316 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. A ug . 2, 1900. NOTTS v. YORKSHIRE. Played at Trent Bridge on July 30,31 &Aug. 1. Abandoned. Still undefeated, Yorkshire entered on their mat' h with Notts without the services of Brown, sen., Mr. Ernest Smith, and Hunter. Mr E. R. W ilson, who was injured in the match against Worcestershire, again appeared in the te*m, and Mr. F. W . Elam, who has done well in Leeds matches, made his dibut. On a wicket which was a little slow after the heavy rains, Yorkshire made a good score, although there were no very big innings. The longest partnership produced 61 runs, and most of the play was slow, although Denton put together an excel ent 67 in an hour and ten minutes. Notts, in the course of an hour’s batting, put on 51 without loss, Shrewsbury making 29 and Dench 14. On Tuesday Shrewsbury was seen at his very best, and as he received very efficient support from Demch, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Groves, Notts were in a highly satisfactory posi'ion by the time that he was out for a splendid innings of 128. As tver he played all the bowling, on a not very easy wicket, with consummate ease. He was at the wickets for four hours and three-quaiters. Thanks chiefly to him his county had a lead of 65 runs, and as Yorkshire lost Lord Hawke and Denton before stumps were drawn, with the total at 67, it looked as if Notts were at least certain to save defeat One more wicket fell yesterday, and then Hirst and Tun- nicliffe took charge of the bowling, and were together at ten minutes to four, when the total was 197 for three wickets. Then the rain came down, and the match was abandoned. Y o rksh ire . First innings. Second innings. Lord Hawke, c Groves, b Wass .................................. 0 b J.

Leicestershire batted first on a soft wicket, which, to their discomfiture, improved later in the day when they were no longer batting. Several good scores were ma ‘e, but no one could get really goi g and the total was small. The innings of !46 lasted for three hours and a-half. The Warwickshire men were not inclined to hurry very much, but runs came with a good deal of certainty, if a little slowly, until Kinne r and W . G. Quaife got toge her, when the patience of bowlers and spectators was somewhat severe.y tried. Kinneir made his first twelve runs in an hour, while Q-uaife in fifty minutes scored three. Towards the end of the day Quaife hit three boundaries, and when stumps were drawn he was not out 24 and Kinneir not out 23, while the total was 105 for two wickets. On Tuesday the two not ouis wore down the bowling and made an invaluable stand When they were separated their county had a commanding lead, which was afterwards increised very considerably by Mr. Bainbridge and Walter Quaife, who both played ex­ cellent cricket. Charlesworth and Hargreave also made a very useful stand. The result was that Leicestershire went in a second time with a balance of 251 against them As in the first innings, no one could g-t going, and when stump* were drawn four wickets were down for 123, so that 128 were still required to save the innings defeat. But heavy rain in the night came to the assistance of Leicestershire, and Warwickshire was deprived of a victory. L eicestersh ire . First innings. Second innings. C.

They had a somewhat nondescript team, and only five men can be said to be regular members of the eleven. But the bowling was pretty much the same as usual. On a wicket which had very nearly recovered from the recent rains Worces­ tershire tave an excellent account of themselves. The main cause of this was the splendid cricket shown by Mr. R. E. Foster and Mr. H. K . Foster, who came together when the score was 69 (of which Mr. R. E. had scored most) and put on 68 in partner­ ship before the lormer was l.b.w. for a fine 70, made at the rate of exactly a run a minute. Mr. H. K. Foster still continued to play a faultless game, and was not disposed of till his score was 111, which he had made by beautiful all-round cricket in two hours a nd twenty minutes; he gave a chance at the wicket when his score was o ly a single—a luc*y escape for Worcestershire. The tail added largely to the total, and Middlesex had to go in at twenty miuutes to five against 335 They were unfortunate enough to lose Mr. Warner when he seeme i well set, but at the clo-e of the day they had made 66 with only one wicket down, Mr. Nicholls being not out 30. For a time everything went badly with them on Tuesday morn­ ing, Mr. Nicholls being out almost at once, and although Mr. Webbe made a very useful stand, five wickets were soon down. It wasleftto Mr. MacGregor to play the best innings for his side; he does not often find time to play nowadays, but when he does he nearly always makes an exceedingly useful score. Notwithstanding his efforts, h s county was 137 runs behind. Worcestershire did not do very well until Mr. R. E. Foster came in and played another beauti­ ful innings, being not out 80 when stumps were drawn with the total at 197 for 6 wickets. Yesterday morning he was out l.h.w. for the second time in the match, having on y increased his score by 3. Worcestershire had only brought their total to 205 when the rain came and postponed play for half-an- hour, during which the captain declared the innings closed. Middlesex now had to make 312 to win, with four hours before them. Half the side were out for 61, when Mr. Webbe and Robertson, on a wet wicket, made a stand which eventually saved the game for their c unty. At first the scoring was pretty level, but Mr, Robertson’s score began to go ahead, while Mr. Webbe kept steadily on, never missing a chance of scoring. It was not until Mr. Robertson had made over a hun ired, that he was disposed of, and the game safe, Mr. Webbe being still unconquered. It was one of the pluckiest stands of the season.
