Cricket 1900

364 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A ug . 23, 1900. of Tunnicliffe against the Somerset total of *50. Yesterday, Yorkshireman after Yorkshireman made runs, and it was almost the feature of the inniDgs that Birst, for once, was dismissed cheaply. York­ shire had a lead of 260 when they declared, and although Mr. W oods played a great innings for Somerset, his county was severely beaten. S o m k r 8 k t . First innings. L . C. H.

Played at Brighton on August 20, 21 and 22. Sussex won by 210 runs. The first match between these teams resulted in an extraordinary exhibition of cricket, for after Leices­ tershire had scored a huge total, Sussex went in and easily passed it with wickets in hand. In the return match the positions were reversed, and Sussex made the big total in the first innings, although it was not as large as that of Leicestershire, at Leicester. Mr. Fry played another of his most brilliant innings, and brought his total of hundreds for the season to nine. He hit seventeen 4’s in his 145, which took a little less than three hours to make. Every other batsman who went in on Monday scored double figuies, Ranjit- sinhji playing another beautiful innings. He began with a single, and then made half a dozen fours in succession, five of them in an over from Whitehead. He was rapidly approaching his hundred, and there seemed not the BJightest hope of getting him out, when he made a mistake and was caught for 73, an innings which had listed for fifty minutes only. When stumps were drawn, the total was 394 for six wickets. But the tail collapsed on Tuesday morning, and only 26 more runs were added. So brilliantly did Mr. de Trafford bat when Leicestershire went in, and so well was he backed up by Mr. Wood that 97 runs were put up for the first wicket, but although Mr. de Trafford gave the bowlers such a shock that it was thought they would not recover in time to prevent Leicestershire from running up a very large total, the innings came to an end very much sooner than was anticipated. Mr. Marriott and Whitehead played fine cricket, and when only four wickets were down the total had exceeded 200. But the tail collapsed even more rapidly than the Sussex tail. 8ussex went in again and scored 85 for the loss of two wickets before the day’s play ended. Mr. Latham and Killick batted extremely well yesterday, and at 162 the innings was declared, leaving Leicestershire to make 335 to win, a task which proved far beyond their powers. S u s s e x . C.

Played at Cheltenham on Aug. 20, 21 and 22. Gloucestershire won by two wickets. There were some odd contrasts in the batting of the Essex men on Monday Most of the team seemed quite unable to play the bowling, and six of them made single figures. Two other men made between 30 and 40, and the to'al would have been insignificant if it had not been for the great ianings played by Mr. Perriu, who finding that his companions were somewhat at sei, took charge of the bowling in the most decided manner, made a series of brilliant drives, and assisted by the weakness of the Gloucester­ shire fielding, saved his side from immediate disaster. He was at the wickets for three hours and three- quarters and hit fifteen fours. Eesex had to bat with only te 1 men, for Mr. McGahey was taken ill and had to return to London, while his substitute, a. Russell, did not arrive in time to go in. Neither Mr. Lucas nor Mr. Kortright was playing. It was by no means a large total whi h Gloucestershire had to face, but in the course of h ilf an hour’s ba'ting they lost Wrathall before stumps were drawn with the total at 19. But the tw >not outs, Mr, Kice and Towns-tnd, played careful cricket on Tuesiay morning and were not parted until the to al was 168, when Mr. Rice was at last caught after batting for two hours and a half. Things now looked very well indeeJ for the home team, but there was a great change in the appearance of the game, and Mr. Townsend alone was able to do anythi g with the bowling. Be, however, kept steadily on. and reache I his hundred eventually, but he received very little assistance from his companions. Nevertheless, the total exceeded that of Essex by 37. By the time that the day’s play ended Essex was in a bad way, f r they hid lost 5 wickets for 7 ', and were thus only 37 runs on. Carpenter, with 42, still sur­ vived. There was htavy rain in the night, and a lead of even 3^ was by no means to be despised. The remaining five wickets added 44 runs, and Gloucester­ shire had 10 make 82 to win. The result was a desperate struggle from which Gloucestershire emerged triumphant. Esssx. First innings. H. G. Owen, c Rice, b Brown 34 Carpenter, b Fargus ........... 6 P.
