Cricket 1904

292 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME, J uly 28, 1904. SUSSEX v. SURREY. ( m a r l o w ’ s b e n e f i t m a t c h .) TWO SEPARATE HUNDREDS BY HAYWARD. Played at Brighton on July 21, 22 and 23. Drawn. Although Marlow, for whose benefit this match was played, has seldom represented Sussex of late years, he was one of the most useful den on the side for several seasons, and everybody was pleased that the weather was so good as to induce spectators to go to the match. Ranjitsinbji re-appeared in the Sussex team, but Tate was left out'; from the Surrey side Hayes and Lees were absent, the former owing to the death of his mother, and the latter to an injury to his foot. Sussex made 391 runs during the day for the loss of only three wickets, but although in the absence of Lees the Surrey bowling was very weak, the batting was hardly up to Sussex form. True, C. B. Fry played one of his long innings, and was only batting for three hours and fifty minutes for his 181, while Ranjitsinbji made 93 not out, but there seemed a want of enterprise during the day which made the cricket seem slow, try’s hits included a six and twenty-one fours. During his partnership with Vine 202 runs were put up for the first wicket in two hours and a-half, and by the time that Vine was out there was not much sting left in the bowling. On Friday Ranjittinhji added 69 to his overnight total; altogether he was at the wickets for three hours and a-quarter for his 162, in the course of which he showed all the inimitable skill for which he is to famous. C. L. A. Smith, Newham and Brann all played well, and at lunch time the innings was declared closed. Afterwards Surrey lost six wickets for 213, Baker, Bolland, Raphael, and Lord Dalmeoy only making 14 runs between them. But Hayward kept in for three hours, and playing delightful cricket all the time, made 10(5, while Moulder helped him to put on 74 runs for the fourth wicket. At the end of the day Davis hit so hard that he made his 47 not out in a little over half an hour. When the game was resumed on Saturday Surrey, with four wickets in hand, still required 217 runs to save the follow on, so that their position was not very satisfactory. So well did Killick bowl on Saturday morning that he took the remaining six wickets for 32, and 8urrey being 334 runs behind, of course, had to follow on. Baker was caught in the slips in Relf’s first over, and then Holland and Hayward made a t-plendid stand. At lunch time they were still together with the score at 137, and almost immediately after lunch Hayward reached his hundred for the second time in the match. He did not survive much longer, and fell with the total at 167, of which he claimed 112. He played a most attractive innings; and was batting for only an hour and forty minutes. His first 43 were made out of 60 in three-quarters of an hour. Holland also played a great game, and Moulder did well, but at half-past four o’clock there still remained more than a hundred runs to be knocked off before Sussex could be put in again. At this critical time Raphael and Lord Dalmeny played a most plucky game, and increased the score from 226 to 301 before they were parted, and their Btand was simply invaluable. Raphael kept up his wicket for two hours and a-half. Both men were dismissed before Surrey was quite safe, and there was still a possibility that Sussex might win. Rut Nice and btedman proved equal to the occasion, and the match was drawn. S ussex . C. B.

WARWICKSHIRE v. HAMPSHIRE. Played at Edgbaston on July 21, 22 and 23. Warwickshire won by an innings and 154 runs. Major Poore has not been long in showing that he can make runs despite his loog absence from first- class cricket. He was batting for two hours against Warwickshire on the first day of the match, and although in that time he only made 6.', he was evidently beginning to feel at home for tome time t efore he was out, and it is to be hoped that in the course of the next month he will play some brilliant cricket. Hampshire needs his help very tadly. Although the wicket was good the Hampshire men were not very successful with the bat, but Evans, Capt. Palmer, Bowell and btone all made useful scores. Warwickshire made 95 for the loss of one wicket 1efore stumps were drawn. Quaife played a splendid iunings on Friday, and was at the wickets for four hours and three-quarters, during which he made 193 by beautiful cricket. Several other men did very well indeed, and when stumps were drawn the total was 5'1 for nine wickets, or 306 runs on. Rain fell heavily ou Fridiy night, and the Hampshire men had to face a most unpleasant situation, for as it was obvious th*t the wicket would prove very difficult the Warwickshire captain at once declared the ianings closed, leaving Hampshire to make 806 runs with Hill absent ill. Rain fell twice during the day, but the Hampshire team is nowadays the sport of fortune, and it was not to be expected that sufficient rain would descend and sive them from defeat. The batsmen struggled travely against adversity, but in vain. H ampshire . First innings. Webb, b Byrne ..............18 Bowell, b Santall ... 26 E.

KENT v. SOMERSET. Played at Beckenham on July 21, 22 and 23. Kent won by eight wickets. Most of the Somersetshire men batted well on the first day of this match, but the highest and best innings was the 85 by H. 8. Poyntz, whose partner­ ship with Braund produced 119 runs for the eighth wicket. Braund was batting for nearly two hours for his 26, although he had a damaged wrist. Before stumps were drawn Kent lost three wickets for 89, Seymour teiog not out 47. On Friday the chief feature of the day’s cricket was the brilliant batting of J. R. Mason, the old Kent captain, who made 126, including twenty-three 4’s, in about two hours, by cricket which was delightful to watch. C. H. B. Maisham was a!so in great form, and was seen at his bet-t. Kent had a lead of 41 on the first innings, and before the day’s play ended ihey were in sight of victory, for they dismissed Somerset for 177, and then scored 59 runs without loss of the 137 required to win. In the Somersetshire second innings Poyntz again played first-rate cricket. On Saturday. Humphreys, Seymour and Munds all played so well that Kent gained a very easy victory. S ombbset .

For the first time for fourteen years the Gloucester­ shire team visited Dewsbury last; week. On the first day of the match MyerB, receiving some little assist­ ance from a wicket which allowed the ball to kick occasionally, was too good for most of the Glouces­ tershire men, and took eight wickets for 81 runs. Jessop played a very lively innings. He ought to have been stumped soon after he went in, and then for half aa hour he made the Yorkshire bowlers uncomfortable. In tbe course of his iuniugs he made 20 off two oonseoutive overs from Ringroje, who reappeared in the Yorkshire team after a month’s absence owing to a strain. When Yorkshire went
