124 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a y 7, 1903. Among the contents are a short article upon Mr. E. M. Sprot, the new captain of the team, a list of members of the County C.C., a complete record of matches played by the county last year, a list of club fixtures in Hampshire, etc., etc. Alto­ gether it is a very useful little book. P u b l is h e d at Carmelite House, E.C., th qEvening News Cricket Annual contains several amusing pen and ink sketches by 44Rip,” and is very cheap at the price of a penny. While the sketches are the chief feature of the aunual, there are many useful statistical tables in it. THE LAMENT OF THE YOKEL. To make my two runs every time Needs all my skill at cricket; However many shall I make If they enlarge the wicket ? The demon bowler opposite For two will let me snick i t ; But what on earth shall I be worth If they enlarge the wicket ? My brother batsman laughs at me— The ball, I did not pick it— But I shall have the laugh at him If they enlarge the wicket. The county clubs will get the hump, For they won’t sell a ticket On Wednesday or a Saturday If they enlarge the wicket. The game itself is good enough— There is no game to lick it— But there’ll be ructions everywhere If they enlarge the wicket. —Daily Expressf May 6th. SURREY v. WARWICKSHIRE. THE FIRST COUNTY MATCH OF THE SEASON. Played at the Oval on May 4, 5 and 6. Warwickshire won by 126 runs. There was no play at the Oval on Monday, for the heavy rain had so saturated the wicket that cricket was out of the question. The delay enabled Hargreave to take his place in the Warwickshire team; he had only arrivedin England from Australia on the previous night. On Tuesday, J. F. Byrne, the new Warwick­ shire captain, won the toss, and made a good stand with lvinneir after Devey had fallen a victim to Jackson before a run had been scored. Kinneir played a much more attractive game than usual, and once hit three fours off an over from Lees. Quaife did not make a long stay, but Charlesworth and Lilley, playing pretty cricket, carried the score to 122 for four wickets before lunch time, the former being not out 22, and the latter not out 35. Soon after play was resumed Charlesworth was missed, and the two batsmen secerned likely to gain a complete mastery over the bowling, but they separated when they had increased the total by 85 runs. The poor fielding of the Surrey team had much to answer for, and a great many catches were inissed during the innings, which, after the dismissal of Lilley, was interesting by reason of the batting of Charlesworth and Moor- house. Jackson, who met with very little luck, bowled very well indeed. Of the Surrey batting there is little to be said. The wicket was gradually becoming more and more difficult, and although Holland and llayes played excellent cricket after Hayward left, Hargreave suddenly became irresistible, taking the last six wickets in very rapid suc­ cession. With the close of the innings the day’s play ended, and there is no better tale to tell of the final stages o f the match. Rain during the night caused play to be postponed until tw enty minutes past tw o, and W ar­ wickshire declared w ith four wickets down. Surrey again fared badly against the bow ling of H argreave.

Continuous rain on Sunday, and more of it on the next morning, made cricket on the first day of this match very unpleasant. There w-as no play until three o’clock. At first the bowlers held the upper hand, and only 47 runs were made in the first hour for five wickets ; but Whittington and Whateley made things more lively and put on 42 for the next wicket. Afterwards Graham and Hunter played well, so that when stumps were drawn the total was 165 for ten wickets (twelve a-side). There was no play cither on Tuesday or yesterday. M r . B. A.
