206 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 15, 1899. H A M P S H IR E r . S OM E R SE T . TWO SEPARATE HUNDREDS BY MAJOR POORE. P la y e d at P ortsm ou th on J u n e 12, 13 and 14. D raw n. Some very fine cricket by M ajor Poore, Barton, Colonel Spens, and Mr. Heseltine in the first innings of Hampshire brought about a very satisfactory total. Mr. Trask seemed likely to make anotherlig score for Somerset, but was run out when he had made 41. Nevertheless, despite the failure of Mr. W oods to do much. Somerset were not far short of the Hampshire total when the innings ended. Robson and Captain Hedley played wonderfully good cricket. In the Hampshire sfcond innings Major Poore and Colonel Spens again greatly distinguished themselves, the former accomplishing the very rare feat of making h couple of hundreds in a match. Thanks chiefly to these two batsmen, Hamp?hire were able to close their innings. H ampshire . Iirst innings. Second innings.

TH E AUSTRALIANS. T H E R E T U K N Y O R K S H IR E M A T C H . ELEVENTH OF TH E TOUR. Played at Bradford on June 12, 13 and 14. REM ARKABLE CRICKET BY J. T . BROW N , SEN. Drawn. The ups and downs of cricket were brought into strong contrast in this match. On Monday the Australians were playing a losing game, and no one would have been greatly astonished if by Tueeday night they were a beaten team. But although their total of tne first innings had been nearly doubled by that of the Yorkshiremen, the tables were completely turned by the time that stumps were drawn, and it was the turn o f Yorkshire to have an almost hopeless task before them. When the Australians won the toss a big score was anticipated by the thousands of spectators, for Jackson and Rhodes were absent from the Yorkshire team, leaving the bowling very weak indeed. But the wicket turned out to be somewhat fiery for some little time, and it suited Hirst to a nicety. But even before Hirst could get going, Brown, jun., made hw prpsence felt by bowling I'arling with the second ball of the match. When Hill went with the total at 13, and Worrall at 17, the crowd, realising that there was likely to be some entertaining cricket prepared to encourage their team to the utmost. Another wicket fell with the total at 38, and then for an hour the rot was stayed by Trumper *nd Gregory, who were, however, par'ed just when they seemed to have taken measure of the howlingr. From this moment the Australians were fighting vainly but desperately. Nothing could stay the triumphal progress of Hirst, who, wh^n the inn­ ings closed, had the splendid analysis of eight wickets for 48 runs. The question now naturally suggested itself—if Hirst had been so deadly, what would Jones be like! but a good deal of the tire had bet-n taken out of the wicket, and Jones proved to *e qure harm­ less, as were also the other bowlers, for a couple of hours, while Brown, sen., Tunnicliffe and Denton were in. The scoring was so rapid that the crowd were enraptured. All the bowlers were easy to Brown, who treated them with great severity, while Tunnicliffe, although he did not score as fast as his partner, found no difficulty in them. The to*al had been taken to 119 in an hour and a-quarter, an unusual experience for the Australians, when Tunni­ cliffe was out for a very fine ?6 ; but Denton took up the running, and for another half-hour Yorkshiiemen were blissfully cons ious that their representatives were on the road to glory. Then Brown was out for a superb innings of 84, which had been put together in an hour and three-quarters, and the innings which had promised so well began to pan out badly. Denton was going well when he was run out, and from this time the bowlers gradually began to make things unpleasant. Nevertheless, thanks to the good beginning, the total was 229 at the end of the day fur nine wickets. This was increased by six on Tuesday morning. Yorkshiremen felt that it was too much to hope that their bowlers would meet with the same success as in the firtt innings, but when, with the total at 11, Darling was bowled, and when Hill, who was more feared than any other man on the side, followed his example a few minutes later, the game seemed nearly over. But a sad mistake had been made, which was the turning point of the match. When W orrall’8 score was only three he was missed from an easy chance in the slips. As it happened the mistake was fatal, for Worrall, who was in splendid form, scored freely, and first with Gregory as a partner and afterwards with Noble, who was also missed when he had made 3, sounded the bowling to its lowest depth. Gregory was dismissed at 65, but the Yorkshire lead was soon reduced to nothing, and rapidly the Australians forged ahead until at the end of the day they were all out with a lead o f 321. W orrall’s innings was worthy of the very highest praise; he was batting for a couple of hours, and his innings included eighteen 4’s. Noble, who generally manages to score when runs are par­ ticularly wanted, played a very sound innings, while Kelly Hnd Laver distinguished themselves. W ith the whole of yesterday before them, the Yorkshiremen made a startwhich was calculated to unnerve any team, Noble, with consecutive balls,getting rid of Tunnicliffe and Denton before a run had teen scored—two of the safest bats in the team. After this it was long odds that the Australians would win. But a good stand was made by Mitchell with Brown, and later by Wainwright, but with hours of play before them four wickets were down for 170, Brown having just reached his hundred. The Australians approached nearer and nearer to victory, but Brown continued to play splendid cricket, and eventually the match had to be drawn when the last two men were in. It was a magnificent struggle by both sides. A ustralians . First innings. Second innings. J. J Darling, b Brown, jun. 0 b Hirst.................... 8 J.

DERBYSHIRE. Played at Old Trafford on June 12,13, and 14. Lancashire won by eight wickets. A few weeks ago Derbyshire, after suffering so many losses, would have been regarded an lik*lyto prove easy victims to Lancashire, but the laiter county has experienced very trying reverses of fortune of late, and it was by no means certain how the match would turn out. Derb) shire had the advan­ tage of winning ihe t<ss, and made fair use of it, thanks to good cricket by Walter Sugg, Mr. Uigson, and bagsbaw. Lancai-hire made a shockingly bad start, Paul and Tylde*ley each making a duck’s egg, but Ward pl-yed a fine innings, and later Cuttell very greatly distinguished himself. Derbyshire had a balance against them of nearly a hundred, and broke down in the second innings, despite an excellent start by Mr. W right and Uagshaw. The former played beautiful cricket.
