Cricket 1904

310 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A ug . 4, 1904 » do very little. Lancashire had the very useful lead of 132 when they went in again, and although Spooner was out for a duck’s egg for the second time in the match. Tyldesley, Hallows, and Maclaren all played a bold and plucky game, with the result that when the innings came to an end Worcestershire had to go in to make 215 to win. This, on a difficult wicket, seemed almost an impossibility, and it was not surprising that three wickets fell for 24 before stumps were drawn. On Saturday the weather was beautifully tine, and the effect of the sun on the wicket was so marked that Worcestershire had no chance of pulling off the match. Burns again batted well, and Pearson and Wheldon made useful scores, but after an hour and a half Lancashire won with the utmost ease. L a n cash iri First innings.

NOTTS. Played at W elbeck Abbey on July 28, 29 & 30 Abandoned. So much rain fell before this match that it was found impossible to begin play until three o’clock. Notts then went in and made lb7 for nine wickets before stumps were drawn. Iremonger was missed when he had only made a single, but was out imme­ diately afterwards. Jones and J. Gunn then brought the total to 100, the former p aying a determined and attractive same, hitting very hard at times. On the other hand, G. Gunn was content lo keep up his wicket and was an hour and a half in »coring his 24 rnns. The total was not increased when the game was resumed on Friday morning. Warren haa an excellent analysis. When Derbyshire went in they found Wass in great form, and although L. G. Wright and C. A. Ollivierre began the innings well, no one but Ashcroft made a good score afterwards. In the course of the innings Ollivierre drove a ball very hard to cover point, with the result that Jones split his hand badly and had to retire from the game. Notta, with a lead of 60, did badly in their second Warren 18 notout... Day, lbw, b Warren .......... 1 G. T. Branston, c Morton, b Warren ........................

SOMERSET. Played at Bath on July 28, 29 and 30. Abandoned. There was no advantage in winning the toss in this match, but it would doubtless have been very unwise of the Somerset captain to put 8ussex in first, although Ranjitsinhji was not playing. As it was Somerset did very well indeed to score 216 on a wicket which, atflr8t, was very difficult, although it improved later in the day. Cox bowled for Sussex exceedingly well, but with bad luck, although he took five wickets at a 6mall cost. The 47 by L. C. H. Palairet was a beautiful innings, which was played when the bowling was most difficult and when wickets were falling f^st. The tail played up wonderfully well, and nearly doubled the total made for the first five wickets. Martyn, as usual, hit hard, and Robson, who carrie i his bat for 48, followed his example, once hitting Cox out of the ground. Braund was unable to play on account of his injured wrist. Sussex went in for an hour and ten miuutes, and so finely did Fry hit that the fifty weut up after the innings had been in progress for twenty-five minutes. Fry was in such bp’endid form that it came as a surprise when he was cl^an bowled by Robson for 42. with the total at 66. Killick was also bowled by Robson, and whea stumps were drawn Vine was not out 39 and Relf not out 10. Not a ball was bowled after the first day, for so much rain fell that cricket was out of the question. S o m ersetsh ire . L. C. H. Palairet, c Smith, b Cox . ... 47 Maj >r W. C.

On the first day of this match Marlborough had much the best of matters, for they scored 868. and dismissed four of their opponents for 127. For this good position they were largely indebted to their captain, A. P. S ott, who, going in first, made 165 in four hours by excellent all-round cricket, his hits in­ cluding thirteen 4’s. But Ireland and Butterworth also deserved we'l of their side, both playing a very good game indeed. The partnership between Scott and Butterworth for the first wicket produced 163 in an hour and three-quarters, and there was not much sting left in the bowling when they were separated. At lunch time the score was 214 for two wicket*, and Scott only required a single to make his hundred. The partnership for the third wicket between Scott and Ireland was responsible for 140 runs in about an hour and a half. The Marlborough tail did very little, for Tripp, who had previously bowled lobs without any effect, went on again with slow round arm, and took five out of the last seven wickets for 30 runs. There was nothing remarkable in the batting of the Rufcbeims until Chadwick and Burton came together for the fifth wicket, when the bowling was fairly mastered. When stumps were drawn at half-past six instead of seven, on account of tbe bad light, Chadwick was not out 21, and Burton not out 6:3, tbe unfinished partnership having produced 86 runs in about an hour. On the next morning these two men remained together until theirentire partner­ ship had increased the total by 145. They were both dismissed at the same total, 18->, after being together for an hour and fifty minutes. There were now hopes that, thanks to their fine play, their school would easily save the follow on, but the tail did very little, Scott taking the last three wickets for 10 runs. In the follow on Burton again played fine cricket, among his hits being four on-drives to the boundary off successive balls from Scott. Sloman also played an excellent game, but the large individual lotal which was required was not forthcoming, although the innings defeat was saved. Marlborough had to make 67 to win, and so boldly did Milton hit that the runs were bowled off for the loss of one wicket. M a rlbo rou g h . A. P. Scott, b Gordon 165 H. M.
