Cricket 1900

M ay 1 7, 1 9 0 0 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 1 33 KENT v. YORKSHIRE. Played at Catford on May 10, 11 and 12. Yorkshire won by 131 runs. Cricket on the first day of this match w is not played under exhilarating conditio: 8 , and it was not possible to play at all until about four o’clock, when the tuif •was still very soft owing to he*vy rains. Despite this. Mr Bradley managed to get a lot of devil on the ball, and for a time nobor’y could do anything with him ; when the batsmen began to feel at home with him Alec Hearne nude his presence felt. If it had not been f<r some exceedingly g od cricket by Wain- wright. who played exactly th j right sort of game for the wicket, and also came off. the Yorkshiremen would possib’.y have all been out before stumps were drawn; as it was they lost seven wickets for 116. The wicket steadily improved on Friday, and the specta­ tors had on the whole a most enjoyable day’s cricket. The Yorkshiremen inc eased their total by 47, thanks to some brilliant batting by Mr. Ernest Smith, who was particularly severe on Alec Hearne, off whom he scored 20 in his first two overs of the day. The Kent batting was disappointing, Mr. Mason and Mr Wei- gall alone addiD g many runs to the score, with the result that Yorkshire had a lead of 51. For a time it seemed as if a great deal would depend on this lead, for they lost ha.f their wickets fur 61). A startling change then came over the game. Mr. Smith «ame in to join Wainwright, who was again playing bold cricket. The bowling was mastered to such an ex­ tent, that when stumps were drawn the t* tal had been increased ly 16i runs, neither of tie two men being deposed of. The partnership was dissolved for 166 on Saturday, but Yorkshire won very easily. Y o r k sh ir e . First innings. Brown, sen., c Blythe, Bradley ........................

SURREY v. HAMPSHIRE. Played at the Oval onMay 10th, 11thand 12th. Surrey won by an innings and 78 runs. Very few people were I old enough to brave the inclemency of the weather on the first day of this match. Surrey again had to do without the services of A te1, and of course th^ Hampshire men were very Meak i« the absence of their soldier >atsmen. The Surrey batting against the moderate tow lirg cf thtir opponents was distinctly g< od, notwith.tanding that ihe wicket was not suitable for run getting. Hayward once more played fine cricket, and, doubt­ less, the usitois felt that in getting rid of him for 55 they lad done a good stroke of work. Hayes and Bolland also 1atted well, but Fiockwell and Mr. Crawford had not yet got going. Towards the end of the day (the game did not b«gin until a quarter to three) Mr. Jepbson atd Lees put on 59 in fifty minutes for the seven'h wicket, the latter being out a few m iiiUtes before stumps were drawn, with seven wic'f e's down for 254 The innings was by no means over, for Mr. Jephson found a useful partner in Stoner, while Richardson hit with the greatest vigour, puttit g on 56 in twenty minutes, for the last wicket, with his captain. It was decidedly his day. Possibly he might have made 100 or so if Mr. Jephson had not got out when he himself was approaching his 100 , after 1 atting a lit'le over three hours for 89; the early part of his innings was extremely slow, while at the end of it he hit brilliaiitly. Although Frockwell did not make many runs, he proved to be in great bowling form The commencement of the Hampshire innings was disappointing, for the first three wickets fell for 35, most of which had been made by Mr. Robson. Later, Mr. Newton, Mr. Sprot and Mr. L. H. Gay, the old Cambridge wicket-keeper, who has been in Ceylon for some years, played finely. In the follow-on, Hampshire began vie’l enough, for Mr. Hill and Baiton put on 63 in flfiy minutes for tiie first wicket, the former ba ting paiticularly well. A rot then set in. and although Mr. Gay made matters a little better, seven wickets were down at the close of play for 117—a hopeless outlook.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY.—THE FRESHMEN’S MATCH. Played at Oxford on May 9, 10 and 11. Mr. Knox’s Side won by 35 runs. On the first day of this match the bowlers had much the best of it, Mr. Munn especially distinguish­ ing himself by doing the hat trick in bis first over, his victims being Mr. H. T. W yld, Mr. R. S. Darling and Mr. T. R. Crawley-Boevey, all good batsmen. Only two men on either side made over 20 runs, the highest score being 30 by Mr. W. Findlay. On Friday the bat quite beat the ball. Mr. Wyld atoned for his duck’s egg in the first innings by scoiing 74 in an hour and forty minutes—a very good innings, while Mr. Bonham-Carter only missed his hundred by four runs; he also played very tine cricket. Mr. Parton p’ayed splendidly on Saturday. M e . F. P. K kox’s S id e . First innings. Second innings. G. F. Beyt.s ( 8 t. Paul’s), b Fawcett ........................... l cFoster,b Browne 0 H. T.
