Cricket 1902

398 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. S ept . 4, 1902. TH E SCARBOROUGH FESTIVAL. GENTLEMEN v. PLAYEES. Played at Scarborough onSeptember 1,2and 3. l>rawn. It was only a moderately strong team which repre­ sented the Gentlemen in this match, and their b o w liD g left something to be desired; the Players, although by no means at full strength had a formidable com­ bination. On a slow and easy wicket the Players kept in nearly all day, and when stumps were drawn the Gentlemen had lost a wicket for nine runs. It is on such occasions as these that Burnup, who as a b o w le r has had a chequered history, g e n e r a lly dis­ tinguishes himself, and the captain showed wisdom in putting him on first although the manoeuvre was not attended with success. Later in the innings Bumup came with a rush and took four wickets for very few runs. The inLiDgs of the Players was chiefly noticeable for the even scoring. No very big innings were played, but many very useful o n e s . Perhaps the best of them all was that of Tyldesley. On Tuesday, Burnup followed up his good bowling by playing a beautiful innings. He received useful assistance from Jackson, but he did by far the greater part of the scoring, and at lunch time when the total was 152 for three wickets he was not out 99. Burnup had only just made his hundred when he was caught at the wicket after batting for two hours and a half. His 102 runs were made out of a total of 168. Foster made a few runs, but it looked as if no one would be able to stay long with T. L. Taylor until Ernest Smith came in and began his finest innings of the season. He made some beautiful hits, and although he was only in for an hour, his own score came to 76, while during the partnership 129 runs were put on. Smith’s innings included thirteen 4’s. Before another run had been made after his dismissal, Taylor was caught at mid-off for a splendid 102, which had taken him two hours and three quarters to compile. When the innings came to an end the Gentlemen had a lead of 49 runs. Rhodes took half the wickets for 71 runs. In the half hour which remained, the Players lost a wicket for 34. Yesterday the wind was so strong that the Press tent was blown down, and no bails could be used. Brown and Tyldesley put on 104 runs for the second wicket, and Denton and Carpenter p ayed finely. A t a quarter to four the innii gs was closed, and the Gentlemen were left to make 220. Foster and Burnup played good cricket, and the match was drawn. P l a y e r s . First innings.

SU.RREY v. LEICESTERSHIRE. Played at the Oval on September 1, 2 and 3. Drawn. Owing to the heavy rains there was no possibility of beginning play in this match on Monday, and although on Tuesday some progress was ma ie with it, the game was played under the most cheerless con­ ditions. Leicestershire had the good fortune to win the toss on a soft and not difficult wicket, and made a fairly good score. De Trafford, who went in first, hit very hard, and all round the batting was very attractive before lunch. Joyce played an excellent innings, but the side was not doing at all well when Knight and Whitehead came together, and made a prolonged stand. A t lunch time the total was 148 for four wickets. Afterwards no one except Knightmade a long st ly at the wicket, but he played a great game. Surrey only had a few minutes batting when rain fell and there was no more play. Yesterday the wicket helped the bowlers and Surrey did not do well, although Crawford made 32 in half-an-hour. The innings ended soon after luncheon, 58 behind. With the idea of winning if possible the Leicestershire men made runs quickly, de Trafford scoring 22 out of the first 29, and when the hundred went up the game had ooly been in progress for an hour and a quarter. At half-pa9t four the innings was closed, and Surrey had nothing to do but to play out time as there was no possibility of making the 174 runs required in an hour and a quarter. Abel made 30 not out, and thus for the eighth season in succession brought his total to over two thousand runs. L e ic e s t e r s h ir e . First innings. Second innings. C.

Australians won by an innings and 47 runs. In the absence c.f Rhodes, Hirst, Haigh, Shrews­ bury, Abel, etc., etc., the team which opposed the Australians at Harrogate, could hardly be considered representative of the Players. Still it was a useful side, although it did not give a very good account of itself. A heavy dew, following on recent rains had made the wicket so soft that the game was not begun until a little after half-past twelve. The Players soon lost two wickets for 27, but Devey and Quaife then settled down to wear the Australians out, and might possibly have succeeded in doing this if Quaife had not run his partner out. Devey had played very well. This little accident seemed to dishearten the Players, and half the team were out for 93, when Quaife, who was still going calmly on without undue haste, was joined by Killick, and the best partnership of the innings followed. The two men raised the total to 165, but the tail then collapsed. The Aus­ tralians had half an hour to bat, and instead of adopting the cautious tactics usually seen when an English team has to play out time under similar circumstances, Trumper proceeded to hit the bowling to various parts of the field, and when stumps were drawn he was not out 41, and Duff not out 15. Total 59 for no wicket. It was beautifully fine when the game was resumed on Tuesday, and Trumper soon got going again, but Duff, after being missed in the slips off Tate, was 1-b-w. in the next over. Hill was just getting comfortably settled when he ran out and was stumped, the ball rebounding off the wicket­ keeper’s pads. Darling then came in and played a fine innings. Meanwhile Trumper was finding opportunities for scoring off almost every other ball, and was completely master of the situation; but at last he jumped out, missed the ball and was stumped. He had been batting an hour and thirtv-five minutes for his brilliant innings of 127, his tenth hundred of the tour. At lunch time the total was 257 for four wickets. Afterwards Darling and Hopkins played finely, the former hitting a six and nine fours in his irnings of 67, and the latter showing very great patience. The Players had to go in against a balance of 175, and after two wickets had fallen in a very bad light for 8, play ceased for half-an-hour. Yine and Quaife then played out time, the former batting very well indeed for his 26, and Quaife keeping up his wicket for three quarters of an hour for 3. Yesterday it was so windy that the bails were con­ stantly blowing off. The Players could do very little against the bowling, and were badly beaten. P l a y e r s o f E n g l a n d X I.
