J u l y 21, 1904. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 277 LANCASHIRE v. DERBYSHIRE. Played at Derby on July 14, 16 and 16. Lancashire won by an innings and 129 runs. The Lancashire team seem* stronger than ever just row, and no one could have been surprised when Derbyshire were severely beaten. On the first day Lancashire scored 371 and got a Deri yshire wicket dowD for 22. Maclaren and Spooner put up 68 in a little over half an hour for the first wicket, and although both Tyldesley and Poidevin failed, Hal­ lows played a grewt game and received useful assist­ ance from Sharp and Cuttell; Hallows played his first innings of a hundred this season and was batting for two hours «nd twenty-five minutes. After Home rain in the night the Derbyshire batting broke down badly in the first innings against Kermode and Brearley. the litter bowling with a very high wind behind him. In the follow-on the batting was again disappointing, but Lawton played a brilliant inning*. He was at the wickets for an hour and ten minutes for his f0, and among his hits were a six and fifteen fours; some of his powerful drives were quite remarkable. L ancashire .

TUNBRIDGE WELLS WEEK. KENT v. YORKSHIRE. Played at Tunbridge Wells on July 14, 15 and 16. Drawn. In this match the Yorkshire team appeared on the Tunbridge Wells ground for the first time, and possibly because it was entirely strange to them they gave a disappointing exhibition of batting on the first day. Several men played well,but not one of them ever seemed quite comfortable. As is usual nowa­ days, their bowlers did more than their share of run- getting, Haigh and Rhodes both playinggood cricket. When stumps were drawn Kent, after batting for about an hour and three-quarters, had made 74 for the loss of two wickets; Alec Hearne was not out 34 and Blaker not out 13. The third wicket fell on Friday at 121, but Mason and Marchant, two old captains of the Kent eleven, then made a most valu­ able stand which produced 107 runs in an hour and ten minutes. N th men played exceedingly well, Marchant in pariji-ular making many of the fine drives for which he used to be so well known. Mason’s innings of 138 was in every way worthy of his great reputation as a batsman possessing many strokes ; he was batting for three hours and a quarter, and his hits included thirteen 4’s. Another very fine innings was the 92 by C. H. B. Marsham. Thanks chiefly to these three men Kent had a very useful lead of 178. Yorkshire went in to bat again for an hour and ten minutes, and in that time scored 104 for the loss of two wickets, so that they still required 74 runs to save the innings defeat. 8o finely did Hirst, Denton and Tunnicliffp play on Saturday that Yorkshire not only avoided all chances of defeat, but had a remote possibility of winning the match. The partnership between Denton and Tunnicliffe produced 114 runs in an hour and ten minutes, and that between Tunnicliffe and Hirst 171 runs in about three hours. As the innings came to an end at about five o’clock and Kent had to make 315 runs, there was no possible chance of victory for them, but on the other hand if they broke down badly they might lose. As things turned out Huish, Seymour and Blythe all hit hard, and when the match ^nded the total was 151 for three wickets so that Kent had the best of the draw. Y orkshire . First innings. H.

The ground at Taunton is a paradise for batsman when theie has been fine weather for some time, for the wickets are splendid and the boundaries not at all difficult to reach. On the first day of the m^tch Somerset not only socred 318 but left Httmpahire with an hour and torty minutes to bat before stumps were drawn, getting down four wickets for 1 26 a very good day’ s work indeed. The chief feature of the Somerset innings was the battir g of M. J. Woods, who, after leading the bowlers tj imagine that he would speedily fall a victim to their strategy, played himself int > form, and made 136 by exceed­ ingly attractive cricket. He was at the wickets for only a little more than an hour and three-quarters, but he managed to reach the boundary twenty-four times. During his partnership with Lewis the two men hit tremendously hard after lunch, putting on 85 runs in a little over half an hour. PaUiret made some brilliant strokes in his 57. but it was hardly one of his best innings. It seemed likely that Somerset would make a very large total, but some fine bowling by 8teele brought about a startling change in the fortunes of the game. On Friday morning two Hampshire men were run out, and the innings seemed about over when Langford and Martin mide a fine stand for the last wicket which produced 76 runs, and saved the follow on. When Somerset went in again with a lead of 104, Palairet, Hedley, Robson and Martyn all played finely, while Lewis almost succeeded in scoring a hundred for the second time in tbe match. The result of all this go^d batting was a total of 363 for seven wickets, so that Somerset were now 467 runs on. Martyn and Newton added 47 to the total in a quarter of an hour on Saturday morning, and when the former was out the innings was declared closed. Hampshire had the formidable task of makiDg 515 to win, or of keeping up their wickets all day. At lunch time only two wickets had fallen, ihanks to a fine stand by Bowell and Captain Palmer. Afterwards Ssmerset always seemed to have the game in hand. Bowell played excellent cricket for an hour and three-quarters, and Captain Palmer and Llewellyn 1oth played a sound game; but when they were out wickets f 11 rapidly, and a plucky stand of 48 for the last wicket only served to prolong the game for balf-an-hour. Somerset were victorious at four o’clock. S omerset . First innings. L. C. H.
