J u n e 8, 1905. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 189 THE AUSTRALIANS. THE SECOND MATCH AGAINST YORKSHIRE. TENTH OF THE TOUR. Played at Bradford on June 5, 6 and 7. Drawn. In this match the Australians had to appearwithout Trumper, who has not yet sufficiently recovered from his accident to be able to play. They also left out Gehrs, Newland and McLeod. On the other hand neither the Hon. F. S. Jackson nor Lord Hawke played for Yorkshire, Mr. H. Wilkinson captaining the team. Yorkshire won the toss and when they had scored 324 on a good wicket, they proceeded to dismiss three of the Australians in a quarter of an hour. For Yorkshire, Grimshaw, who seems to be improving greatly, played a stubborn game for two hours and a-half, and his innings of 40 runs was of the greatest service to his side, although it was natur­ ally tedious to watch. Grimshaw and H. Wilkinson put up 70 for the first wicket, Wilkinson playing an admirable game in every way. Yorkshiremen owe a debt of gratitude to the Australians for missing Denton no fewer than four times during his innings of 52. Tunnicliffe and Hirst both played well, but the best performance of the day was that of Rhodes, who in the course of an hour and a-half made 70 by perfect cricket, playing all the bowling with the ease of a master. Until nearly the end of the innings Ootter met with no success at all, but when he was put on for the last time he bowled'four overs for 11 runs and three wickets. Noble bowled very well indeed, but met with remarkably bad luck. Laver had 60 runs hit off him and did not take a wicket. The Australians had to bat for a quarter of an hour, and Darling altered the order of going in, with disastrous results. Ringrose began the bowling for Yorkshire and with his second ball dismissed Howell. At the other end Rhodes in his first over made Kelly play on, and in the second over from Ringrose, Laver was caught in the slips. Thus three wickets were down for two runs when stumps were drawn. On Tuesday the weather was fine but cold, and a cross wind helped the bowlers. For some time the Aus­ tralians were quite unequal to the situation. With the total at 12 Hopkins was bowled by Ringrose, and at 20 Hill was out in the same way. Thus, although the wicket was excellent, five men were out for this small score. At 37 Gregory was caught at the Avicket, and at 51 Duff skied a ball and was caught at cover point—seven wickets down. It was not to be expected that the Yorkshiremen could dispose of the remaining men so easily, for on this occasion Armstrong, Noble and Darling were in the tail. Noble had already settled down, and Armstrong began to play fine cricket, but he was missed in the slips at 93, soon after Ringrose, who had taken six of the seven wickets, had been replaced by Myers. At lunch time the two men had increased the score by 68 in an hour, and as they made 14 off the first two overs after the interval, it was evident that a good score was still possible. But at 153, when the partner­ ship had produced 102 runs in an hour and twenty- five minutes, Armstrong was caught and bowled by Ringrose, who after the follow-on had been saved, also disposed of Noble and Darling. Noble’ssplendid effort was entirely worthy of his great reputation. His runs were made at a most critical time, and he defied the Yorkshire bowlers for two hours. Ring­ rose had the remarkable analysis of 25 overs and a ball, 3 maidens, 76 runs, 9 wickets. When Yorkshire went in again with nearly two hours and a half before them, Wilkinson was out with the total at 7, and then Grimshaw and Denton remained together until five minutes before time, the partnership pro­ ducing 150 runs. As in the first innings, Grimshaw played a very careful game, and was content to leave Denton to make most of the runs. Noble, for the fifth.time in the match,was unfortunate in having Denton missed off him, but after his escape, early in his innings, Denton played a delightful game, making the bowling look particularly easy. When stumps were drawn he was not out 102,and the total was 159 for two wickets, Yorkshire thus being 275 runs on. On the day’s play the Yorkshiremen seemed a class above the Australians. Yesterday, Denton continued to play the bowling with ease. When the innings was closed his total was 153 and he was still unconquered; he made his runs in three hours and three-quarters, and his fine innings included nineteen 4’s. As it had been arranged to draw stumpsat five o’clock, the Australians had only three hours and a half in which to make 383 runs. Naturally they went for a draw, and although when three wickets were down the total was only 73, with two hours and a half remaining for play, Armstrong, and Noble, as in the first innings, played a great game, and at half-past four stumps were drawn.

B. FRY. Played at Trent Bridge on June 5, 6 and 7- Sussex won by an innings and 215 runs. Although there was no rain to interrupt play at Nottingham on Monday, Notts gave a most dis­ appointing and tedious display on an excellent wicket. Their innings lasted for four hours, but it only produced a total of 192. The only outstanding innings were those of Iremonger and Hardstaff, the former making 60 in a couple of hours. Sussex had to bat for fifty minutes, and Fry and Vine made the bowling look very simple. When stumps were drawn they were still together, with the total at 64. Fry was not out 46, and Vine not out 18. On Tuesday the weather remained fine, but exceedingly cold, and there was a keen wind. Vine was run out when the total was 110; he had batted for an hour and three- quarters for his very useful 29. Killick followed his example, and played with great steadiness, leaving it to Fry to make nearly all the runs. The partner­ ship for the second wicket produced 101 in an hour and a-half. Relf then gave most efficient help to Fry, who was in brilliant form, and playing the bowling with the greatest ease. It was not until the total was 323tthat the partnership was broken, Relf being then caught in the slips. At about half-past five, Fry, who had brought his total to 233, was at last dismissed. He had played almost perfect cricket for about six hours, but he ought to have been caught and bowled when he had made 196. His runs were made out of a total* :>f 396. At the end of the day Sussex, with 469 for eight wickets, were 277 runs on. Yesterday Sussex declared without attempting to increase their score, and on a wicket which was affected by rain Notts broke down badly. N otts . First innings. A. O.

It was only possible to play about an hour and three-quarters in this match on Monday owing to heavy rain. Somerset won the toss and made 117 for the loss of a wicket before stumps were drawn, Braund being not out 48 and Capt. Poyntz not out 60. On Tuesday the rain was so persistent that there was no play. Yesterday the Somerset men made runs quickly on a difficult wicket, Woods hitting with great power. Poyntz was batting two hours and a jhalf for his fine innings of 80. When the innings was {declared with nine wickets down. Hampshire did[very well, thanks largely to a brilliant innings by Sprot. But after 131 runs had been put up in about an hour and a half, rain again fell and the game was abandoned. S omerset . Hardy, b Persse......... 0 Braund, c Sprot, b Evans .................48 H. S.
