Cricket 1901

318 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g . 1, 19 01. yorker, found that he was as much affected by the excitement as anybody else, and observed the course of the ball with absolute dismay. On the other hand, Hunter expected something dia­ bolical for the last ball, and altogether misjudged the half volley, with the result that a bail was seen to leap in the air, and Surrey had won a memorable match. Lockwood bolted for the pavilion, but it was useless; he was seized by excited thousands, or as many of them as could lay hands on him, and borne in triumph to the pavilion, where he was immediately knighted by the King. Ever afterwards he preserved intact the mark on his flannels which had been made when he knelt to receive the accolade. Owing to the prevailing excitement, we have received the scores in such a state that we can make nothing of them. W. A. B e t t e s w o r t h . ALDER8HOT DISTRICT v.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played at Hull on July 29 and 30. Yorkshire won hy 55 runs. Possibly thinking that he had Yorkshire on toast when he won the toss and put them in first, Mr. Jessop was enlightened before the end of the day on the deceitfulnesa of wickets. For the Yorkshiremen, chiefly by very steady and painstaking cricket, ran up a fairly good score, and then proceeded to dismiss their opponents very ch eaply. The only innings which stood out prominently when Yorkshire were batting was that of Mr. Mitchell, but Lord Hawke made hi« runs by very good cricket. The Gloucester­ shire innings was only noticeable for the slurdy rais- tance offered to the Yorkshire bowlers by Mr. Kitcat, who carried his bat right through the innir gu for 18. His first three runs took him an hour and a quarter to make, but of course he was intent on keepiD g up his end, and if one or two of the hitters had come off the score might have been as large as that of York­ shire. With a lead of 116 Yorkshire had a rfew minutes’ batting and lost Tunnicliffe’s wicket for 8. On the next morniDg nothing much could be done with the Gloucestershire bowling, but Denton played a good innings, and at a critical time Lord Hawke made a most valuable 34 not out, preventing what seemed like being a big breakdown. When the innings closed Gloucestershire were left to make 239, a very big task indeed. At lunch time they had scored 30 for no wickets, and the total was 43 when the first wicket fell. Langdon and Mr. Brown were not successful, but Mr. Jessop, playing with a little less freedom than usual, made a very useful score. Meanwhile Mr. Kitcat kept steadily on, and as long as his wicket was safe there was always a chance that someone might come in and hit. But he went just before Mr. Jessop, after batting for an hour and three quartets. Afterwards Board alone did anything of note, and Yorkshire had a fairly easy victory. Rhodes in both innings bowled exceedingly well for Yorkshire, and Roberts in both innings for Glouces­ tershire. Y o rk sh ire . First innings. Second ii^nings.

Leicestershire won by 5 wickets. There is not much doubt that Notts lost the match through winning the toss, for as things turned out they had ever so much tbe worst of the wicket on the first day, and although they were doing very well in their second innings when stumps were drawn the mischief had been done. And yet no captain would have blamed Mr. Jones for not sending Leicestershire in. The following day’s cricket was chiefly remarkable for the t>uocessful bowling of King, and the fine hitting of Mr. Jones and J. Gunn. Mr. de Trafford’s excellent innings of 67 had not a little to do with the success of his side, for with the exception of Knight no one else in the team could even make a beginning against tbe Notts bowling. It was by no means a rash innings, but an exceedingly well-played one; it lasted for an hour and three-quarters. In the Notts second innings Mr. Jones and J. Guun came together after Shrewsbury and Iremonger had been dismissed with the total at five, and in three quarters of an hour they put on 9Jruns. They both took risks and both gave chances, but for all that they played excel­ lent cricket, for it was not a time to be too particular about waiting for the right ball to hit. When stumps were drawn they were 70 runs on with five wickets in hand, so that victory was not by any means out of the question. Mr. Jone-* was not out 56. Unhappily for his side his innings did not last much longer, and of the tail only Carlin made runs. Leicestershire were left to make 112 to win, and when Mr. de Trafford was out for a second fine display half the battle was over, although four more wickets fell before victory was assured. N o tts .
