Cricket 1904

M ay 19, 1904. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 141 LANCASHIRE v. WARWICKSHIRE. Played at Old Trafford on May 16,17 and 18. Lancashire won by nine wickets. On account of rheumatism A. C. Maclaren was unable to play in this match for Lancashire. There was nothing very remarkable about the Warwick­ shire first innings on Monday, but Quaife played a good game for a couple of hours. When stumps were drawn the Lancashire score was 104 for two wickets, Spooner not out 53. On Tuesday Spooner made 22 more runs, his entire innings having lasted for twohours and a quarter. Several other men made good scores, but Sharp’s finely hit innings of 72 stood out prominently. Moorhouse bowled exceedingly well. Warwickshire had to face an adverse balance of 101, and when stumps were drawn they were two runs on with six wickets in hand. Quaife again played good cricket, and was not out 39, Lilley being not out 44 yesterday. W a r w ic k sh ir e . First innings. Second innings.

Played at the Oval on May 16, 17 and 18. Derbyshire won by 122 runs. Surrey men were beginning to wonder before this match whether better times were not in store for their county, for both in battiD g and bowling the team seemed stronger than it had been for years, while the fielding was not at all bad and the wicket- keeping wonderfully good. But by the end of the second day of this match they were a little doubtful. On the first day Surrey g o t rid of Derbyshire for a total which was regarded as small for the good wicket, and scored 119 themselves for the loss of only two wickets, so that th ings looked verymuch in their favour. But on the second day the batting was not as good as it had been overnight, with the exception of Chinnery’s innings, while when Derbyshire went in again the bowling was made to appear very weak. Derbyshire after winning the toss lost three wickets for 23, and Dr. Ashcroft and Curgenven each gave a chance almost immediately afterwards. Unfortu­ nately for Surrey these were missed and the two men proceeded to play beautiful cricket. While they were together 118 runs were put on in less than an hour and three-quarters, and a fine score seemed in store for Derbyshire. Curgenven’s reappearance in the Derbyshire team was a distinct suocess, while Dr. Ashcroft, who was in his best form, put together his 85 in two hours and forty minutes. Wten the total was 180 things were looking very well indeed for the visitors, but by the time that ten more runs had been added four more wickets hadfallen, and the total was disappointing. Lees and Smith, who had been so successful with the ball in recent matches, only took two wickets between them for 116 runs, but Lockwood was in brilliant form. At the wicket Strudwick accounted for four men, all off Lockwood. When Surrey went in Abel gave a delightful display of batting, quite like that of his best years, and his play on the leg side was worth watching. He was well backed up by Hayes and Holland. When stumps were drawn the total was 119 for twowickets, Abel not out 63 andHollandnot out19. On Tuesday Abel rapidly began to approach his hundred, but when within nineteen oi the three figures he was well caught at point; his entire innings lasted for about two hours and twenty minutes. Holland did not stay long and Sheppard failed entirely; but Chinnery played a toost attractive innings, his treat­ ment of Betstwick being somewhat drastic. Oce of Bestwick’s overs resulted in three 4’s and a chance in the slips, which produced three for an overthrow. Chinnery was only at the wickets for a few minutes over the hour for his fine innings of 65. Most of the tail failed to distinguish themselves, but Lees played a useful inniugs. With a balance against them of only 34 instead of a hundred or two as at one time seemed probable Derbyshire began their second innings with Wright and Ollivierre, who not only knocked off the arrears but kept together until they had put together 173 runs in twohoursand aquarter, when the partnership was broken by a fine piece of stumping by Strudwick. Both men hit with deter­ mination whenever the least opportunity presented itself, and the bowlers could do nothi' g with them. Wright did not long survive his late partner. He was out just after the tea interval for a veryfineinn­ ings of 90, which was put together in two hours and a half. After his dismissal the batting was only noticeable for the fine innings of 41 not out by Dr. Ashcroft. When stumps were drawn the total was 290 for six wickets, so that Derbyshire were 256 runs on. Forty eight runs were added yesterday morning and then Surrey went in to make 300 runs in five hours—if they could. Abel and Hayward made a fairly good beginning, but afterwards, although Lord Dalmeny, Lees, and R. A. Sheppard did their best to get their side out of a very awkward situation, Derbyshire always seemed to be playing a winning game. Shortlyafterfour o’clock the match was over, and Derbyshire had gained a splendid victory. Hayes bowled exceedingly well in the Derbyshire second innings, while Bestwick and Warren hadmuch to do with Surrey’s defeat. D e r b y sh ir e . First innings. L. G.

Gloucestershire won by three wickets. On a good wicket Somerset in their first innings could do very little with the bowling of Dennett, and only three men made good scores. L. C. H. Palairet played pretty cricket, and Lewis showed sound defence, but half the wickets were down for 62. Captain Foyntz, who was making his first appearance for the <$ounty, then played an attractive innings, his 32 runs being made out of 45 while he was at the wickets; but the total fell far short of what was expected when Somerset won the toss. Before stumps were drawn Gloucestershire lost eight wickets for 178. Six of the men who batted made double figures, but nobody got really going. Jeesop’s innings was lively enough, but it only lasted for ten minutes ; in the over in which he was caught in the Ions? field off a big hit he made 14 runs. On Tuesday onlyone more run was made, so that the lead held by Gloucestershire was only 13. The second innings of Somerset was chiefly remarkable for the splendid batting of.L. C. fl. Palairet, whocarriedhis bat nearly through the innings, always playing a beautiful and attractive game. He made hisfirst 60 in an hourand a quarter, and his second 60 in about an hour and a half, his entire innings lasting for four hours and ten minutes. Robson gave himmost valuable assistance for a couple of hours, and helped him to put on 127 for the third wicket. Gloucestershire had to make 298 towin. Before stumps were drawn they had put up 20 runs without less. Yesterday the two not outs, Sellick and Barnett, surprised everybody by putting up 73 for the first wicket, and Gloucestershire never looked back. At lunch time the total was 143 for two wickets, Jessop being not out 46. He had only been in for ten minutes. After lunch he made 15 more runs, his total of 61 being made out of 73 in twenty- four miuutes. Some notes on his remarkable hitting will be found in “ Gossip.” Afterwards Wrathall and Langdon played fine cricket, and Gloucestershire won a somewhat sensational victory. S om erset .
