Cricket 1905

M a y 11, 1905 (JRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP TliE GAME. 117 the sort of man to follow Abel’s example. Rather, if lie succeeds, he will be another Walter Read, in which case Surrey men will contentedly continue to look round for the coming Abel. It is not too much to say that Hobbs, in his lirst appearance for the county, pleased the best critics as much as A. C. Maclaren pleased the critics when he made his debut for Lancashire, and there is really no reason why he should not become a great cricketer in the course of a year or two. He can hit, and he has a strong defence. He can keep his head, and does not seem to be a man who will be ruined by the flattery which is the undoing of so many promising young players. But Surrey men will earnestly hope that, if he happens to fail three or four times, he will not be made to feel that he is playing for his place, for they have often had occasion to remember the old proverb about killing the goose with the golden egg. Hobbs scored 155 out of 249 without making a mistake, and among his hits were three 5’s (run out) and nineteen 4’s. Baker played an excellent innings, and his partnership with Hobbs produced 175 runs in ail hour and forty minutes. Towards the end of the innings Nice hit with great power, scoring 16 in an over from McGahey, and the same number in the following over from Reeves; he was only at the wickets for a little over luilf-an-hour for his 66. Lord Dalmeny played very good cricket indeed. Essex had to make 399 to win, a not impossible task on a good wicket, but when stumps were drawn they had lost Fane, Carpenter and Perrin for 112, so that their chances of success were not great. Fane played admirable cricket, and McGahey was not out 27 at the end of the day. On Saturday Essex soon lost McGahey, and there was then no likelihood that they could pull off the match. Freeman and Reeves played well, but Lees and Nice were again in good form with the ball, and soon after one o’clock Surrey had won their first victory tliis season. S urrey . First innings.

OXFORD SENIORS’ MATCH. Played at Oxford on May 4, 5, and 6. Mr. Whately’s Side won by an innings and The most interesting part about this match was the fast bowling of N. R. Udal, the old Winchester College boy, who took twelve wickets in the match for 65, an excellent record. Some notes about him will be found in “ Gossip.” M r . C artw right ’ s S ide . First innings.

Played at Taunton on May 4, 5and 6. York­ shire won by an innings and 224 runs. Tho team which represented Somerset in this match did not seem likely to be able to hold its own against such a powerful side as Yorkshire, and no one could have been surprised when on the first day Yorkshire ran up a total of 380 for the loss of seven wickets. Lord Hawke, av I io returned to Eng­ land on the day before the match, went straight to Taunton, and despite his wantof practice he showed sound cricket in making his 15not out. Denton and Tunnicliffe put on 161 for the third Yorkshire wicket, and later in the day Rhodes made 97 not out in two hours and ten minutes. On the next day Lord Hawke and Rhodes played admirable cricket, and the entire partnership between them produced. 151 runs in an hour and a-half. Rhodes, for the first time in his career, brought his score to over 200, although last year)he waswithin four of his second hundred against Worcestershire. He was at the wic­ kets for just under four hours for his 201,and his hits included a 6 and thirty-one 4’s. With a total of 549 to face, Somerset in their first innings failed against the bowling of Rhodes and Hirst, but in the follow- on they began fairly well, making 94 for two wickets N. Miller, c M. S.
