J une 23, 1904. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 213 ESSEX v. DERBYSHIRE. Played at Leyton on June 16, 17 and 18. Derbyshire won by 39 runs. When the first'day’s play in this match came to an end no one could have anticipated a victory for Derbyshire, who after doing badly in their first inniDgs on a good wicket, allowed Essex to make 244 for the loss of eight wickets. The chief agents in the downfall of the Derbyshire batsmen were Reeves, Douglas and Tremlin, who all bowled finely. There was very little that was remarkable about the batting on either side, except that F. H. Gillingham reappeared in the team, and p ayedasplendidinuirgs of lu3. He was at the wickets for two hours and a quarter, and there was not a dull moment during his innings, for he played the most attractive cricket imaginable. He was bowled ly the last ball of the day. Douglas deserved well of his side, for hehelped Gillingham to put up 105 runs in an hour and ten minutes, when bi'x wickets had fallen for 116. On Friday the fortune of the gam turned in favour of Dertyshire, who, thanks to fine batting in the sccond innings, were able to give Essex the task of making 228 to win, while, as they got rid of Fane, Carpenter and lerrin for 37 before stumps were drawn, they bad more than a possible chance of winning. L. G. Wright played a great gan'e for Derbyshire in the second innings for an hour and three-quarters, but when he was out half the wickets wer- dowD, and his county was only 21 runs on. C&dman then played splendid cricket tor three hours and had the satisfaction of making over a bund ed runs, while he placed his side in a very fa'ourable pot-ition. Humphries helped him to put on 184 rui s for the eighth ticket in an hour anu a-half. With three of their best men out Fssex still had to make ii>l runs to win on tiaturdxy, and alihough Gillmg- hmn played another fine iuninga, while Sewell and R. eves did very well indeed, the task proved too aiduous. At one time, thanks to the flue play of Sewell and Gillingham, who made 82 ruts in a little over three-quaners of an hour. Ea^tx, with six wickets in hand, were within 95 runs of victory.

Played at the Oval on June 16, 17 and 18. Surrey won by five wickets. By the end of the first day’s play in this m,itch Surrey teemed to have gained such a commanding position that a defeat was almost out of the question, but although on Saturday they were able to gain a victory with half their wickets in hand in the fourth inniD gs of the match, there weie times when defeat stared them in theface. On the first day ihey s ored 4 9 for the loss of seven wickets, Hayward, baker, Hayes and Burton all playing exceedingly well. For the tiret wicket Haker and Bayward put up 2 l* in two hours and three-quarte***. the fo»mer having a fair share of luck. LUt making many excellent 8tn kes, while Bayward, who mad* hi* highe-t i*coie this season, played an almost perf-ct g.me. Later, Hay*8 plnyed brilliant and most attractive cricket, scoring 7u runsout of 124 in an hour and tenminutes Another good innings was that of H. H. burton, who was mtking his first appearance in county cricket, although he has played with success for Lon­ don County, bo much progress was made with the game on Friday that when stumps were drawn it looked as if an hour or two on the next morning would decide the match. The rem ining three Surrey wickets fell quickly, t>nd when Cambridge went in the batsmen failed to do themselves justice with the exception of Marsh, Keigwin and Hopuy. Marsh plaved a real y goo innings for 61, Kei*win kept up his wicket writing for someone to stay with him, and Hopley hit very hard. Gooder an l Hatfield both bowled well. Cambridge had to follow on. requiring 293 runs to save the innings defeat, and when the day's play ended they had knocked off 206 of the runs for the loss of f ,ur wickets. Keigwin and Eyre were chiefly responsible for the poii ion in which the University now found themselves. The foimer played his usual steady gtme, although towards the end of his innings he occasionally hit with vigour, while Eyre was still not out with t>4 to his credit when stumps were drawn. On Saturday, Kyre. Fry and McDonell all played well, aud Hirsi-h and Wilson both hit so vigorously and met with such success that Surrey after all had to make 1 51 runs to win. This was apparently an easy task, but withthe total at 12 Mou<der was bowed, at 29 H >lland followed his example, at 55 Bayes was caught, and at 64 Ba1er was caugnt and bowled. Not long after­ wards Sarel wasdismissed, and with half the side out and 6? runs still required, Surrey men began to look anxious. But Hayward and Burton then came to­ gether and, gradually g'tiniiigthe upperhand, hadthe pleasure of pulling ihe match out of ihe fire. S u rrey . / First innings.

SUSSEX v. LANCASHIRE. Played at Manchester on June 16, 17 and 18. Drawn. It is clearly r»cognised hy all the counties which oppose Sussex that, no matter what may be the state of the wicket or the position of the game, it is useless to begin to count on victory until rry and ttanjit- Hinhji have both completed a couple of inniogs, and although during the earlier stages of the match at Old Trafford Lancashire had very much the best of matters, they can hardly have dared to hope for victory. As things turned out, the two famous Sussex batsmen saved their side eaBily enough on the fourth inninpB of the match. The first day’s cricket was chiefly remarkable for the splendid game played by R. H. Spooner, and an unexpected stand for the ninth wicket by Brearley and Sharp, which enabled the latter to score his first hundred of the season, vt the beginning of the game Lancashire met with two great disasters, Maclaren being dismissed before he had scored, and Tyides'ey only making 10. But Spooner, who for twenty tninu es could not make a run afterwards played so finely, and met with such valuable assistance from Garnett and Poidevin, that the fortunes of the game changed entirely. Spooner, who never made a mistake, was hatting for two hours and forty minutes for his90. Laterin theday Sharp, who met with some luck, made runs quickly, and when eight wickets had fallen he was within .9 of hia hundred. Bre»rley then stayedwith him for the rest of the day, hitting as hard as, or perhaps harder than his partner. The unfinished partnership pro­ duced 64 runsin forty minutes, Brearley being not out 27, and Sharp not out 101. Total 388 for eight w»cket8. On Friday Lancashire only added a single run to the overnight total, and then the 8ussex men played a disappoiutiug game until the tail, especially Keif and Leach, saved the situation by some plucky cricket. The innings came to an end just before rain fell, Lancashire having a lead of 1 7. Un Saturday Biaclaren and Spooner were in such brilliant form that they put up at3 runs for the first Lancashire wicket in the second tunings in two hours and twenty minute**, both men being seen at their best. They each made thirteen 4’s. During lunch timeMaclaren declared the innings closed, leaving Sussex to make 361 runs in three hours and three-quarters. Vine was out before a run had been scored, but Killick and Fry made 116 in an hour and a half for the second wicket, and afterwards Fry and Banjitsinhji played out time. L an cash ire . A. C.
