Cricket 1902

J u n e 26 , 1902. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 229 the moment fortune favoured them, inasmuch as with a wet ball the bowlers were handicapped, and the remaining three wickets ir:creased the total by 66 runs, Jephson deserving well ot his Bide for his very fine innings of 50, which was put t gether by excellent all-round cricket in an hour and five minutes. "When stumps were drawn Cambridge had scored 90 for the loss of three wickets, Dowson again being not out with 43 to his credit, while Day had made a good 31. Cambridge were therefore 136 runs on with three wickets in hand. The bowlers on Satur­ day had much the best of matters, but though the Surrey men were glad enough to see the Cambridge wickets falling, they realised that the University had a very considerable lead and that, as the wicket was not likely to improve much, their chances o f coming out with success were not great. A most useful and vigorous 48 by R. N. R. Blaker for Cambridge was an important factor in deciding the result. Surrey had to make 226 to win with all the time after lunch at their disposal. Abel and Jephson put up 31, Holland and Abel 59 more, and then at 72 Hoi and was run out by one of those mistakes in judgment which are so unnecessary. Rain came, and it was twenty-five minutes to five when the game was resumed. Hayes and Hayward added 41 for the fourth wicket in half-an-hour. and Crawford and Hayes brought the total to 141 before the latter was bowled for an excellent 42. Thus with half the side out Surrey still required 85 runs to win. Then Dowson did some wonderfully good bowling, and soon after six o’ clock Cambridge had won. C ambridge U niversity . First innings.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played at Tonbridge on June 19 and 20. Kent won by an innings and 23 runs. Although the Tonbridge W eek was most disap­ pointing as far as the weather was concerted, Kent, after suffering an innings defeat from Lancashire, made things even by \ eating Gloucestershire in a similar manner. As far as the first day’s play was concerned Kent had a slight advantage, sc ring 1*3 for eight wickets against 134 by their opponents. Some very good cricket was shown by Wratball and W . Troup for Gloucestershire, the pair putting on 73 for the first w icket; tut afterwards only Jessop and Langdon did anything of note, the tail crumpling up 1adiy. A hundred runs were on the board for three wickets, and the side wes out for 134. For Kent Burnup and E. W. Dillon made 69 for the first wicket, and then for a time there was a sad falling off. But Mason and Huish redeemed the credit of the side when things looked bad, and so Kent had a lead o f 29 with two wickets in hand. It was not possible to begin play until four o’clock on Friday, when some very curious cricket was seen. The last two Kent wickets put on 44 runs in quick time, and Gloucestershire, with arrears of 73 runs to make up, found the wicket so much against them that they were all out before the end of the day for 50, of which Jessop claimed 33 by hard hitting, his innings including a six and five 4’s. He made all the ruts except four while he was at the wickets. G loucestbbshibe . First innings. W.Troup,cBurnup,b Blythe 28 Wrathall,c Huish,b Bradley 47 W . S. A .

No one who saw this match can have any doubt that the w aning of the toss practically decided the result, for after Sussex had had a good time on a wicket which, for the present season, was quite easy, the heavy rain on Friday damaged it so greatly that Middlesex had no earthly chance of saving them­ selves from a severe defeat. The return to form of C. B. Fry and the bowling of Tate were tLe most noticeable points in the match. During the early part of Fry’s innirgs the wicket was slow and not easy, but it, perhaps, improved a little. Fry was batting for two hours and fifty minutes for 1*22 out of 188, and from first to last his cricket was attractive and safe. Another very fine innings was played by Killick, who was at the wickets for three hours; at times, more particularly during bis partnership with Relf, when 64 runs were put on in forty minutes, he scored qu’ckly, but on the whole he was content to play a very steady game. Very good batting was also shown by Vine (who with Fry put on 133 for the first wicket), Ranjitsinhji. Relf and George Brann. There was a dramatic finish to the day’s play. Rawlin was put on with the total at 348 fcr four wickets, and dismissed the next four men for a single run. Thus when stumps were drawn Sussex had lost eifcht wickets for 35» runs. As the rain was so heavy on Friday that play was out of the question, it was pretty clear that the innings would be dosed on Saturday morning, and that Middlesex would have to fight tremendously hard to s’ avec ff defeat. It was a beautiful day when the game was resumed, with a powerful sun, » nd ihe wicket was simply made for Tate. The result was as had leen anticipated. The Middlesex men strugg’ ed bravely, but to no purpose, although if G. W . Beldam had found a partner to stay with him in the fiist innings a drawn game might posiibly have been brought about, for in the general havoc he sturdily kept up his wicktt all through the innings, waiting and waiting in vain for the man who would keep up the other end. In the second innings he was soon dismissed, and the struggle for existence was soon over. Tate I owled from the pavilion end all through both innings, and had tbe fine analysis of fifteen wickets for runs. S ussex . IV*arlow, not out Tate, b Rawlin ... .. Bean (J.), b Rawlin..

WARWICKSHIRE. Played at Edgbaston on June 19, 20 and 21. Yorkshire won by an innings and 63 runs. This match was spoiled by the weather. Warwick­ shire wen the toss lu t made little out of their advantage, if advantage it was, ai-d for a time it looked as if they would be out for a very small score indeed, for seven wickets were down for 63. But the tail worked manfully and nearly doubled the total. The batting was veiy slow indeed at first. Thanks to a fine innings of 75 by Denton, who was nrsst d when he had made 9. and good tatting i y Washington and Brown, York hire ended the dhy with a very useful lead of 62 with ha f their wickets still in hand. Washirgton was not out 38. On Friday there was no play, but on Saturday there was ample t me to tinish the match, for although the Yorkshiremen did not add greatly to their total Haigh and Rhodes proved to be bo difficult on a ru ned wioketwhen Warwickshire went in again that the who e side was out for 45. As in the first Warwickshire innings Hirst began the bowling, but was taken off after a few overs without taking a wicket. Y obkshibe .
