Cricket 1904

204 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 16, 1904 NOTTS y. MIDDLESEX. Played at Lord’s on June 13, 14 and 15. Notts won by an innings and 20 runs. After A. O. Jones and Iremonger had put up 72 runs for the first Notts wicket, such a change came over the game that when half the wickets were down the total had only been advanced by 61. Hardstaff then joined Iremonger, and helped him to put on 73 runs in an hour for the sixth wicket, and as Day, Hallam and Wass all gave valuable assistance to Iremonger, the Notts total nearly approached 400. Iremonger was at the wickets for five hours and a quarter. J. T. Hearne bowled exceedingly well for a long time during the day. On Tuesday, Middlesex began their innings badly, losing threewickets for 41. Bosanquet then played a lively innings, making 32 out of 35 runs, aud Littlejohn played good cricket. Meanwhile, G. W . Beldam was batting with great caution. At lunch-time the total was 122 for five wickets. Beldam receivedso little assistancethat his side were made to follow on; his innings of 40 lasted for two hours. Yesterday, Middlesex struggled gamely, but although both Beldam and Littlejohn kept their wickets intact for a long time, there never seemed t&ny chance that a drawn game would be brought about.

It cannotbe said that the Yorkshiremen showed to advantage on the first day of this match, for they took nearly four hours to make 220 runs, and then allowed Sussex to put up 72 without losing a wicket. Jackson played beautiful cricket for his 40, but not one of the other men seemed comfortable with Cox, who, although his wickets were expensive, bowled admirably-for hours. Tate met with much success. Undoubtedly the best and most attractive cricket of the day was shown when Fry and Vine were together foran hour and a half before stumps weredrawn, and during that time they made the Yorkshire bowling look very simple indeed. Fry was not out 53, and Yine not out 13. Soon after the game was resumed on Tuesday morning, Yine and Relf were both out, but Ranjitsinhji then joined Fry and the Yorkshire bowling was gradually worn down until it was completely mastered. Fryplayed amagnificentgame, while his partner was for some time content to take matters easily. At lunch time the two men were still together, and they were not parted until the total was 341. They had increased the total by 255 runs in three hours and fifty minutes. Altogether Fry was battingfor fivehours and a quarter. Ranjit- sinhji was not out 132 when stumps weredrawn, with the total at 354. The innings was closed yesterday when the Yorkshire total was just doubled. After Tunnlcliffe wasdismissed, Jackson andDentonplayed a wonderfully good game, and saved their side from any danger of defeat. Y o r k sh ir e . First innings. Second innings.

Played at the Crystal Palace on June 13, 14 and 15. Cambridge won by 139 runs. A fine innings by J. F. Marsh for Cambridge was the chief feature of the first day’s cricket in this match. Marsh was batting for two hours and forty minutes, and his hits included fourteen 4’s. Dr. Grace was able to place a pretty strong team in the field for London County,the elevenincluding Messrs. F. H. Bohlen, the Philadelphian cricketer, and a promising wicket-keeper in Bale. Braund was in great form with the ball, but Mead only took one wicket for 92 runs. When London County went in Dr. Grace was soon lbw, but Murdoch and Burton added 66 for the second wicket, and when stumps were drawn the total was 84 for two wickets. F. H. Bohlen played a fine game on Tuesday morning, and Braund, who could get nobody to stay with him, carried his bat for a very useful 33. Cambridge had a lead of 95, but did badly in their second innings, losing their first four wickets for 42. Afterwards Wilson and Hopley hit vigorougly, and London County had to make 282 to win. Yesterday, on a ruined wicket, Hirsch batted finely, but Napier was in great form with the ball, and the University won easily. C am bridge U n iv e e sity . First innings. S. S.

Worcestershire won by an innings and 93 runs. Against the bowling of Wilson theUniversity fared badly, and by the time that stumps were drawn they seemed destined to suffer a severe defeat, for against their total of 172 Worcestershire had scored 239 for three wickets. H. K. Foster was not out 60 and Arnold not out 11. On Tuesday Foster brought his total to 116, his innings having lasted for two hours. The University had to go in against a balance of 295, and when two wickets had fallen for 40 rain fell. Yesterday Oxford played up well but never seemed likely to avoid defeat by an innings.
