J uly 23, 1903. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 303 ESSEX v. DERBYSHIRE. Played at Glossop on July 20, 21 and 22. Essex won by 232 runs. On a ■wicket which was slow but not extremely difficult on Monday, the two best known Essex bats, Perrin and McQahey, were seen to advantage. The foimer was batting for an hour and a-half and the latter for two hours and ten miautes. As usual, they waited for their opportunities, but seldom missed them when they came. There was nothirg else of much moment ia the innings, except that BuckeDham made his runs very quickly, and that Fane ph>yed an excellent game. When stumps were drawn E^sex had much the best of matters, for they had suc­ ceeded in dUmisting six of their opponents for 85. Ollivietre was not out 25, while Storer made 28. On Tuesday the former increased his score ly 18, and was out in trying to make runs quickly, since wickets were falling fast. When the innings ended Essex had a lead of 81. This they proceeded to increase at a rapid rate, for Sewell made himself comfortable fiom the first, and gave the bowlers no rest, while Fane also played a bold and attractive game. At a quarter to two, when 75 runs had been made in fifty minutes, rain stopped play. No further progress could be made with the game until about a quarter to live, when Sewell and Fane again continued to hit brilliantly uniil the total wai 116, when Sewell, after batting for an hour and ten minutes, was out for a splendid 66. Fttne t?uivived until 76 more runs had been put on by him and Perrin; he had batted for an hour more than Sewell, and, although he took risks, made very few mistake?. The successful part­ nerships for the flrst and second wickets had now placed Essex in a commanding position, and when stumps were drawn they were *281 luns on with eight wickets iahand. Perrin was not out 41 and McGaheynot out 5.Yt sterday the game was resumed on a wicket on which a lot of rain had fallen during the night, and E'sex practically had their opponents at their mercy.

There were some extremely interesting changes in this match. On a gx>d wicket the M.C.C. ran up a big score, whereas the County on a wicket affected by rain lost six wickets for 23, and their position looked absolutely hopeless. But it was then that Ranjitsinbji’s infinite variety and skill came in. He at once b»gan to score quickly, but did not receive any help to speak of until, with nine wickets down for 68, P. R. May came in. Then came a startling change. May kept up his wicket while Ranj tsinhji simply juggled with the bowling, getting the over time after tim«*with the utmost cleverness. Nothing could 8top him, and when at last he was finely caught at mid-on he had scored nearly all the 130 runs which the partnership produced in eighty minutes, and he as nearly as possible saved the follow on. His entire Innings lasted for two hours, and there was absolutely no fault to ba found with his battirg. May played uncommonly well, and thoroughly deserved tie ovation which he shared with Ranj itsinbji on his retirement to the pavilion. With the game in their hands the M.C.C. made the fatal mistake of going in themselves inetead of giving the County another chance before the wicket recovered. The result was that owing to some fine bowling by Posthuma and Vine they were all out for 8 <, and this left the County to make 243, on a wicket which was likely to improve. Before stumps were drawn W. G. and Vine made 19 without being separated, and yesterday, thanks to brilliant batting by Poidevin and Ranjiteiubji ably assisted by a stay of two hours and a half at the wickets by Heygate, the County were tiiumphant.

Worcestershire won by an innings and 10 runs. On the first day of this match the ticket was slow, and the play even slower, and up to lunch time only 70 runs were made in the course of a couple of hours. For once the members of the Worcesterat ire team seemed to have lost all th-ir dash, and they took nearly the whole day to make 233, the only outstand­ ing innings being that of Gaukrodger, who made 59 in an hour and three quarters. When stumps were drawn Leicestershire had made 18 without loss. On Tuesday Arnold and Keene carried everything before them, the latter having the tine anali sisi f six wickets for 22 runs. V. F. S Crawford was not playing on accouut of an injury to his knee. Leicestershire had to follow on, being 162 runs behind, and when stumps were drawn they had lost C. J. B. Wood, Knight, and Whitehead for 61. King was not out 31. There was heavy rain yesterday morning, but the sun dried the wicker, and at about a quarter past four Leicestershire began their arduous task of making 101 runs before they could put their opponents in again. King was content merely to keep up his wicket, but Coe and B. T. Crawford hit out occa­ sionally. But it was all to no purpose, and although there was always just a chance that the side would make a draw the task was too difficult. W 0 BCR 8 TEBSHIBB. H. K.
