Cricket 1899

172 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 1, 1899. Sussex was the previous best. Other innings over 800 are as fo llow s:— 887, Yorkshire against Warwickshire, at Birmingham, in 1896. 843, Australians against the Past and Present of Oxford University, at Portsmouth, in 1893. 803, Non-Smokers against the Smokers, on the East Melbourne Ground, in 1887. 801, Lancashire against Somerset, at Taunton, in 1895. W e omitted to mention in last week’s Cricket that the picture of the “ Australians Com ing in to L u n ch ” was taken from a photograph b y the Standard Photo Company. A s far as one can ju dge from appear­ ances the change in the weather has come at an opportune time for the Tonbridge Cricket Week, which begins next Monday. Tth Week is so well arranged that nothing but miserable weather can spoil it. Kent will play Sussex on the first three days of the week, and Somerset on the last three. The South Eastern and Chatham and Dover Railways are issuing cheap return tickets b y convenient trains. Particulars will be found in our advertisement columns. T h r o u g h o u t his long innings against Somerset, Abel did not show a sign of weakness ; he hardly gave a chance ; he never tired; and he never hurried. It may be that the bow ling was not brilliant, but it takes a great batsmen to make nearly 400 runs when it is not absolutely feeble—which it never was— and Abel may still be regarded as more likely to make a very large score on a fast wicket than any batsman in England. T h e cry of the newsboys at Lord’s on Tuesday:— “ Surrey all out, Abel not out.” The follow ing are some of the latest hundreds:— APRIL. 30. Major Martin, The W orld v.

[The Australians heat Lancashire at Old Trafford by an innings and 84 runs.] Old Trafford, when the sun was low, Was left to men who roll and mow, And also men with brooms who go To clear the debris rapidly. But Trafford saw another sight, Which did not cause her much delight — The Kangaroo and Red Rose fight, Where fell the Red Rose heavily. Last Thursday see the team arrayed, With not a man to feel afraid; And anxious every bowler prayed That he might rout the enemy. But, though the howlers all had striven, Fast flew the balls by Trumper driven, And loud the cry went up to heaven, For lack of Mold’s artillery. But sadder yet that sight shall grow, When Trafford sees the Rose brought low ; When dark and gloomy is the flow Of wickets falling rapidly. ’Tis morn, but scarce the game begun, When lo ! the Red Rose innings done ! And J . T. Tyldesley stands alone In all that dread catastrophe. The combat deepens. On, ye brave, The single innings loss to save ! Play, Tyldesley! In this crisis grave Play up with all thy chivalry. Few, few who sat on shilling seat Could think, just then, of words discreet— But Lancashire is not effete, You bet your bottom ha’penny.

Played at Gravesend on May 29, 30 and 31. Essex won by 118 runs. On a wicketwhich had not quite recovered from the recentheavyrains, the two teamsended the day without any advantage to either side, for while Essex had put together 158, and lost a couple of wickets in the second innings for 11, Kent were 42 runs behind. Good batting was shown by H. G. Owen, P. Perrin, Russell, Reeves, Alec. Hearne.and H. M. Br<ybrooke, but on the whole the bowlers had the best of matters, Young particularly distinguishing himself. On Tuesday the wicket was a little more in favour of the batsmen, and after a discouraging beginning, Essex began to make runs. It had began to look as if Carpenter was altogether out of form, but he came out of his shell in a most unmistakable manner, and played wonderfully good cricket. A. J. Turner’s innings of 38 was also a pretty display of batting, and Bussell again proved how useful he is. A t the end of the day Kent were in a very satisfactory position, but yesterday they collapsed.
