Cricket 1905

J une 1, 1905 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. 165 ESSEX v. LEICESTERSHIRE. Played at Leyton on May 25, 26 and 27. Leicestershire won by an innings and 105 runs. There were hopes that after their fine performance against Derbyshire, at the beginning of last week, the Essex men would give a good account of them­ selves for the rest of the season, but on the first day of the Leicestershire match they broke down badly after Fane and Carpenter had made a good begin­ ning. Perrin was again in the team, but he, like McGahey, failed to reach double figures, and the tail could not play Coe and R. T. Crawford. A very different display was given by Leicestershire, who, when stumps were drawn, had a score of 281 to their credit and had only lost two Avickets. C. E. de Trafford and C. J. B. Wood put up 154 for the first wicket in an hour and a half, De Trafford making 103 of them by splendid cricket. He made his first 50 in half an hour out of a total of 84, and later, after being missed in the long field, he hit 17 off an over from Tremlin; fourteen 4’s were among his hits. Wood missed his hundred by three runs, and was at the wickets for three hours. Whitehead (69) and Odell played out time. Knight played excellent cricket on the next morning and Coe again showed that as a batsman he has to be reckoned with. He drove with great power and was run out when within 17 of his hundred. Essex had to go in against a balance of 348 and scored 214 for six wickets before stumps were drawn, thus still requir­ ing 134 to save the innings’ defeat. Fane, Carpen­ ter, McGahey and Gillingham all played very well indeed, but Perrin once more failed to find his form. Gillingham was not out 49, an admirable innings in every way. On Saturday the match was over after about half an hour’s play, Gillingham carrying his bat for a fine innings of 57. E ssex . First innings. Second innings. F. L.

Played at Cambridge on May 25, 26 and 27. Drawn. Cambridge completed their first innings just before stumps were drawn on the first day. Young played admirable cricket for three hours and twenty ™"utes, hitting eighteen 4’s, and his partnership with Keigwin produced 105 runs. Towards the end the day McDonell hit hard for 78, of which 56 were made by 4’s. Nearly all the Gloucestershire men pla.ved well on Friday, but the large individual score which was required was not forthcoming. The only two outstanding innings were those of Main- price and Wrathall. With a lead of 135 Cambridge made 64 for the loss of Koigwin before stumps were drawn, and were thus 199 runs on. Young played a fine game on Saturday, and was within nine runs of making two separate hundreds in the match. He was batting for two hours and a half, and hit fifteen 4’s. When the Cambridge innings was declared Gloucestershire were left to make 403 to win, and although at times there seemed a prospect that they would not be able to play out time, they succeeded in their object with two wickets in hand.

Played at Edgbaston on May 25, 26 and 27. Drawn. A fterbatting all the previous day on the Oval, War­ wickshire had the good fortune to win the toss against Yorkshire, which, as the wicket was in good order, while Hirst and Jackson were absent from the Yorkshire side, seemed to give them a fine oppor­ tunity of distinguishing themselves with the bat. But they can hardly be said to have made the best use of it, for when stumps were drawn they had only managed to score 279 runs for the loss of eight wickets. The chief feature of the Warwickshire innings was the batting of Devey, who, after a long absence from the team, reappeared with great success. He went in second wicket down with the total at 69, and was batting for three hours and a quarter, during which he scored 125 runs by fine cricket, his hits including sixteen 4’s, many of which were made by fine drives. Kinneir, Quaife and Lilley all did well, but most of the team could make little headway against Rhodes, *./ho bowled exceed­ ingly well. The Warwickshire innings was soon concluded on Friday, and thanks chiefly to two fine displays by Denton and Tunnicliffe, Yorkshire put up 294 for six wickets before stumps were drawn. The partnership between these two men produced 203 in a little more than three hours. But with the exception of Denton and Tunnicliffe, the Yorkshire- men who batted were not seen to advantage. Lord Hawke played a useful innings on Saturday and Yorkshire had a lead of 48. But as each side had taken a long time to make runs there was practically no chance of finishing the match, and as the wicket wore well to the end Warwickshire easily brought about a drawn game. Quaife played a very fine innings. When stumps were drawn Warwickshire, with six wickets in hand, were 190 runs on, so that they had somewhat the best of the drawn game. W arwickshire .

Played at Aldershot on May 25, 26, and 27. Surrey won by seven wickets. The Hampshire committee are not likely to regret their experiment of playing Surrey at Aldershot, for a large crowd watched the game. On the first day Surrey, for whom Strudwick re-appeared, made 475 for the loss of nine wickets, and thus made them­ selves pretty secure against defeat. Hayward played another fine innings, in which he showed all his usual resource and skill. His partnership with Baker produced 104 in an hour and a-half. Baker played a very sound and steady game, being at the wickets for nearly three hours for his 62, but neither Hobbs nor Hayes met with good fortune. After the partnership between Baker and Hayward was broken things did not go very well for Surrey, although Holland was playing a good game, and seven wickets were down for 271. Holland was then joined by Lees, and the two men completely altered the appearance of the game. They were together for only fifty minutes, but during that time the score was increased by 131 runs. Holland was then out, after playing splendid cricket for two hours and three-quarters, and hitting a 6, a 5, and seventeen 4’s. Lees continued to hit with vigour, and was still unconquered with 124 to his credit when stumps were drawn. During the last hour and a-half of the day’s cricket no fewer than 202 runs were made. Lees was dismissed on Friday after adding six to his score, his entire innings having lasted for an hour and forty minutes, during which he hit no fewer than four 6’s and fifteen 4’s. For Hampshire Major Bradford played beautiful cricket for a couple
