Cricket 1904

M ay 5, 1904. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 109 CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY SENIORS’ MATCH. Played on the University ground on May 2, 3, and 4. Mr. Marsh’s side won by four wickets. In the Seniors’ and Freshmen’s matches at the University the bowlers are not often seen to advantage, but on Monday F. J. Y. Hopley and the Hon. G. W. Lyttelton had an opportunity of which they availed them­ selves. C. C. Page played the highest and best innings of the day, and R. E. Lambert and J. G. Hirsch both did very well indeed on a difficult wicket. The play on Tuesday was chiefly remarkable for the batting of H. D. Keigwin, a brother of last year’s Blue; he made 88 in an hour and a half by cricket of a kind which ought to gain him a“ thorough trial. Hopley and Driffield bowled well. The play yesterday was noticeable for the good batting of J. F. Marsh, who made 113 in an hour and three- quarters. In partnership with Hirsch he helped to increase the score by 84. Mb. R. E.

AND GROUND v. LONDON COUNTY C.C. Played at Lord’s on May 2, 3 and 4. London County C.C.won by seven wickets Owing to rain there was no play in this match on Monday when the season at Lord’s should have begun. Except that W. W. Odell took the place of Hesketh Prichard there was no change in the London County teamwhich had played Surrey last week. On Tuesday the weather was fine but a little cold, and as the rain had affected the wicket considerably, batsmen had rather a bad time. The M.C.C. began well enough by putting up 40 for the first wicket, C. E. De Trafford playing a delightful innings. After­ wards nobody could make any prolonged resistance to Odell, who took seven wickets for 41 runs, three of his victims, viz., Newstead, G. L. Jessop, and L. H. Gay, being out to successive balls. The visitors made a bad commencement of their innings by losing Dr. Grace for a duck’s egg, and so well did Hearne and Tarrant bowl that four wickets were down for 34, and the remaining wickets I fell quickly. With a lead of 10 runs the M.C.C. scored 120 in their second innings for four wickets before stumps were drawn. Of these runs 61 came from the bat of Captain Wynyard, who was still not out; he played in quite his old style, although he was not quite as aggressive as he used to be. Sir A. Conan Doyle, who, when play ended was not out 19, batted very well indeed. In the course of the day G. L. Jessop was twice out for a duck’s egg, the only time in his life that he has made a pair of spectacles. Yesterday the two not outs played very pretty cricket, but at 131 Sir A. Conan Doyle was dismissed for a very well played 31. Capt. VVynyard did not long survive him. His steady innings of 75 had taken him two hours and a half to compile. After this Odell, as on the previous day, was almost irresistible, and his record for the morning was five wickets for 19 runs; alto­ gether he took seven for 62 in this innings. The visitors had to make 197 to win, and although Dr. Grace played a very pretty innings, three wickets were down for 71 when Knight joined L. O. S. Poidevin. These two men took charge of the bowling, and without being separated knocked off the remaining runs by some of the best cricket seen during the match. M.C.C. an d G rou nd . First innings.

This match, which was not reckoned in the County Championship, was arranged with a view of giving a trial to a new scheme which was given in detail in Cricket last week. Unfortunately, or fortunately as the case may be, the progress of the game was such that it was not found necessary to put any of the rules into force, except that the footholds of the bowlers and batsmen were covered up overnight and during a shower, and the bound­ ary was only 60 yards from the nearest wicket. The idea that the new game, and especially the shoi*t boundary, would have the effect of turning ulow players into hitters was not at all borne out by results, and the rate of scoring was no faster than is usual in county matches. For the first half hour Brown and Tunniclifie made praiseworthy and successful efforts to keep the game lively. They put on 36 runs in the first quarter of an hour, but the next 20 took twenty minutes, and from this time there was nothing exciting about the batting, although Hirst played in his usual brisk style. Lord Hawke, as he often does, made a most useful score at a time when runs were badly wanted. The Notts team for the most part seemed to forget that rapid scoring ought to be the order of the day, and most of them took things easily. When stumps were drawn they had lost eight wickets for 126 and were 109 runs behind. On Tuesday, Wass and Hallam did so well that the adverse balance was only 73 when the innings came to an end. Except that Hirst and Rhodes both played exceedingly well, there was nothing of any interest in the Yorkshire second innings. The two returned tourists put on 70 runs while together in about half an hour. Hirst made his 60 in fifty-five minutes. When Notts began their second innings at a quarter to four they required 254 runs to win, and when stumps were drawn they had made 121 of them for the loss of half their wickets Iremonger, J. Gunn and Day played good cricket. Yesterday the tail could do very little against Rhodes and Hirst. Y orksh ire . First innings. Brown, b Hallam.................30 Tunnicliffe, c Hallam, b J.
