Cricket 1905

158 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a y 25, 1905 LANCASHIRE v. WORCESTERSHIRE. Played at Aigburth on May 22, 23 and 24. Lancashire won by 97 runs. At the end of the first day’s play in this match, Lancashire were in a happy position, for against'their score of 348 Worcestershire could only put up 45 for four wickets, Brearlejr being in irresitible form. When Lancashire went in, Spooner was dismissed at 75, but Tyldesley and Maclaren then made a fine stand which, in an'hour and ten minutes, produced 106 runs. Maclaren was seen at his best, and he only just missed making his hundred. Poidevin; Hallows and Sharp all made good scores. On Tuesday H. K. Foster, W. E. C. Hutchings and Arnold were the only men to offer any resistance to the bowling, and the total was 183 behind that of Lancashire, although Maclaren preferred to send his own side in again. A bad beginning was made against the bowling of Burrows, who very speedily dismissed Maclaren, Spooner, Tyldesley and Garnett—a great feather in his cap. But Poidevin and Hallows again piayed well, and when seven wickets were down the total was 121. Kermode hit with great power, and astonished everbody by scoring 64 out of 87 in a little over an hour. When nine wickets were down Maclaren declared, leaving Worcestershire with half an hour to bat, but although Brearley bowled very fast, Pearson and Gaukrodgar, who went in first, kept their wickets intact. Yesterday Worcestershire had still to make 373 to win, and although they never looked like accomplishing their task they made a splendid fight, II. K. Foster playing a brilliant innings.

Essex won by an innings and 1 run. O 11 the first day of this match, Derbyshire quickly lost two wickets, but L. G. Wright and E. M. Ashcroft then made a most valuable stand, which produced 88 runs in an hour and a quarter, and paved the way for a remarkable innings by A. E. Lawton. In an hour Lawton made 50. Twenty minutes later his score was a hundred, and when, after compiling 112, he was out, he had been at the wickets for less than an hour and a half. His hitting was brilliant in the extreme. He made 18 off an over from Reeves—a drive over the scoring box and out of the ground for six, and three fours—and three fours off an over from McGahey; his entire innings included a six and 15 fours, lie received such valuable assistance from Warren that the partnership for the seventh wicket produced 117 in less than an hour. Essex had three-quartei-s of an hour’s batting, and lost Fane, Carpenter, Gillingham and Russell for 42. As Freeman had retired hurt, while Perrin was not playing, the outlook was gloomy in the extreme. There was a very different tale to tell on Tuesday. Freeman was able to continue his innings, but after he was dismissed at 65 the Derbyshire bowlers had a trying time, Turner and McGahey gradually wore them down, and by the time that the former was dismissed for an excellent 68, after helping McGahey to put on 167 in two hours and a quarterj the bowlers had but little life left in them. Reeves, Buckenham, and Tremlin all gave McGahey most useful assistance, and eventually Fane was able to declare the innings closed—a measure which on the previous evening would have seemed an impossi­ bility. McGahey went in first wicket down, with the score at 12, and was not out 8 overnight. He remained at the wickets for five hours and a half, and hit a 5 and forty-four 4’s. He was an hour and forty minutes in scoring his first fifty, but after this he made his mns much more rapidly. Finding that he could get plenty of loose balls to hit he played lialf-volleys with scrupulous care until he had reached his second hundred, when he made many beautiful drives. It was a fine innings, played when mns were wanted very badly indeed. McGahey’s score of 277 is the highest of his career in first-class cricket; his previous record score was 225 against Notts last year at Leyton. Derbyshire had to bat for three-quarters of an hour, and lost a wicket for 29. Yesterday Wright played a fine innings, but most of the team failed. Needham, when playing a fine game, was severely hurt by a ball from Bucken­ ham, and it was found that his arm was broken. D erbyshire . First innings. L. G.
