2 2 8 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 26 , 1902. THE AUSTRALIANS. THE DERBYSHIRE MATCH. ( fourteenth o r the tou r .) Played at Derby on June 19, 20 and 21. Australians won by eight -wickets. The Derbyshire men have never yet succeeded in beating an Australian team. Twelve matches have now been played, of which the Australians have won ten, the 'other two being drawn. There seemed no reasonable chance that this year the county would f ain a victory, and as thiDgs turned out, they had to at in their second innings on a wicket ruined by rain, so that their severe defeat was not to be won­ dered at. It is, moreover, a question whether they gained much by winning the toss. The Australians had much the best of the first day’ s play, for against a total of 152, they had scored 156 for the loss of only four wickets. For once Trumper failed to do himself justice, while Hill and Gregory made but one run each. But this defection of the three great batsmen mattered very little, for in Darling and Hopkins The Australians found two men who could do all that was necessary, the latter being not out 68 at the close of the day, while Darling played one of his most attractive innings. The partnership between the two men produced 113 rues in seventy minutes. Some exceedingly pood batting was shown on the Derby­ shire side by Storerand A. E. Lawton,the lattermaking light of all the bowling brought against him, and scoring his 50 out of 67 for the fifth wicket in forty minutes. Up to the lime of his dismissal, things did not look at all badly for Derbyshire, for on a not easy wicket thev had scored 132 with half their wickets in hand, but Howell was then put on, and brought about a remarkable breakdown, the rest of the side being out in ten more overs for an additional 20 runp, Howell securir g four of the wickets for 8 runp. On Friday tb ere was no play. The result of the heavy rain which fell was that batsmen were placed at a great disadvantage on the next day. "While the wicket was at its be6t Armstrong and Duff made some runs, but the Australian innings was soon over, and when Derbyshire went in a second time their prospects of making a fight were very small indeed. Trumble and Saunders bowled unchanged through the innings, >n the course of which Lawton, L. G. W right andC. A. Ollivit re showed some gocd batting. D ebbyehibe . First innings. Second innings. L.

Less fortunate in their bowlers than Sussex, the Essex men did i ot derive the same benefit from making a big score before the rain came, and sending their opponents in to bat on a difficult wicket. They did exceedirgly well on Thursday last, running up a total of 333 for nine wickets. This was the result of good and sound batting nearly all through the team, Carpenter and H. G. OweD, who each made a duck’s egg, being the ODly men who failed to score double figures. The best cricket of the day was that shown by Perrin, whose all-round cricket was excellent, but especially attractive was the display of T. Russell and Reeves, who, when the Lancashire bowling had lost some of its sting, treated it very roughly. McGahey was in for three hours and forty minutes, scoring 68 out of a total of 155 while he was at the wickets. Sewell made a useful score after he had very carefully played himself in. No cricket took place on Friday, Naturally on the next morning Essex declared, leaving Lancashire nothing to do but play for a drawn game. Possibly, if Tyldesley had not been missed nearly at the beginning of his innings, Essex might have succeeded in getting their opponents out twice. A 8 it was, Tyldesley played an invaluable innings for his side, and as he received much assistance from E. E. Steel at a somewhat critical time, the innings was not concluded until four o’clock. In the follow on, Tyldesley again played a great game, and when he was joined by Hallows, all danger of defeat was averted. E ssex . F. L . Fane, b Cuttell.. 37 Carpenter, b Barnes ... 0 P.

SOMERSET­ SHIRE. Played at Worcester on June 19, 20 and 21. Drawn. Fortune has decidedly ranged herelf on the side of Somerset this season, and if the county is beaten in every other match it will have done enough for glory by its defeat of Yorkshire and Lancashire. But to the successful everything turns out for good, and so Somerset, after having much the worst of the game against Worcestershire, were enabled, thanks chiefly to the rain, not only to avoid defeat but to bring about a drawn game in their own favour. On the first day Worcestershire scored 182 for seven wickets against 156 by Somerset, Bowley playing a fine innings, and being well backed up by Pearson, Corden and H. K . Foster, of whom the latter was not out ‘/9 at the close of the day. On the Somerset side Robson played a great game for 81, made in an hour and fifty minutes. Up to a certai » poinf, Somerset did well on a difficult wicket, but the last five men were only able to increase the score by 14, three of them falling in an over to W ilson. There was no play on Friday. H. K. Foster played well on Saturday morning, but the tail did little. Neverthe­ less, Worcestershire had a lead of 69. although this was almost knocked off before the fir»t Somerset wicket fell in the second innings, 1.. C. H. Palairet and Brauid puiting up 57. Palairet cjntinued to p'ay a sp.eudid game, and suru\eJ for two hours and five minutes. 11anks chi. fly to him and Braund V* orcestershire had to make li2 to win in a little less than an hour and a-half. They started badly 1y losing tw •wickets for four, 1ut in their effort to make a draw they were very considerably aided by mistakes in the field which gave Wheldon a life twice in his innings of 15. Four men were out for 28 at twenty minutes past five, but a fine start was then made by Simpson-nay ward and the game was saved. S omerset . Fitst innir gs. Second innings. L. C. H.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Played at the Oval on June 19, 20 and 21. Cambridge won by 44 runp. This year the Surrey men are certainly not in the way of good luck. They had not, it is true, been I eaten in a county match up to Saturday last, but on ihe other hand they had never been able to secure a victory, and to crown their record they were beaten by both universities, which was not sati?factory, not­ withstanding that they were not playing their strong­ est team in the matches. A splendid innings for Cam­ bridge by C. H. AJ. Ebden. which gained him his blue, and another by E. M. Dowson, discounted the effective bowling of Jephson, who put himself on as fourth change and took five wickets for 29 runs, and Cambridge ended with 204, which as things have gone this season was a very useful score. Ebden and Dowson were responsible for no fewer than 149 of the 194 runs scored from the bat, and in partne^hip they put up 105 for the third wicket. Surrey went in to bat at a quarter past four and by the time that stumps were drawn they were in a sad case, for they had lost seven wickets for 98. Cricket was not entirely impossible at the Oval on Friday, and at half-paat three Surrey continued their innings. For
