Cricket 1900

252 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J uly 5, 1900. HAMPSHIRE v. ESSEX. s o a r ’ s b e n e f it m a t c h . Played at Southampton on July 2, 3, and 4. Drawn. As this was a benefit match no one could have beeu surprised that the weather was so bad that no play was possible on the Mondav. On Tuesday morning Essex won the toss and made a good beginning with Carpenter and Mr. Owen, who was again able to take his place in the team. Mr. Perrin, Mr. McGahey, and Mr. W. M. Turner all played very useful innings, and although Mr. Lucas was not at hand to play one of his splendid innings, the total was large enough to promise success, for there was every appearance that the wicket would not improve. Hampshire had three-quarters of an hour at the wickets before stumps were drawn, and lost Mr. Robson, Mr. Hill, and Mr. f*prot for 35. Webb came to the rescue of his side yesterday morning, and was well backed up by Mr. Newton, but Essex had a lead of 93 runs—no little advantage on a queer wicket. They made 54 for three wickets and declared, leaving Hampshire to get 147, but, o f course, without sufficient time. In playing for the draw Hampshire were entirely successful. E ssex .

There was little more than an hour’s play in this match on Monday. Derbyshire, who won the toss, lost Mr. W right for a duck’s egg, but afterwards put on 75 runs without any more disasters, so that they had made an excellent start on a wicket which promised to be exceedingly difficult as the game went on. Nothing of any importance was done on Tuesday after Bagshaw and Storer were parted, and the total was not so great as had been anticipated, for the wicket was more difficult. Worcestershire began in a most disheartening manner, but Mr H. K. Foster and Arnold stopped the rot, while Bowley and Whel- don made such useful scores that ;the total was not far behind of Derbyshire. When stumps were drawn on Tuesday each side had completed an innings. Thanks chiffly to Mr. W right and Chatterton, Derby­ shire again did as well as couli reasonably be expected on the difficult wicket, and put Worcester­ shire in to make 182—a big task. Four wickets were soon down, and although Mr. H. K . Foster made a splendid attempt to pull the match out of the fire, Derbyshire m on pretty easily. D e r b y sh ir e . First innings.

SURREY. Played at Edgbaston on July 2, 3, and 4. Drawn. The Warwickshire team did not by any means make the best use of their opportunities on Monday, for on a good wicket, with the bowlers handicapped by a wet ball, they only managed to put on 142 runs in the course of three hours’ battiog which the weather rendered possible. A fine stand for the second wicket was made by Kinneir and Devey, and when tbe partnership was broken the former and W . G. Quaife played out time with as much steadiness as if they had been playing for a nearly hopeless draw. Quaife made his first two runs in half an hour, his first three in three-quarters of an hour, and his first six in an hour. He had reached 13 and was still unconquered when stumps were drawn. On Tuesday the two batsmen still kept up their wickets against the Surrey bowlers, and Quaife. for the third time in succesion, was run out. He had been battiog for five hours for 94. The innings was by no means over, for Mr. Bainbiidge played attractive cricket for 44, and Charlesworth for 46, while the tail did well. By the time that Surrey managed to get to the wickets, Warwickshire had made their own position secure, as far as a drawn game was concerned. The only question was whether they could get Surrey out twice in a little over a day. Not only was this found quite impossible, but Surrey headed the Warwickshire total. For this they had to thank every one of their batsmen who went in, though the honours rested with the two famous professionals, Abel and Hayward, who, while not playing such slow cricket as some of worth a no-ball. T H E WE S T INDIAN TEAM. THE LEICESTERSHIRE MATCH. SEVENTH OF THB TOUR. Played at Leicester on July 2, 3 and 4. West Indians won by an innings and 87 runs. For this match the West Indian team had enlisted th ; valuable services of a new recruit, in the person of Mr. P. F. Warner, the famous Middlesex cricketer, wh< se brother is the captain of the team. The result, from the point of view of 1 he visitors, was altogether satisfactory, for Mr. Warner, in partnership with Mr. Ollivierre, put up 238 runs in two hours and a quarter. Only one of the regular Leicestershire bowlers was playing, and the batsmen had rather a fine time of it. But after the separation was brought about, there was a slight collapse, and before stumps were drawn, three more wickets fell for an addition of C9 runs. At close of play the total was 307 for the loss of four wickets, so that the visitors seemed to have an excellent chance of winning. A good innings by Mr. Constantine on Tuesday helped to raise the total, and when Leices .ershire went iu they had a difficult task before them. In the first innings they did very little, but in the second M r. W ood, Mr. De Trafford, and Coe made a noble fight, but in vain. W est I n dian s .
