Cricket 1904

3?4 CRICKEt: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. S e pt . 1, 1904 HAMPSHIRE v. WARW ICKSHIRE. P layed at Bournem outh on A ugust 26,27 & 28. Hampshire w on b y 40 runs. On a slow •wicket, which helped the bowlers, Hampshire were batting nearly the whole of the first day for 248 runs. By far tbe best inniDgs was the 75 by Sprot, who, after he had once settled down, played a beautiful game; he was at the wickets for an hour and three-quarter?. Major Poore, who has not succeeded this season in gettiog back his old form, played careful cricket for 25, and later in the innings Stone kept up his wicket for two hours for a most useful 56. Warwickshire had a few minutes batting befjre stumps were drawn, and scored three runs without loss. On Friday some very interesting cricket was seen. On a difficult wicket most of the Warwickshire men made useful scores, but the only outstanding innings were the 41 by W. G. Quaife and the 43 by Lilley. Hampshire were in the satisfactory position of leading by 81 on the first innings, and by the time that stumps were drawn they seemed to have a fair chance of victory, for they were 253 runs on with four wickets in hand. Sprot again played a splendid inniDgs, ard was again run out when he was rapidly approaching his hundred. Johnston played a good game, and at the end of the day Stone made some good hits in his 24 not out. The remaining four wickets were foon disposed of on Stturday, and Warwickshire had to go in to make 269 to win. They made a great effort for victory, and Kinneir held his own for four hours and a quarter, while Lilley played an excellent innings, helping Kinneir to put on 87 for the fourth wicket. While this partnership lasted there was always a chance that Warwickshire might win. But seven wickets were down for 178, and although Kinneir and Moorhouse kept together for fifty minutes, Hampshire succeeded in gaining their second victory of the season. H ampshire . First innings.

MIDDLESEX. Played at Brighton on August 25, 26, and 27. Middlesex won by nine wickets. The luck in winning the toss practically decided the issue of this match, for whereas Middlesex were batting all the first day on an easy wicket, their bowlers had the Sussex men more or less at their mercy on the following day. Warner and Douglas made a good beginning for Middlesex, the latter showing very good form indeed in making his 68. But four wickets were down at lunch time for 111, and although Bosanquet hit brilliantly for 47 after­ wards, white Wells played a useful innings, seven wickets were down for 189. Macgregor and More then came to the rescue of their side, and in the course of an hour and five minutes’ attractive batting increased the sc >re by 103. More hit tremendously hard, and reachei his 50 in three-quarters of an hour, while Macgregor made several fiae strokes. There was a heavy fall of rain during the night, and the wicket on Friday exactly suited Bosanquet, who, being at his very bett, completely demoralised the Sussex batsmen. Iu the first innings Fry made the top score, but as it was only 22 it wasnot of much use to his side. In the follow-on he played splendid cricket, until he ran out Vine when the first wicket had produced 75 runs in an hour. Both men were playing so well that they looked like putting up a big score for the first wicket. After this piece of good fortune things went sp’endidly for Middlesex. Fry was beautifully caught oy Douglas in the long field off a hard and low drive. Killick was in great form, while Raojitsinhji played delightful cricket for an hour and ten minutes, and speedily compelled the Middlesex captain to take Bosanquet off. But as soon as Ranjitsinbji was out Bosanquet reappeared, with disastrous results to Sussex, who just before the time for drawing stumps were all out. Killick, who played one of his best innings of the year, was at the wickets for two hours and a quarter, and during his partnership with Leach 73 runs were put on in a little over half an hour, Leach hitting with great determination. Bosanquet was expensive in this innings, but he got the batsmen out, which was, after all, the main object when Middlesex had such a long lead in the first inniD gs. Thanks chiefly to him Middlesex only had to mane 39 runs to win on Saturday, and although Warner was bowled first ball Beldam and Douglas hit off the runs in twenty minutes. M id d le se x . P. F.

Played at Old Trafford on August 25, 26 and 27. Lancashire won by 131 runs. Thanks chiefly to fine cricket by Tvldesley and Poidevin. who put up 170 runs in an hour and three- quarters for the third wicket, Lancashire had some­ what the test of the game on the first day, for against their total of 28* Derbyshire ouly scoied 54 for the loss of two of the best men on the tide — Wright and Oilivi-rre. But on Friday Derbyshire played a very plucky game, and but for the fact that two m n were badly run out when they were com- for:a‘ ly set, the total might have been as l>irge as that of Lancashire, ins'eid of 69 behind it. Ash­ croft and Lawton both played excellent criciet. I i their second innings Lancashire ran up 204 for the loss of nine wickets before stumps were drawn, and were thus in an excellent position. The chief fea­ ture of the Lancashire batting was the splendid cricket played by Spooner and Hallows, who scored 161 of the runs between them. Hallows had to retire soon after he went in, hitting a full pitch into his face, b it later he resumed his innings, an 1 pltyed in sp’eadid form. His p .rtnership with Spooner realised 131 runs in 80 minutes. On Saturday the innings soon came to an end, but Derbyshire found the task of making 295 runs too difficult for them on a wicket which helped the t owlers. They began well enough, Wright, Ollivierre and 8torer all playing excellent cricket, but although at lun"h time tbe score was 96 for two wickets, the remainiog eight only added 67 runs. If Derbyshire had won ihe to?s they would very lively have been victorious. L an cash ire . First innings. Second innings. A C.
