Cricket 1904

124 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a y 12, 1904. SURREY v, HAMPSHIRE. R E M A R K A B L E B O W L I N G B Y L E E S . Played at the Oval on May 0, 10 and 11. Surrey won by 253 runs. Although Surrey were without Hayward and Lockwood, who were playing for the Rest of England at Lord’s, and Abel, who had caught a cold, the Eleven completely outplayed the Hampshire men on the first day. Captain Wynyard reappeared in the Hampshire team, but the time of Captain Greig and Major Poore is not yet. Unfortunately for Hamp­ shire Llewellyn was not able to play on account of an injured foot, and his absence was very greatly felt— more, even, than the absence of Lockwood from Surrey. Langford, the bowler who showed such promise for Hampshire last season, and Hesketh- Prichard were both in good form with the ball, but they had no one ableto backthemup. Hayes played a very sound innings, not being quite as quick in scoring as usual, although at times he hit with vigour; his fine innings lasted for an hour and fifty minutes. E. A. Sheppard, who has Rained a repu­ tation with the Sutton C.C., made his firstappearance in tbe Surrey team and played a most promising innings. Lord Dalmeny, who again showed good cricket, had a little luck, but as the wicket was becoming more difficult he took his chances. When Hampshire went in tberewas a surprising breakdown in the batting. From the first Lees was almost irresistible ; with only two runs on the board he dis­ missed Captain Wynyard, A. J. L. Hill and E. M. Sprot. He followed up these successes by bowling Steele and Bowell, and when ha'f the side were out for only 17 runs he had the remarkable analysis of ten overs, peven maiders. seven runs and five wickets. His career cf success did not end here, and he took three more wichets for an additional nine runs before tbe innings came to an end, after lasting about an hour. With a lead of 163 Surrey decided to go in again, and in the course of a quarter of an hour before play ended, added 11 ruus without losing a wicket, Lord Dalmeny being not out 2 and Hayes not out 6. On Tuesday rain fell early in the morning: and continued for so long that play was not resumed until nearly five o’clock. Sheppard again showed most promising form, and when stumps were drawn he was still at the wickets, with 41 to his credit. Moulder also batted very well indeed, and as other men made useful scores tbe total was 141 for five wickets when stumps were drawn. Thus Surrey were 299 runs on. Sheppard yesterday onlv added one run to his overnight total, but Chinnery did pretty well and in the end Hampshire had the almost impossible task of making 323 to win on a difficult wicket. Captain Wynyard and E. M. Sprot made a plucky attempt to put some­ thing like a good appearance on the game, but the team as a whole failed completely against the bowling of Smith, who was almost as successful as Lees had been on the previous day. Indeed, he took one more wicket than Lees, his record being nine wickets for 31, a really wonderful performance. S u r r e y . First innings.

In the absence of A. C. Maclaren and Tyldesley, who were playing for the Rest of Eogland at Lord's, Lancashire made a good score on the first day of this match, although when stumps were drawn they had hardly the best of the situation, that is to say if the weather remained fine. Nearly all the run-getting for Lancashire was done by three men—H. G. Garnett, R. H Spooner, and r Anson—who between them scored 278 out of a total of 373 from the bat. The first wicket partnership, between Garnett and Spooner, produced 134 runs in an hour and twenty minutes, the former being the first out for a fine score of 70, which included ten 4’s. Spooner con­ tinued to bat well, and received useful assistance from F. H. Hollins, and afterwards from I’Anson. Spooner was dismissed with the total at 291 after being at the wickets for two hours and three- quarters, his hits including twelve 4’s. His partnership with I’Anson accounted for 113 runs m an hour. I’Anson was only batting for an hour and a quarter, but succeedel in getting within sight of his hundred. An hour and a half remained for play, and in this short time Leicestershire made 142 for two wickets, despite the abnence of Knight, who was at L« rd’t». C. E. De Trafford was going particularly strong when he was run out, and then, after King had been dismissed for two runs, V. F. S. Cravford and Wood took charge of>the bowling, increasing the total from 56 to 142 in three- quarters of an hour. When stumps were drawn Crawford was not out 50 and Wood not out 62. On Tuesday there was a very different tale to tell. For when play was resumed at about four o’clock, after heavy rain, the bowlers carried everything before them, and the fine batting of the previous evening was followed by a very natural breakdown. Leicestershire were made to follow on with 181 runs to knock off before they were level, and when stumps were drawn they had made 35 for the loes of one wicket. Leicestershire had a terribly uphill task yesterday and although V. F. S. Crawford, Wood and Whitehead played good cricket, the handicap was too great and they were badly beaten. L a n c a sh ir e .

Leveson-Gower was not able to take a very strong team to Oxford for this match, and in bowling he was especially weak. Six of last year’s Oxford eleven were playiDg for the ’Varsity, the eleven being completed by the inclusion of four Seniors and one Freshman. For the Gentlemen of England Marsham and Fane put up 61 for the first wicket, and then the bowlers carried everything before them until six men were out for 121 at lunch time. Disasters did not end here, for with only 11 more runs on the board three more men were out, all caught in the slips by Evans off the bowling of Ernst- hausen. But when Fox joined Leveson-Gower, who had been playing exceedingly well, there was a splendid stand for the last m lcket, resulting in an addition of 101 runs to the total in fifty minutes. Fox’s hardhit 43 included nine 4’s, while thecaptain, who was batting for an hour and fifty minutes, hit seven 4’s in his 65 not out. When stumps were drawn Oxford had made 162 runs for the loss of three wickets. Raphael made 80 of them in an hour and forty minutes, and in the course of his innings he hit a 6 and two 4’s off an over from Hartley. Mclver also played well. On Tuesday the weak bowling of the visitors again came in f<r severe punishment, Evans making 80. The tail did not do much, but the total was 111 runs in excess of that made by the Gentlemen of England. When stumps were drawn the visitors, fcr the loss of eight wickets, were only 68 runs on. Marsham, Fane and Leveson-Gower for the second time in the match played excellentcricket, but they were not well backed up. Yesterday the tail played well, and the University had to make 126 to win. Thanks to Raphael and Carlisle this task was easily accomplished. G entlem en of E n gland . First innings. C. J. B. Marsham, bEvanB 44 F.L.Fane,c Raphael,bErns- thausen ........................44 G.
