbyshire were running a risk at all in doing this, but the display of batting given by Mr. de Trafford and Knight was altogether unexpected. From the first they set to work as if their only object in life were to make the runs, and when Derbyshire managed to miss Mr. de Trafford with his score at 39, they found he had got entirely beyond their control. He was ably seconded by Knight, and runs came with rapidity. A t the end of the first hour the total was 87, which was not big enough to cause much uneasiness to Derbyshire, but afterwards the rate of scoring rose at such an alarm­ ing rate that the almost impossible feat of making the runs in the time became a question of whether it were possible after all. But although the two men did their level best, and were not separated, they could not quite accomplish their tack; they were within only 29 runs of victory when time was called. It was a splendid performance. D e r b y sh ir e . L .

Still without Lockwood, and therefore s ill veak in bowling, Surrey altogether outplayed ihe Umveroity. Mr. Key, when he won the toes, made a radical change in the batting order, which, as far as Mr. Jephson was concerned, resulted in success. In both innings Jephson was in his best form, and in both innings he made a large proportion of the runs scored. Mr Crawford did not follow up his good performance against Gloucestershire by another fine innings, but Hayes played up to the reputation which he has made for himself this year. Hayward, Brockwell, Abel and Mr. Key all did fairly well, but Mr. H. B. Richardson seems a little “ off colour” just at present. There was nothing in the Cambridge bowjing which was likely to give much satisfaction to the University captain. The Cambridge batting was on the whole weak in the extreme. Mr. Jessop did not come off in either innings, Mr. W ilson as usual did well, and Mr. Stogdon played good cricket in the second innings. But the only man who stood out at all prominently was Mr. Winter. Surrey men have reason to con­ gratulate themselves on the excellent way in which Hayward bowled in both innings; otherwise, as far as tiie bowling was concerned, there was not much reason for jubilation.

FINE BOW LING BY RH ODES. Played at Leyton on May 25 and 26. Yorkshire won by 241 runs. If the Essex captain had done his duty by his side in this match he would certainly hive managed to win the toss, for the advam age of batting first was very considerable ; but even Harry Trott was not in­ fallible, although he set a brilliant example to other captains in the matter of winning the toss. The Yorkshiremen owed their success in the first innings chiefly to the batting of three men, F. S. Jackson, Denton and Wainwright, all of whom played attrac­ tive cricket of the sort which was required by the state of the wicket. Mead bowled remarkably well, but could find no *ne to help him. 'Jhe Essex men made a most disastrous beginning. Mr. Owen and Carpenter were both out to yorkers, the former with the total at 0, the latter at 7, while the next three wickets all fell at 16. McGahey managed to keep up his wicket for a long time, which would have been a godsend for his county if anyone had been able to hit at the other end ; he was in three-quarters of an hour for 2, but in the next quarter of an hour he trebled this score. Rhodes was irresistible, and the very few men who tried to hit him did not fare much better than t ie rest. It seemed at one time that Essex would have to follow on. By the end of the first day Yorkshire had increased their lead of 113 by 20 with­ out further loss, so that they began Friday’s cricket with the prospects of an easy victory. Again their batting was good, and again the team played the right game. Brown’s innings of 40 was a particularly good performance, Jackson and Denton again plajed a fine game, and at the end Haigh made a very useful 30. Once more Mead bowled with great success, but, as in the first inniogs, he had to do almost everything himself. Essex had a task which was practically im­ possible when they began their second innings with 306 to win. Rhodes was for the second time in the match in great form, and with the exception of Carpenter and A. J. Turner no one offered any resistance to his bowling. Y orksh ire . First innings.
