196 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 12, 1902. THE AUSTRALIANS. THE LANCASHIRE MATCH. ( ten th of th e t o f r .) Played at Old Trafford on June 5, 6 and 7. Abandoned. After their disastrous match against Yorkshire, the Australians found themselves on a slow but fairly easy wicket on Thursday last at Old Trafford, and if any of the Lancashire men were under the impression that their visitors had become demoralized, they were soon undeceived. For after Duff had been disposed of with the total at 30, Hill and Trumper remained together until the pcore was 1C9, when the latter was caught at short slip after a really beautiful innirgs. He was never in any difficulties with the bowling ; he made his runs at about the rate of one a minute; and his almost every stroke was that of a great batsman. Clement Hill did not settle down for some time, and on the whcle his innings was not one of his best, notwithstanding that it had many good points about it. Gregory was not comfortable, nor was Darling, the latter being at the wickets for half an hour for his nine runs, and showirg little of his usual mastery over the howling. But at this period of the pame the bowling was at its best, and the wicket at its worst, and perhaps if Lancashire could have got down another wicket just then, the innings m ght have closed somewhat abruptly. There di 1 not seem much likelihool that many more rurs would be made, but when Armstrong and Hopkins had begun to feel their way, the batsmen had the best of the situation. The bowling became loose, and the fielding fell' off considerably. Armstrong and Hopkins in­ creased the total by 46 in ha’ f an hour, the latter scoring about three fourths of the runs. Then followed the most productive partnership of the day. Kelly came in to join Armstrong, and although he was very uncomfortable at first, he soon began to make headway, and the bowling was completely collared. In an hour and three quarters the two men increased the total by 131 runs, and placed their s de in an almost impregnable position. "When stumps were drawn, the total W8s 356 for seven wickets. Unfortunately, owing to the heavy rain, no more cricket was possible, and at half-past twelve on Saturday it was decided to abandon the match. A ustralians . Y .

YORKSHIRE. storer ’ s be n efit m a t c h . Played at Chesterfield on June 5, 6 and 7. Abandoned. Unfortunately for Storer, the weather was greatly against his prospects, but as cricket was possible on the first two days, and a fairly large crowd assembled, he will not sufftr as much as seemed likely. The Derbyshire captain won the toss, but preferred to send Yorkshire ia, with the result that in three quarters of an hour four wickets were down for 22 runs. But the success of the Derbyshire bowlers ended here fo* the time being, for Washington joined Tunnieliffe, and before the partnership was broken the total had been increased by 73 runs. Washington p’ayed a splendid innings for an hour and twenty minutes, and his 80 runs were obtained by first-class all-round batting. Except for his play, and that of Tunnicliffe, the Yorkshire innings was not at all interesting. Against Haigh and Hirst, the Derby­ shire men could make very little resistance, and their innings ended £6 behind that o f Yorkshire. When stumps were drawn, the Yorkshiremen had scored 28 in their second innings without loss, Brown being not out, 20. On Friday T. L. Taylor played a splendid innings. He was batting for three hours and a half for his 142, which included fifteen fours. The majority of his runs were made by skilful play on the leg side. Denton and Haigh made useful totals, and the result was that Derbyshire had to score 396 to wio. A bad commencement was made, three wickets falling for 20 runs, but as there was only a few minutes’ play on Saturday, they escaped defeat. Y orkshire . First innings.

On a very difficult wicket considerable progress was made with this match on the first day, each aide completing an innings. From first to last the bowlers had the upper hand, but only three o f them did a performance o f any note. But each of these three men had a remarkable analysis, Santall taking six wickets for 11 runs, Reeves five for 19 and McGahey three for 15. Two batsmen, Perrin and Devey, greatly d;stinguished themselves. The for­ mer, in partnership with McGahey, put on 60 for the third Essex wicket, and played a very sound and careful game for ninety minutes in all. Devey also played a careful game, occasionally making a bier h it; he was at the wickets for about two hours and three-quarters. There was no play at Leyton on Friday, but on Saturday the game was resumed, although it was only possible to play for a fe v minutes at a time, at d eventually at a little past four it was decided to abandon the match.

Played at Leicester on June 5, 6 and 7. Abandoned. A t lunch time on Saturday Sussex seemed to have a vety considerable chance of winning the.match, for, with a lead of 66 on the first innings, they had dis­ posed of four o f the beat Leicestershire men for 23 runs. After lunch another wicket f 11at 37, and the outlook seemed hopeless for the home team. But Dr. Macdonald and Whitehead were still to be reckoned wi h, and they put up 47 in partnership. For the rest of the innings Dr. Macdonald kept up his end with determination. He received a good deal of help from the tail, while rain came at a convenient time for his side. The result was that Leicestershire were able to make a very honourable draw. Tate bowled with marked success for Sussex on the first day of the match, during which Leicestershire scored 179, and dismipeed Fry and Vine for 69. A t one time it looked as if Leicestershire would be out for less than a hundred, for six wickets were down for 71 runs, but Dr. Macdonald, who was making his first appearance of the season, kept up his wicket for two mortal hours and ten minutes for 26, while Odell played the highest innings of his career, and Wood­ cock hit hard. There was only a couple of hours’ cricket on Fiiday. Banjitsinhji failed, but Relf was in splendid form, and thanks chiefly to him, the Leicestershire total was passed by 26 runs when play ended, and two wickets were still in hand. L eicestershire .
