A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 168, UPPER THAMES S TR EET, L0 ID 0 I, E.C . THURSDAY, JUNE 12 th , 1902. $a\riiton Gossip. The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet . THOMAS C. JE N K IN , Q k x ib a l M anaqkb. T he weather at the end of last week went from bad to worse, and on Friday and Saturday hardly any first class cricket was possible. On Friday there was no play at Lord’s, Manchester. Worcester, Oxford, Leyton or Cam­ bridge, while at Leicester the game was played in discomfort for a couple of hours; only at Chesterfield was anything like a full day’s cricket possible, and even here no play took place until a quarter-to-one. On Saturday not a ball was bowled at Manchester, Lord’s or Worcester, while there was only a few minutes’ play at Chesterfield, Leyton and Oxford. At Leicester and Cambridge cricket was played under difficulties for an hour or two. E ight first class matches were played on the last,three days of last week. They were all abandoned. T he advantage to a side of having a batsman who can keep his end up without regard for runs, in a time of urgent need, has seldom been more plainly shown than it was on Saturday last at Leicester, where the home team would almost assuredly have been beaten by Sussex but for the obstinate play of Dr. R. Macdonald. Sussex had a lead on the first innings of 56, and Leicestershire had lost fourwickets for 23 at lunch time. Another wicket fell at 37, but Dr. Macdonald kept on the even tenour of his way, and gradually his side, assisted also by rain and a stand by the last two men, were placed out of danger. I n the first and only day’splay between Middlesex and Notts, each side ex­ perienced the vicissitudes of fortune in a very marked manner. Middlesex, who had been sent in first, had scored 146 runs for four wickets, when a change in the bowling had an astonishing effect, Anthony taking five wickets tor seven runs. In the Notts innings, two wickets only had fallen when 94 went up, tut not long after, when stumps were drawn, the total was only 134, and seven wickets were down. Albert Trott’s bowling was the chief cause for this. Fkom the Sydney Referee :— W. H. Gregson, the ’Varsity batsman, put up a rather unique performance on Saturday against Sydney II. In compiling his score ot 14 not out, he was at the wickets for two hours 40 minutes. When the state of the wicket is taken into consideration, Gregson’s performance is the more remarkui le. lt is safe to say that the performance is not likely to be equalled for many a day in any class of cricket.
