Cricket 1901

J une 20, 1901. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 237 S U S S E X v . C A M B R ID G E U N I V E R S I T Y . P layed at B righton on Jun e 24, 25 and 26. Sussex won b y an in n in gs and 73 runs. Except while Mr Fargus was at the wickets the butting of the Cambridge team on Monday was not of the Kind with which one usually associates Univer­ sity cricket; it was for ihe most part steady and methodical but certainlv not enterprising. Still, some good cricket of its kind was seen. The best inniDgs was that of Mr. Hatper, who by very careful play kept up hi* wicket for two hours a d a half during *hich he scored 82 runs. Mr. Robertson was fortunate in being missed three or four limes in making his 48. Mr. Dowson played a useful innings but was an hour and ten minutes in makiog his runs. The battiDg of Mr. Faigus and Mr. Marsh was in marked contrast to that of the rest of th ' team. These two batsmen at least shewed enterprise and f. r some time they played a good game, the former making some fine hits in his innnings <f 61. which was completed in forty minutes. Thanks to bis vigorous play the total was eminently respectaUe when stumps were drawn—317 for nine wicfeets. The last wicket added 13 runs, and Sussex had a fairly difficult task before them. With Mr. Fry and Vine they began exceedingly well and at lur ch time the score had been taken to 118 without the loss of a wicket. Vine took a very long time to play himself in, being nearly three-quarters of an hour in making his first three runs, and even when he had got going he was in no burry. But what was of much more importance he kept in while Mr. Fry was enjoying himself, and it was not until the total was 203 that the partnership was at last broken. Killick did very little, but when Mr. Goldie came in the bowlers had a warm time of it, the younger batsman making runs at a great pace, and giving the most brilliant example of forcing play. He reached his hundied in sixty-five minutes and then slowed dow n; his innings included nineteen 4’s. Tli* partnership was dissolved at 440, Mr. Fry being then not out for 241, which had taken him five hours. No fault could be found with his cricket; he began slowly, but as soon as he had established a command over the bowling he played his usual brilliant game. When stumps were drawn the total was 476 for four wickets. Yesterday the t red bowlers could make no impres­ sion on i anjitsinhji, and the innings was closed at twenty minutes to one. Cambridge did not make a fight, but Mr. Day played a magnificent innings. C am bridge U n iv e r sity . First innings. E. R. Wilson, c Smith,bTate 6 L V.

On account of rheumatism Mr MacLaren was absent from the Lancashire team, Mold coming in again. For Gloucestershire Mr. Townsend and Mr. W . S. A. Brown made their reappearance, having finished their examinations. It cannot be said tbat the batting«f Lancashire was exciting in the first inninar?, for although most of the team did pretty well, the chief scorers were a very long time in playing Themselves in. Ward was batting for twenty minutes tefore he scored, and in that time gave a chance : altogether he was at the wickets for two hour" and five minutes for his 48. Holland was even longer before he began to (•core, and it was not until he had been in for three- quarters of an hour that he made his first run. Nevertheless during his partnership with Ward, 84 runs were made in an hour and a half. Hallows played a very steady game, and was batting for two hours for hia thirty nine. At the end of the innings Mold broke through the gloominess of the proceedings, and hit up 21 in a short time. A t tbe end of the day Lancashire had scored 219 for nine wickets. On Tuesday Mold and Hallows added 22 before the innings came to an end. The Gloucestershire wickets began to fall fast, but the situation was saved by some resolute batting by Huggins and Roberts for the ninth wicket. When stumps were drawn Lancashire had scored 152 for four wickets in their second innings, and was thus 222 runs on. Tyldesley had played an excellent game. Yesterday Mr. Hartley, who was not out 31 overnight, rapidly increased his total, and securing most efficient help from Mold for the last wicket, was enabled to complete his hundred. This wicket put on 101 runs in an hour. Gloucester­ shire had to play for a draw, but they were over­ weighted, and although Mr. Jessop played a short and brilliant innings, in which he made three 6 ’s, and Wrathall and Mr. Brown did nobly, Lancashire won easily enough.

After play had been in progress for twenty minutes there was a heavy shower which prevented the game from being resumed until four o’clock. The bowling could not be trifled with, and everybody found great difficulty in making runs. All the first five wi-kets fell to Geeson, four o f them owing to the cleverue.-w of Whiteside at the wicket Mr. McOahey p'ayed the best innings of the day. When stumps were drawn E sex had scored 154 for the loss of e'ght wickets. On Tuesday morning they increased the lotil by 29, and on the whole seemed to have set Leicestershire a difficult task. But Mr. W ood and Knight put up sixty without being separated, and at this stage of the g tme Leicestershire had a reasonable chance of scoring a victory. But in a few minutes two wickets were down, aod Young and Mead soon accounted for the rest. With a lead of 61, Essex on a pitch which was wearing a little played steady cricket, but did not do very well until Mr. Garrett and Mr Kortright played a much faster game. As things turned out it was the fine batting of these two men that enabled Essex to win. Leicestershire had to make 203. Their innings was chiefly remarkable for the defence of Whitehead, who kept up his wicket for an hour and twenty minutes. E sse x . First innings. H. G.
