118 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a y 9, 1 9 01. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY FRESH- MEN’S MATCH. Played at Cambridge on May 2, 3 and 4. Mr. Dowson’s team won by seven wickets. The fine bowling of M’Corquodale, and the batting of L. V. Harper and H. S. Bompas were the noticeable features of the first day’s play in this match. M’Corquodale’s success was something of a surprise, but the two batsmen had gained great reputations at school. On Friday, Mr. H. K. Longman, who also has a great school reputation, vastly distinguished himself, and he and J. W . Marsh made the bowling look very simple. Despite their success, M’Corquodale again came out with a very good analysis. M r . H ind ’ s S id e . First innings. J. W. Marsh (Private), run out................................... 1 8 . 8 .

Played at Lord’s on May 2 and 3. Notts won by an innings and 90 runs. On the first day of this match, Notts scored 319 for seven wickets against 124 by the M.C.C., and there was not much likelihood that the home team could make up such a leeway. Notts increased their total to 341, and the weak batting team of the M.C.C. never looked like making anything of a stand in their second innings. The match was over soon after the luncheon interval. Hallam again had a fine analysis. M.C.C. and Ground. First innings. Second innings. W. L. Murdoch, b J. Gunn 11 c W. Gunn, b J. Hearne (A.), b Wass......... 6 P.

London County won (by previous arrangement) on the first innings by 77 runs^ The Surrey team had not done so well against the Next Seventeen that the friends of the county could feel any great enthusiasm over the prospects of the season. After the first day’s cricket at the Crystal Palace, the outlook was by no means promising, for a not particularly strong London County team had completed an innings of 382. Dr. Grace was in great form, and he and Mr. C. J. B, Wood put on 131 for the first wicket in an hour and three-quarters, which was not by any means a slow rate of scoring for a man in his 53rd year, with a partner who is generally considered as a sticker. If Surrey had succeeded in getting rid of Braund cheaply, they might have finished off the innings very much sooner, but Braund was a thorn in their side, and made the first hundred of the season in first-class matches. The new Surrey bowler, Stacey, was not in luck’s way in this his first big match, and of the older bowlers, Mr. Jephson had by far the best analysis. The Surrey batting was not at all unlike that which had been shown by the team in the match against the Seven­ teen ; most of the men made useful scores, but no one stood out prominently enough to give a hope that the London County total would be exceeded. The feature of the innings was the bowling of W . G., who seemed to puzzle everybody. Hayward, Mr. Jephson and Hayes all did well. The Surrey innings was over in time to allow London County to put on 78 runs without loss, and, as by arrangement it had been agreed to decide the match on the first innings, it was pretty nearly certain that the game was practically over. On Saturday, London County continued their second innings with all their wickets standing and a lead of 155 runs, so that unless a marvellous collapse occurred, they were certain of victory. With all the life and interest taken out of the game, Dr. Grace and Mr. Wood, as in the first innings, made a very long stand for the first wicket; they were not parted until the total was 142— 11 runs more than their partnership produced in the first innings. Braund again played fine cricket, and was well backed up by Mr. Beldam. Eventually, W . G. declared his innings, although, with the match already won, there was, of course, no necessity to do this ; but it gave Abel and Mr. Crawford an opportunity of showing that they are in form.
