2 1 4 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. J u n e 2 0 , 1 9 0 1 . SURREY v. LANCASHIRE. Played at Old Trafford on June 13, 14 and 15. Lancashire won by nine wickets. T o go from the extrem e o f a very hard and fiery w icket to a very soft one is a change w hich is generally a little too m uch for batsm en, and the Surrey m en suffered considerably, w h e D , after a day in w hich no play was possible, they w ent first to the wickets on Friday. A collapse follow ed w hich bore a strikiog resem blance to that against Yorkshire, and, as in that m atch, the first five wickets fell for 16 runs. B ut in the Lancashire m atch there was an even more pronounced breakdown, fo r A bel and Brockw ell put on 11 runs for the first w icket, so that the next four w ickets only produced 5 runs between them . There was a little bad luck about tbis, for the loss o f tw o o f the w ickets could not be attributed to the excellence o f the bow ling, L ockw ood being run out; through stepping out o f his crease after playing a ball, and B ay w ard being throw n out w hen attem pting a short run off the first ball w hich he received. M eanwhile, Brockw ell had held on to his end, and had begun to look like staying, but w hen only tw o m ore runs had been added he was caught at point off a rising ball, and six wickets were dow n ; he had been in thirty- five m inutes for his eight runs. A t 33 M r. Jephson was out and seven wickets were dow n. Things were uncom m only serious. B u t a stand was m ade by M r. L . W alker and Lees w ho, while playing a steady gam e, hit bold ly at tim es, and the total w^s m ore than doubled w hen Lees fell. M r. W alker carried his bat for 39 after batting fo r seventy m inutes. A total o f 92 was not at all bad for a bow lers’ wicket, and everybody expected to see a breakdow n when Lancashire went in. B ut the Lancashire men realised that a bold gam e was the best under the circum ­ stances, and after W ard left w ith the total at 8 there were a succession of short but brilliant innings each o f w hich helped the total considerably. M r. M ac­ Laren m ade 13 off an over o f L ockw ood’s, and 50 w ent up after the innings had lasted for thirty-five m inutes. W hile M r. Garnett and Tyldesley w ere together the cricket was exceedingly attractive, the form er hitting M r. Jephson fo r six 4’s. The partner­ ship produced 42 in a quarter o f an hour. Tyldesley’s 63 was a m agnificent innings w hich lasted for seventy- five m inutes ; he hit in the m ost determ ined manner w hen the least opportunity presented itself. The tail all played to make runs, and when the innings closed ju st before the tim e for draw ing stum ps the total was 155 m ore than that o f Surrey, and as there was very little chance that the w icket w ould im prove much Surrey seem ed likely to be beaten badly. It m ay be said tnat during part o f the Lancashire innings the Surrey bowlers were handicapped by a w et ball. On Saturday Lockw ood m ade a m ost plucky effort to save his side, being at the w ickets for three hours for his 63. A bel, M r. Jephson, and H ayward all tatted w ell, the form er m aking som e fine hits, but there was never m uch chance that Lancashire w ould be eet a task o f any difficulty. S u b b e y . ' First innings.

N IN TH OF THE TOUR. Played at Taunton on June 13, 14, and 15. Somerset won by 341 runs. A lthough the South Africans had m uch the worst o f this m atch all through, they once m ore showed w hat a splendid team o f fighters they are, and when everything seemed lost M r. Shalders and M r. H alli­ w ell put on 110 in an hour and five m inutes. They both played splendid cricket, and although the position of their side was quite hopeless, they gave a very m uch better appearance to the gam e and greatly increased the reputation which their side has gained for playing up under the m ost discouraging circum ­ stances. It was a pity that M r. Halliwell did not quite succeed in m aking his hundred, for he deserved the success. For once the South A frican tail collapsed badly in the first innings, and it was this w hich gave Som erset such a com m anding position. M r. Sinclair m ade his reappearance in the team and played a very g ood first innings. The Som erset batting was good all round, M r. L . C. H . Palairet and Lewis being in great form in both innings. B ut the chief feature of the Somersetshire display was the stand m ade in the second innings by Lewis and G ill; it produced 119 in an hour, the latter scoring no few er than 85 o f these, w hich is his highest score for ihis county. Lewis also m ade his first hundred in first-class cricket. SOMERSETSHIRE F irst innings. L . C. H . Palairet, c Bisset, b R o w e ...................................... 72 P .R .

M.C.C. AND GROUND v. LONDON COUNTY. Played at Lord’s on June 13 and 14. London County won by four wickets. The batsm en in this m atch found themselves m ore or less at the m ercy of the bowlers, and the groundm an m ust envy his friends w ho can pitch their wickets where they like B ut the new position o f the wickets at L ord’s certainly has the effect o f giving the bowlers a chance o f distinguish­ ing themselves when the new turf happens to be called into use. D r. Grace vastly distinguished him self with the ball in both innings, being helped a little by the wind. Carpenter played very sound and very steady cricket in the M.C.C. second innings, and Mr. Goldie and Mr. W . Smith put on 103 in an hour in the County second innings at a tim e when there was a strong probability that their side w ould be easily defeated. M .C.C. First innings.
