Cricket 1903

188 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 4, 1903. WARWICKSHIRE v. WORCESTER­ SHIRE. Played at Worcester on June 1, 2 and 3. Worcestershire won by three wickets. It would be difficult to account for the rapid down­ fall of the wickets on Monday in this match, for apparently there was not much the matter with the wickets. But until the Warwickshire second innings the bowlers always had the upper hand. Lilley played a good innings for Warwickshire, and for Worcestershire R. B. Foster and H. K. Foster put on 72 in partnership, while Isaac played a very useful not out innings. When Warwickshire went in against a balance of 64, T. 8. Fishwick and Kinteir D red so well that before stumps were drawn they knocked off 61 of the runs. Thus on Tuesday the sides began practically level. But the partner­ ship was soon broken, and although Quaife played a very good game indeed Warwickshire did not seem to be doing very well. But Charlesworth and Lilley came to the rescue of their aide, and in the end the total was satisfactory. With 208 to win, Worcester­ shire put up 114 for three wickets before stumps were drawn, so that their prospects of ultimate success were excellent. Warwickshire made a firet-class fight yesterday, but Worcestershire were equal to the occasion. W abwigkbhibe . First innings. Devey, b A rn o ld ................. Kinnier.c R.Foster, b Keene J. F.

LANCASHIRE v. YORKSHIRE. Played at Old Trafford on June 1, 2 and 3. Drawn. For nearly the whole of the first day the Yorkshire- men were at the wickets, enjoying the advantages of batting on a good pitch, but although they ended the innings with a toted of 360, they were a hundred runs short of this when the last two men, Lord Hawke and Whitehead, came together. Brown, Tunnicliffe, Denton and Hint had all played well, but a break­ down bad followed, and things were certainly not looking at all well when the last wicket partnership began. But btth Lord Hawke and Whitehead hi", hard and often, and before they were parted they had increased the score by 108 runs in about an hour. Before stumps «ere driwn, Lancashire had made 45 for the loss of H. G. Garnett. A good but tedious stand on Tuesday morning by A. C. Maclaren and Tyldesley made the prospects of Lancashire look well. But with the last ball before lunch, Tyldesley was bowled, and the bowlers afterwards carried every­ thing before them until the last wicket, when Brearley hit out. Jackson bowled very finely after lunch. With about two hours before them, Yorkshire bei?an very badly by losing Tunuicliffe, Brown and Hirst for 40 in less than three-quarters of an hour. But then Denton was missed no fewer than three times off Brearley, and he and Jackson (who was also missed) put on 92 in an hour and ten minutes. When stumps were drawn, the total was 137 for four wickets, Den­ ton being not out 63. Yesterday morning, Brearley, undismayed by his bad luck, bowled splendidly, taking five of the remaining wickets for 32 runs. Lancashire had to make 346 to win in four hours aud a-half, and thanks to brilliant batting to Garnett, who quite played up to his old reputation, and Tyldesley, the game was drawn decidedly in their favour.

SUSSEX. Played at Brighton on June 1, 2 and 3. Drawn. AN INNINGS OF 286 BY O . L . JESSOr. Anythirg is possible when once G. L Jessop gets going, and it does not for a moment imply that-when he makes a great scire the side opposed to him is weak in bowling. On Monday he was seen at his best. He went in third wicket down, and a short time afterwards half the side were out for 129. Then he was joined by Board, and the bowliog was absolutely collared. Jessop made his first fifty in half an hour, his first hundred in an hour and ten minutes, his second hundred in two hours, and his 286 in a few minutes less than three hours. His innings, which is quite beyond the powers of descrip­ tion, included forty-one 4’s. Meanwhi e Board bad been steadily keeping up his wicket, and was still going strong when his partner went. The two men had increased ihe score by 320. When stumps viere drawn the total was 480for nine wickets. Sussex had a bad time on Tuesday, for rain stopped play until one o’clock, and although Fry played a brilliant innings, and with Vine put up 120 in an hour and a-half, the Gloucestershire men were always masters of the fituation, aud when stumps were drawn only 202 runs had been scored for nine wickets. Yesterday the last two men made a most determined stand, but they could not save the follow on. Marlow’s innings was worthy of the highest praise. When Sussex went in ag lin they met at once with two very serious disasters, for in the first over Fry was bowled by aball at which hedidnot play, and in the next over Vine was 1-b-w. Fortunately for Sussex it was one of fcanjitsinbji’s days, and with Killick to help him, he very soon put a bett-r appetrance on the game. Killick stayed for an hour and a-quarter, and Relf came in to carry on the good work. Time went on, and still Ranjitsinbji played beautiful cricket, and found a most valuable partner in Relf. Eventually Ranjitsinbji carried his bat, and the match was saved. GLOUCBBTEBSHIRE. 8. A. P. Kitcat, b Cox 36 W r.tball, c Butt,b Relf 0 Hale, c Marlow, b Vine 42 Langdon, c and b Cox 13 G. L.

As their match with Surrey at the Oval had to be abandoned owing to rain, Hampshire practically began their first-class season with this match. On the first day they gave an excellent account of them­ selves, thanks almost entirely to fine cricket by Llew­ ellyn and E. I. M. Barrett, who in the course of a partnership which lasted for two hours and a quarter, put on 231 runs for the fifth wicket. Most of the other batsmen found some difficulty in playing Hulme, who had an excellent analysis. But if the Hampshire men gave a good account of themselves on Monday,Derbyshire had no reason to be dissatisfied with their position at the end of the day, for against a total of 355they had put up 87 for the loss of C. A Ollivierre (L. G. Wright, not out, 60 and Storer, not out, 21). But the good beginning made by Derbyshire was hardly continued on the next day, and after Storer and L. G. Wright had been disposel of only Lawton and Hulme could offer much resistince to the bowling of ('hignell. Hampshire thus had a very useful lead and did well enough in their second innings after two wickets had fallen for 14. For E. M. Sprot and A- J. L. Hill defied the bowlers for a couple of hours, during which they put on 200runs and thus gave Hampshire a very long lead. Sprot juat missed his hundred, but when stumps were drawn Hill was not out 98. Yesterday he again played fine cricket. Derbyshire had to make 405, but did very badly, and by four o’clock Hampshire
