390 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. S ept . 3, 1903. THE SCARBOROUGH FESTIVAL. M.C.C. & GROTTND v. YORKSHIRE. Played at Scarborough on Aug 27, 28 and 29. Yorkshire won by an innings and 16 runs. It would have been a somewhat remarkable thing if Yorkshire had been defeated in this match, for although their reputation to some extei-t has suffered lately, they were opposed to such a weak team that with ordinary luck they were certain to win. Lord Bawke, for the sixth time in succe sion. von the to-s, but decided to put the M.C.C. in firs*-. The weather was very unpromisit g, and after the game had teen in progress for an hour and ten m'nutes, a heavy storm caused an adjournment un’ il the next morn­ ing. The M.C.C., for the loss of three wickets, scored 62. On Friday W. H. B. Evars, who Jad play d well on the previous day for ‘21 not out, only in­ creased his sc re ly fight, but Relf, the other not out. added twenty to his over-night total; the rest of the team did next to notbirg. Rhodes met with remarkable success with theball; he wei.t on on Friday morning for the firstt'me, and took his first fivewickets for two runs only. Tarrant spoiled his record a little by making a few runs off him, but at tbe end of the innings he had taken six wickets for 24 ruus. When Yorkshire went in Brown was dismissed with the total at one run, but before the next wicket fell Yorl shire were within a dozen runs of the M.C.C. score, and for the rest of the day they continued to increase their advantage rapidly. 1he second wicket partnership produced 87 n m s-cf which 60 were made in half-an-hour, and the third wicket put on 102 in fifty minutes, Hirst and Jackson playing beautiful cricket, and scoring at about the samepace. Ernest Smith *as only at the wickets for twenty minutes, but in that time he made things very lively, hitting up v8 runs. When stumps were drawn the total was 26? for seven wickets, so that Yorkshire were now 166 runs on. Rothery, a colt, batted veiy well on Saturday morning, and Lord Bawke atd Haigh made useful scores. The innings was declared with nine wickets down, and the M.C.U. had to make 231 before drawing level. For the first wicket Relf and Thompson made 89, battir g bo well and so easily that there seemed a sfrong probability that the M.C.C would play out time, but afterwards no one, except Evans and Wbitebead. could make any pro­ longed resistance against the Yorkshire bowlers.

LEICESTERSHIRE. Played at Leyton on August 27, 28 and 29. Essex won by 10 wickets. When this match began the wicket was very soft, and as the Leicester hire captain won the toss he decided to put his opponents in, with the result that the tjsex inniogs lasted all the day, and produced 3r8 runs. For about an hour and a quarter it seemed likely that the Leicestershire captain’s policy had a fiir chance of meeting with success, for Fane, McGahey, Douglas, and Sewell were al out for 48 rune, which had obviously been very difficult to obtain. Eut when Gillingham and Perrin got to­ gether the turning point cf the innings came. After beginnirg carefully, the two men tegan to open their shoulders, and at lunch time the score bad been increased by 44 runs, at the rate of a run a minute. '1 he fame rate of scoring was kept up afterwards, and when the partnership was Ir ken it had produced 83 runs. Perrin was the first to go, after playing a fine innings, which was of the utmost value to his side. There wan another fine stond by Gillingham and Reeves. It produced 107 runs in an hour and ten minutes, and then Gillingham. after making the first hundred cf his short career in first-class matches, was caught at the wicket; he had been batting for three hours and a half, and his faultless innings was worthy of the very highest praise. After Reeves had been dismissed for an excellent 66, Mead hit very hard, and carried his 1at for 33. Durirg the night it rained, and when Leicf stershirewent in to bat they had \ery little chance of distinguishing themselves agairst such a bowler as Mead on a wicket which suited him. All through the day they were fighting against odd?, and never looked like pulling the match out of the fire. Mead, from first to last, bowled exceedingly well. Several men made very useful scores, but none of them could hold out long enough to play the sort of innings which was re­ quired if the match Mas to be saved, and when stumps were drawn five wickets in the second innings were down, and 34 runs were still needed to save the innings defeat. On Saturdav Mead again bowled well, and the last five wickets fell for thirty- ei/ht runs. E ssex .
