A ug . 7, 19 02. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 333 LANCASHIRE v. YORKSHIRE. ALBERT WARD’ S BENEFIT MATCH. Played at Old Trafford on August 4, 5 and 6. Abandoned. In the absence o f L ord Hawke, on account o f the injury to his thum b in the Surrey match, a place w ai found in the Yorkshire team for Ernest Smith. On a slow w icket the Lancashire men kept in nearly all day, scoring at times very slowly indeed, Even Tyldesley did not seem to be able to make any headway, his first half-a-dozen runs taking him half- an-hour to com pile, while fo r his total o f 24 he was at the wickets for about an hour and ten minutes. A great gam e was played by M acLaren. But by far the m ost pleasant cricket o f the day to watch was the stand m ade by E. E . Steel and Sharp for the seventh w ick et; it was responsible for 76 runs in an hour and ten minutes. H aigh bow led well, but H irst was again unsuccessful. Yorkshire had to go in for half- an-hour and scored 31 runs for the loss o f Brown, w ho was bow led just before tim e by E. E. Steel. During the day over 24,000 people paid for adm ission. It was not until the partnership between Tunnicliffe and the new comm er, W ashington, had realised 100 runs that the next w icket fell, W ashington being caught at point. Tunnicliffe only lasted a few m inutes longer, but then there was another almost equally long partnership between Taylor and Jackson; this accounted for 105 runs. A third long partner­ ship was that between D enton and Jackson, and gradually the Yorkshirem en left their opponents’ score behind, until when Jackson was out for a splendid 82, the total was 321 for five wickets. W hat had gone before was as nothing to what follow ed, for Denton and Hirst knocked the worn out bowling all over the field, scoriog with such rapidity that in a little m ore than an hour and a-half they increased the total by 178, and were still together w hen stumps were drawn. Yorkshire had now an imm ense advan­ tage, but they were not able to m ake use of it, as there was so much rain yeste day that the game was abandoned. L ancashire . A . C. Maclaren, st H . G.

The cricket on the first day o f this m atch was spoiled b y a heavy storm a little before lunch, and as this follow ed rain on the previous night aiid in the early m orning, and was itself follow ed by another heavy storm , there was nothing to do but abandon the gam e for the day. Burnup and C. H . B. M arsham played very good cricket w hile they were together, putting on 58 for the second wicket. 'Jhe total so far was 105 for tw o wickets. There was a lot of rain during the night at Canterbury. On Tuesday the K ent m en one after the other each made bt tween tw enty and thirty runs until Huish broke the sequence w ith a nine. Essex h a i to go in against a total w hich for a soft w icket was considerable, but they m ade a fine com m encem ent w ith Lucas and Fane, w ho put up 81 for the first w icket. Afterw ards Perrin join ed Fane and the bow ling was collared. A t 182 the partnership was broken, Fane just missing his hundred; he had played a fine gam e. Perrin and M cGahey seemed likely to p ay out tim e, but in the last few m inutes Blythe got rid o f Perrin and Y oun g. Essex were now 62 runs behind with six wickets in hai d. Yesterday no play was possible until half-past tw o, when K ortright and M cGahey added 83 runs, and eventually Essex had a lead o f 58. K ent had just tim e to wipe off the balance when play ended.

W . 2 23 0 SUSSEX y. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played at Bristol on August 4, 5 and 6. Drawn. A lthough the names o f Fry and Ranjitsinhji are not quite as potent for attraction as they were last year the absence of the tw o great Sussex cricketers was very disappointing to Gloucestershire people, who. however unsuccessful their side m ay have ceen o f late, are anxious to find the strongest tide possible brought against ihem . So well did t ie Gloucestershire inniDgs commence on M onday that when the first wicket fell the score was 2 6 runs, and o f this number C. L . Townsend, w ho m ade his reappearance in the team, after sco ing heavily in a local m atch or two, was responsible for no fewer than 147; he was first out after batting for three hours and ten minutes. R ice soon follow ed him for a particularly st ady innings o f 50, which lasted for three hours and a quarter. Jess >p failed to com e off, but Langdon was in great form , and a large score seemed certain. But the tail collapsed badly against Collins, Cox and Relf. Still the total was 310. Sussex had to bat for an over, and although they scored nothing they lost no wicket. On Tuesday morning Butt showed his appreciation of beng sent in first b y m aking an excellent 64 in an hour, and although Tate did not follow his exam ple Vine did well, and at one time only three wickets were dow n for 142. A little later seven had fallen for 157, and things looked bad. But Brann and Hey­ gate, and later C. L . A . Sm ith quite altered the appearance of the game, the tw o latter increasing the total by 78 duiing their partnership. The result of their fine play was that Sussex had a useful lead of 40, and before this w ai wiped off by Gloucestershire five m en were out, including Jessop, Townsend and Rice. Langdon and Board made things look better, but w hen play ended for the day Gloucestershire were only 33 on w ith four wickets in hand. Play was delayed yesterday by rain until a quarter to three. The Gloucestershire innings ended at four o’ clock and Sussex had to make 98 to win. Runs were difficult to get and the finish m ight have been exciting if rain tiad not interfered.
