Cricket 1901

J u ly 25, 1901. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OE THE GAME. 295 S U R R E Y v. W O R C E S T E R S H IR E . P layed at W o rce ste r on J u ly 18, 19 and 20. Surrey w on b y 47 runs. This was a particularly interesting match from first to last, ana no one would have been surprised if Worcestershire had managed to pull it off. Bay- ward was not included in the Surrey team, being: given a rest after a lot of hard work. Surrey did very well on the first day up to a certain period, and then suddenly broke down so badly that the total of the innings was hardly enough to promise victory. Mr. Jephson played an admirable innings, putting on 67 for the first wicket with Abel and 87 with Bayes. When the last over before luncheon was commenced the total was 164 for one wicket, and at this time Surrey seemed likely to make a very big score. But in this over Hayes was caught in the slips, and almost immediately after lunch Mr. Jephson was out. Then Lockwood fell, and four wickets were down for 187. Half the side were out at 209 and then began a sad breakdown, W ilson doing the hat trick and the last five men only raising 10 runs between them. W or­ cestershire began very badly, losing three wickets for 17 and four for 66, but when Mr. R. E. Foster and Mr. Simpson-Hayward got together the Surrey bowlers met with no more success until stumps were drawn, when the total was 179 for four wickets—a winning position for Worcestershire, who were only 40 runs behind with six wickets in hand. On the follow ini? morning 3C of these runs were knocked off before Mr. Foster was out for a splendid innings of 135, having put on 143 runs in partnership with Mr. Simpson-Hayward ; his innings was without fault and was, moreover, played at a time when failure would probably have meant disaster to his side. So far, things were going well with Worcestershire, but Richardson came with almost as big a rush as had W ilson on the previous day, and after all the lead was only 44. Mr. Simpson-Hayward’s innings was played in first-class form. The Surrey second innings was only remarkable for the brilliant batting of Abel, who, while his comrades could make very little of the bowling, played an innings which for attract­ iveness could not have been surpassed by any of the quick scorers whose cricket is so delightful. Be was at the wickets for an hour and twenty-five minutes only, and was within 4 runs of his 100 when he was caught at mid-on. It was one of the finest innings he has ever played and one of the most valuable to his side, for the bowlers had the upper hand on a wicket which was wearing. Mr. Crawford also played exceedingly well. He was unfortunate in being severely hurt by a hard drive by Brockwell, from Which he could not get out of the w ay; he retired for a time but plucki’y resumed bis innings. Despite the efforts of Abel, Mr. Crawford ana Brockwell, Surrey could only set Worcestershire what seemed a pretty easy task, viz., to mabe 171 runs. But by the time that etumps were drawn four wickets had fallen for 43, and a great deal depended on what Mr. R. E. Foster did on the next morning. He played very well indeed, but did not last quite long enough, and although the tail made a plucky resistance, Surrey were always a little bit in hand. S ubrey . D. L . A.

Y O R K S H IR E v . W A R W I C K S H I R E . P layed at B radford on J u ly 18, 19 and 20. D raw n . For the second time this season Warwickshire have made the famous Yorkshiremen work hard, and possi­ bly if they bad been able to make runs more quickly they might even have had a chance of winning. But probably they were well content to make tbeir position secure against their powerful opponents, and when their innings came to an eDd there was very little chance indeed that they would be beaten. The Yorkshire bowlers, after experiencing the un- p’easant sensation of having an innings of 650 placed against them in the earlier part of the week, again found themselves opposed io men who were in no wise affected by their great reputation, and by the time that slumps were drawn they seemed pretty tired. For the greater part of the day the scoring was exceedingly slow, Kinneir and the two Quaifes being not at all disposed to hurry. Fortunately for Yorkshire the two latier were only batting fur about an hour each ; but Kinneir, never taking the slightest risk, never being in any difficulty whatever, kept going for four hours and three-quarters, and prac­ tically made his side safe from defeat. Towards the end of the day Mr. Bainbiidge and Charleswoith treated the tired Yorkshiremen to a little running about, and when stumps were drawn the total was 320 for seven wickets. Towards the end of the day Lord Bawke hurt his hand and had to retire, and Birst was also obliged to leave the field, having hurt his foot. On the next morning Charlesworth played wondeifully good cricket, and whtn the last man came in he had brought his s^ore to 99 ; tut being naturally anxious to make his hundred he vent out to Rhodes and was stumped, after playing splendid cricket for two hours and a-quarter. The Yorkshire men had a very bad time of it when they went in, and they must have had visions of an innings defeat whtn half the side were out for 66. But the tail once more proved capable of holding its own, and when stumps were drawn the score was 221 for nine wickets. Still, the position of affairs was not very hopeful. 'I he innings soon closed, and Yorkshire had the unusual experi­ ence of followirg on. W hen Tunnicliffe was out in the second over, and Denton with the total at 23, things were in a parlous state, for the Warwickshire men were naturally playing up for all they were worth. But steadily the hopes of the Warwickshire men fell, as Mr. Mitchell and Brown began to wear down the bowling, and not another wicket wss *aken for the rest of the day, although goodness knows it was not altogether the fault of the two Yorkshiremen that they were allowed to remain at the wickets until five o’eluck, whtn stumps were pulled up ; they each gave several chances, Mr. Mitchell being twice missed oirectly after he went in, and again when he had made 27, while Brown had several escapes. The partnership produced 258 runs. W a r w ic e s h ir e . Devey, st Hunter, b Rhodes ........... ... 45 Kinneir,candbBhodes 123 J. F. Byrne, b B irst... 7 Quaife (W .

D E R B Y S H I R E v . L E IC E S T E R S H IR E . P layed at Glossop on J u ly 18, 19, and 20. L eicestersh ire w on b y an inniDgs and 20 runs. It is a little trying to have to field out to innirgs of 661 and 541 (four wickets only) in 1he same week, and it was hardly surprising that Derbyshire, who bad come out of them aich with Notts *iih much credit, should have failed to make a draw against Leicestershire. After tor. de Traffoid and Knight had teen dispose d of for a few iuns. the Derbyshire bowliDg was quite mastered by Mr. W ood and K ing,1 who put cn 127 in an h< ur and thiee-quarters, and again ly King and Mr. Macdonald, who made 144 in aiout the same time. King was at the wickets for three houts and forty minutes for his veiy fine innings of 143, his highest in flr^t-class cricket. Meanwhile Dr. Macd<nad had steadily ktptonhis course, and when stumps were diawn was not out 62, while Geeson was net out 29. On the second morniDg the two not outa kept up their wickets until lunch time, when, of course, the innings wasclos d. The Doctor was batting for five hours and a quarter, and Geeson for three hours and a half. Derbyshire had to play for a draw, and at tbe end of the day they had a pc ssible chance of savirg ihemselves from defeat, for they still had thiee wickets in hand in their first innings. U i fortunately for them the wicket did not wear veiy well, and although Ihey made a fine fight of it they could not avoid defeat. W aiter Sugg made his reappearance in the teem as an amateur, and distirguithed himself in the second innings, as did Chatterton aid Mr. law ton. L eicestershire . R.
