J u n e 2 ? , 1 9 0 1 . CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 2 3 1 THE TONBRIDGE WEEK. KENT v. SUSSEX. Played at Tonbridge on June 20, 21, and 22. Sussex won by an innings and 64 runs. The rain played a considerable part in this m atch. On Thursday K ent batted first on a w icket which, ow ing to tbe rain on the previous evening, was soft, and although it was n «t particularly difficult it was decidedly a good perform ance to sc »re 239 upon it. Part o f the tim e the Sussex bowlers had a w et ball to deal w ith. M r. Burnup and M r. D illon put on 81 for the third w icket after H um phreys and A lec Hearne had been disposed of for 20. The cricket was not very exhilarating at any tim e during the day, for all the batsm en found great difficulty in playing Tate, w ho was unchanged throughout the innings. M r. M arsham m de a moat useful 47. Sussex had half- an-hour’s batting. and put on 19 without loss before stumps were drawn. On Friday— the “ ladies’ day ” at Tonbridge— the weather was perfect, and the w icket im proved, although its pace was not quite even. M r. Fry was in great form , and scored 88 of the 136 runs made during his partnership with V ine in an hour and forty m inutes for the first wicket. W hen H illick w ent in Vine had scored 39, and both were level at 49. Eventually Vine w h s dis­ m issed after being at the w icket for tw o hours and three-quarters for 64—a m ost useful innings. .Ranjit­ sinhji was disappointing, for he was not quite at his best, although he m ade som e brilliant hits during his stay at the w icket o f half-an-hour. Towards the end o f the innings M r. Newham once m ore showed that m atch practice is not absolutely necessary for him , for he m ade 60 runs in faultless style. 8ussex had a lead of 135, an 1 as K ent had lost two wickets for 19 before stum ps were drawn everything pointed to a defeat for the hom e team. On Saturday Tate bowled splendidly, being again unchanged. H eavy rain had fallen in the night, and a hot sun dried the w icket in the m orning. H ence the natural collapse o f K ent. K ent .

NOTTS v. YORKSHIRE. AN INNINGS OP 13 BY NOTTS. Played at Trent Bridge on June 21 and 22. Yorkshire won by an innings and 18 runs. W ith undoubtedly the strongest team in the county cham pionship, Yorkshire still continues to experience all the good luck that is about. Rain never by any chance com es at an unfortunate tim e fo r Yorkshire, but always at the expense o f their opponents. The w icket w as by no means easy when Yorkshire went in first, but b y com parison with its state on the follow ing day it was excellent. Still a team which was not strong in batting m ight have done badly upon i t ; but several o f the Yorkshirem en played first-class cricket, notably Denton, w hose play on the leg side was particularly good. D uring the innings, Shrews­ bury split his right hand, and at L ord H aw ke’s request Harrison took his place as a m em ber o f the team. N otts had a few minutes* batting and lost a w icket for one run, and being without Shrewsbury, w ho had just played him self into splendid form , their prospects were anything but good. T o add to their m isfortunes, it rained hard in the night, and on Friday m orning the w icket was in a hopeless state as far as batsmen were concerned. U nder the circum ­ stances everybody felt that it w ould be next to im possible to do m uch w ith Rhodes and H aigh or Hirst, but no one anticipated that the result w ould be as bad as it was. From the first N otts broke down, and in less than an hour the innings was over for 13, o f which one run had been m ade overnight for one wicket. Rhodes took six w ickets for 4 runs and H aigh four for 8 runs. N otts being 191 runs behind were m ade to follow on, and although this tim e they played a fine innings, they had no chance o f saving themselves from defeat. Irem onger and M r. A . O. Jones, the latter taking his life in his hand, put on 82 for the first wicket. M r. Jones m ade som e beautiful hits. Afterw ards there was a tem porary collapse follow ed by a fine stand by J. Gunn and Irem onger. The latter carried his bat through the innings for 66, w hich was put together in three h ou rs; at tim es he hit trem endously hard and once sent Rhodes out of the ground. H irst had a rem arkable analysis in this innings. Y o rk sh ire . Brown, c Anthony, b W a s s .............................. 6 Tunnicliffe, b D ixon... 31 D en ton ,cW .,b J.G unn 73 F .

For this trial m atch the University captain made the experim ent o f including M r. Dewe in the team as a bowler, while L ockw ood, M r. Jephson, Bayes, Brockw ell, and Lees were not playing in the Surrey team. This gave a chance to the comm ittee of trying M r. H . 8. Bush, and giving another opportunity to H olland, M r. D olbey, and Smith. Under these circum stances the 8urrey eleven seemed hardly like itself. A bel played a rem arkable innings when Surrey w on the toss, and nearly succeeded in carrying his bat right through : he also did exceedingly well in the second innings, in which M r. Crawford greatly distinguished him self. O f the Cam bridge bowlers M r. Dow son was by far the m ost successful. The m ost noticeable point about the Cambridge batting was the second innings o f M r. Day, w ho went in when tw o wickets were down for 66 and, playing excellent cricket for three hours and twenty m inutes, carried his bat fo r 91, and alm ost succeeded in bringing off a victory fo r his side. L ike A bel he also played good cricket in his other innings. O f the other Cam bridge batsm en M r. Longm an, M r. W ilson, and M r. H ind w ere the only ones who could make m uch o f the bow ling, which, on a w icket w hich had been in jured by the rain, somewhat helped the bowlers. S u r r e y . First innings.
