S ept . 19, 1901. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 423 Y O R K S H I R E v. R E S T O F E N G L A N D . MATCH FOR THE W . YARDLEY BENEFIT FUND. P layed at L o rd ’s on Sept. 12, 13 and 14. R est of E n glan d w on b y an inniDgs and 115 runs. T h is m atch was played in typ ical Septem ­ ber weather, and it was on ly natural th at the crow d w as not very large, for, although it m ay be pleasant enough for the batsmen and th e field, the ordinary spectator finds him self a little too cool to be com fortable. H ence m any people w ho w ould have been glad to help tow ards the fund w h ich is being raised for the fam ily o f the late M r. W . Y ard ley, w ho was second only to D r. W . G . G race as a batsm an, kept aw ay, and probably forgot to send a subscription. T h e chances are that if the Y orkshirem en had w on the toss they w ould have come out of the m atch w ith great credit to th em selves; as it was th ey were quite outplayed. T h e R est of E ngland team w as v e ry strong in battin g, and not b y any m eans w eak in bow ling, and from the very first it held the upper hand. A p retty good begin n in g was made b y M r. Jones and M r. W arn er, who put up 89 fo r the first w icket, M r. Jones p layin g a brillian t gam e and doing nearly all the scoring. T h e total was 107 when M r. W arn er was dismissed, and he had on ly scored 29 of them b y the most patien t cricket. M r. F r y , w ith M r. Beldam as a p artn er, m ust have fe lt alm ost as if he w ere p layin g for Sussex, w ith V in e at the other end, and he steadily started on the course w hich was to end in his gettin g his sixth, hundred in successive innings. The two^ m en put on 94 in an hour and fifty m inutes, when M r. Beldam , who had played a m ost valuable innings, retired. H e had helped considerably tow ards pavin g the w ay for what was to follow w hen M r. Jessop came in . A t this tim e M r. F ry ’s score was 48, but the great Gloucestershire hitter goon le ft this behind, and after he had been in for fifty-five m inutes his score was 79, w hile M r. F ry , who had been in for tw o hours and a h alf, had made 78. A fte r b attin g for nearly three hours M r. F r y had the great satisfaction of reaching his hundred, and of leavin g all previous records for consecutive innings far behind. H e was out v e ry soon afterw ards for 105, an innings w hich was quite w orth y of him self. T h e partnership produced 204 runs. M eanw hile M r. Jessop w as doing ju st as he liked w ith the famous Y o rksh ire bowlers, whose reputations were receivin g the hardest of knocks, and when stumps were drawn w ith the total at 460 for five w ickets, he was w ithin 24 runs of his second hundred, and w as still not o u t; he had on ly been at the w ickets a couple of hours. W hen he w ent in the total was 201 for three w ickets, so th at he made his runs out of 259. On the second m orning H irst’s sw erve came into evidence, and the innings was soon over, nobody bu t M r. Jessop being able to m ake an yth in g of him at all. B ut M r. Jessop still w ent on his couise, treating all the bow lin g alike, and it was not until he had com pletely beaten his own record of 179 against Sussex at B righ to n last year, that he was at last dismissed, after battin g altogether for tw o hours and a h alf. H e scored his 233 out of 318, a rem arkable proportion, w hich has w ithout m uch doubt never been equalled in such a b ig innings. F or the rest of the d ay Y orksh ire w ere figh tin g w ithout m aking m uch headw ay, and w hen stumps w ere drawn th ey had completed an innings of 229, and w ith tw o w ickets down in their second innings for 15 w ere still 282 runs behind. Several members of the team batted w ell, but th ey have not had much experience in figh t­ in g to m ake a draw . T h e stand of the innings was made b y H irst and M r. Ernest S m ith ; it produced 58 runs in fifty m inutes. T h e form er was hardly seen at his best, but the latter played a great gam e. T ro tt was in great form w ith the ball. On Saturday T rott was even more effective than before, and although Brow n, M r. E rnest Sm ith and W ain w righ t made a splendid effort to save the gam e, the innings w as over soon after lunch.
