J u n e 11, 1903. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 197 MIDDLESEX v. YORKSHIRE. y o k k s h i k e ’ s s e c o n d d e f e a t . Played at Lord’s on June 4, 5 and 6. Middlesex won by nine wickets. The good fortune which has for so long attended the Yorkshire eleven seems at last to have quite de­ serted them. In this match Hirst and Hunter were unable to play, and some of the other men were more or less crippled, so that the fielding fell off. For once the well-known ability of the tail to make up for any shortcomings on the part of the great batsmen of the team was not to the fore, and as Rhodes was absolutely ineffective with the ball, the York^hiremen were quite outplayed. They certainly did not gain much by winning the toss, for the wicket had im­ proved by the time that Middlesex went in. Up to lunch time on the first day, things went well enough, but not too well for the visitors, and at the adjourn­ ment the total was 149 for four wickets. Then came a startling charge, and the famous Yorkshire tail could do nothing against the bowling of Hearne and Tr^tt. Wicket after wicket fell with amazing rapidity, Heame’s analysis after lunch being four wickets for 2 runs, and Trott’s one wicket for 6 runs. Thus after lunch the total was hardly increased at all. When stumps were drawn, Midd esex were leading by 88 runs, and had lost five wickets. Warner and Moon put on 81 for the first wicket in an hour and a quarter, and later in the day Bosanquet and Nicholls did very well indeed, the latter beiog not out 34. On the next morninsr every man who went in greatly dis­ tinguished himself, and the Yorkshire bowling, for once, seemed quite simple. Middlesex ended the in­ nings in the satisfactory position of leading by 192 runs. It was still more than possible that Yorkshire, with so mtny fine batsmen in the team, would make a good fight, even if they could not pull the match out of the fire, but in half an hour, Denton, Tunni­ cliffe and Jackson were all out, and although Lord Hawke now came in and made a most determined effort to stay the tide of misfortune, his partnership with Brown producing 71 in an hour; the Middlesex bowlers soon got the upper h nd again. By the time that stumps were drawn the gann was almost over, for Yoiksbire, with only three wickets in hand, still required 16 runs to save the innings defeat. On Saturday Lees-Whiteh ad played fine cricket, but the position of affairs was hopeless, and Middlesex wen with the greatest ease. Y o r k sh ir e . Firs'; innings.

Lees could find no one to stop with him on Saturday, but Surrey were able to put Leicestershire in to make 296. This seemed a very difficult task, and until quite late in the day it seemed very doubtful whether Leices­ tershire would have any chance of accomplishing it. The critical part of the match was when Davis joined Knight, who was batting splendidly. At this moment Surrey had very much the best of matters, but the two batsmen put on 87 in an hour and a quarter, and Leicest rshire seemed likely to pull the match out of the fire. But Knight could not get anyone to stay with him, and Surrey thus won a most exciting match. S o rrey . First innings. 8econd innings.

SURREY. Played at Leicester on June 4, 5 and 6. Surrey won by 28 runs. This match was well fought out from beginning to end, and at no time was it possible to foretell the result with any approach to confidence. On the first day Surrey m*de 208, and got rid of six Leicester- shite men for 124. Hayward and Hayes batted well, but the best in ’ings of the day was the 61 ly Lees made in 66 minutes; while he was in partnership with Richardson f 5 veiy useful runs were put on in half an hour. On the next day King and A. E. Davis played a good game, the latter most (stubbornly keeping up his wicket for a couple of hours at a time when defence was particularly useful. Surrey did well in their second innings, thanks to good cricket by Abel, Hayward, Lockwood, L. Walker, and Lees. The latter was not out 67 when stumps were drawn with the total at 274 for eight wickets. Nice and 5 c Davis, b Jayes 11 Total ... ..208 Total ..........2*9 L eiceste r sh ir e . First innings.

Played at Trent Bridge on June 4, 5 and 6. Drawn. It cannot be said that this match ever offered much excitement or even interest to the spectators, and after the first day’s play it was pretty evident that it must result in a draw if the weather held up. Essex had the good fortune to win the toss, but although Sewell, taking his risks, paved the way for a good score by a fine innings of 72 made in an hour and a half, the other batsmen scored too slowly to hold out much prospect of success against a team such as that of Notts, so well known for its skill in playing for a draw. Perrin played a great innings and was not out 162 at the close of the day, when the total was 341 for tix wickets. He began very slowly indeed, taking over two hours in making his first 50, but towards the end of the day he played a much more attractive game, at one time hitting four 4’s off Iremonger in succession. Lucas showed that he has lost none of his skill. On the next morning the remaining wickets fell quickly. Perrin was batting for his 170 for four hours and three-quarters. For the rest of the day the Notta men were batting, and when stumps were drawn they had lost nine wickets for 801, being 100 runs behind. There was nothing
