Cricket 1905

J u n k 15, 1905. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 205 Yorkshire in to bat for a quarter of an hour, getting a wicket for 10 runs, so that they ended the day with an advantage. Maclaren was not in luok’s way, but after he had been dismissed with the total at 4 Spooner and Tyldesley obtained a mastery over the bowling and put up 223 for the second wicket in two hours and three-quarters. Spooner, who had not been seen at his best this year, played his natural game, which is always most attractive to watch, and in the course of his splendid innings he hardly made a mistake; his hits, many of which were very power­ ful, included fifteen 4’s. On the other hand, Tyldesley was not happy in his treatment of the bowling for some time, and was very badly missed in the slips when his total was 14. But afterwards he played wonderfully good cricket and scored 134 in three hours and forty minutes, although he was never quite as aggressive as usual. After Spooner’s dismissal so great a change came over the game that when seven wickets were down the total was only 304. Poidevin and Findlay then made a most useful stand which produced 67 runs in about an hour. Haigh, who was not put on until five other men had bowled, was in great form, and although the wicket was so good, he always seemed difficult to play. Early in the morning on Tuesday rain fell, and the game was resumed three-quarters of an hour late. The score had been raised to 23 for two wickets when there was an interruption of another three- quarters of an hour owing to rain. At 33 the third wicket fell, but Jackson and Denton then made a determined resistance. But with the total at 50 there was another interruption because of rain. The turning point of the innings came when just after the hundred went up Brearley went on in place of Kermode. The wicket was becoming more and more difficult, and the ball flew about in such a manner as to be disconcerting to batsmen. When Denton was out after playing another fine innings wickets fell rapidly and Yorkshire had to follow-on, with disastrous results, for when the second innings had been in progress for less than half-an-hour Wilkinson, Jackson and Tunnicliffe were all out for 8 runs. Hirst and Denton then made a most plucky stand, but in the middle of the last over of the day Hirst, who is always in the wars nowadays, was struck on the head by a ball from Brearley, and stumps were pulled up. The Yorkshire score was 51 for three wickets, so that 215 runs were still required to save the innings defeat. Yesterday Yorkshire struggled gamely against fate, but although Myers and Rhodes both played a splen­ did game, they could not save their county from a severe defeat, with which the rain had a great deal to do.

L fter their experience at the Oval last week, when it was only possible to play cricket for a day and a-half, the Surrey players must have been surprised to find a perfect wicket and fine weather at Notting­ ham on Monday. But their side did not win the toss, and it speaks well for their bowling that they were able to prevent Notts from making more than 327 during the day. At the beginning of the game Surrey had a piece of good luck, Jones being bowled by Lees without scoring. Fortune did not favour them again until the last ball of the match had been bowled, when in trying to get an extra run which would make J. Gunn’s score a hundred, Staunton was run out. For the second wicket Iremonger and G. Gunn, neither of whom was comfortable at first, put up 126 in two hours and a-quarter. John Gunn played very steady cricket during the first part of his innings, and it was not until he had been at the wickets for nearly two hours that he reached his fifty. Afterwards, in the course of an hour, he was within a mn of doubling this total. So slow was the cricket that at five o’clock the total was only 194, but some very effective hitting by Staunton and J. Gunn at the end of the day, when the bowlers were becoming tired, put a different appearance on the game. This partnership realised 70 inns in the last thirty-five minutes. When stumps were drawn Notts had lost six wickets, and J. Gunn was not out 99. The Surrey fielding was excellent all through the day, and Lees bowled with great steadiness. John Gunn did not add to his score on Tuesday, and the last four wickets were obtained very quickly, the pitch being slow on account of heavy rain. Surrey had a difficult task before them. They had to face bowlers who derived considerable help from the wicket, and on the whole they acquitted them­ selves exceedingly well. Hayward played another splendid innings, and was within twenty of his hundred when he was ran out by his partner- he was at the wickets for two hours and a half, and hit eleven 4’s. The only other men who managed to distinguish themselves were Davis and Lees. Notts had a lead of 147, and on going in a second time lost two wickets for 66 before stumps were drawn so that their position seemed impregnable. Yester­ day Notts made runs as quickly as possible, and at twenty minutes past one the innings was declared closed. Surrey had to make 333 in four hours on a difficult wicket, and, like Yorkshire, they found their task impossible. Hobbs played very well indeed, and towards the end of the innings Lees hit with determination. N otts . First innings. A. O. Jones, b Lees .......... 0 Iremonger, b Knox ..........76 Gunn (G.), c.

GEORGE BURTON’ S BENEFIT. Played at Lord’s on June 12, 13 and 14. Middlesex won by an innings and 70 runs. On the morning of Whit Monday, there did not seem any chance that any play could take place at Lord’s, but for all that a large crowd, estimated at 6,000, went to the ground on the chance of seeing some cricket. It was not until half-past four that the game began, and it was then played under most dispiriting circumstances, for the ground was in a shockingly bad state. But play was continued until a quarter-past six, when rain came down again heavily. Although the bowlers and fieldsmen were greatly handicapped they gave an excellent account of themselves, and only two of the Somersetshire men who batted could make anything of Hearne and Tarrant, the former taking his first wicket for Middlesex in his first over. Johnson played a somewhat remarkable innings. At first he scored quickly and made 30 out of the first 33runs, but after this he was a long time in making the remaining three runs which completed his innings. Martyn played the most attractive innings of the day, scoring his 87 at the rate of a run a minute, and at one time hitting Hearne for three foul's off suc­ cessive balls. There was a good crowd at Lord’s on Tuesday, but they had to wait until about a quarter past two before the game was resumed. Sellick, who had batted for nearly half-an-hour on Monday, without scoring, was promptly out lbw to Hearne, and the innings closed for 92. On the difficult wicket Middlesex lost Warner, Trott, and E. A. Beldam, very soon, but Bosanquet and Stogdon made a useful stand, and later Tarrant and Palmer improved matters. The partnership which followed between Tarrant and Hunt was most attractive to watch, and the two men put on 73 inns in three- quarters of an hour, both making some splendid hits. The innings ended abruptly, Cranfield disposing of three wickets in an over. Somerset had to face a balance of 117, and in thecourse of lifty minutes’ play lost six wickets for 29, Tarrant taking five of them. They did no better yesterday, and in half-an-hour the game was over. S omerset . First innings. Second innings. P. R. Johnson, b Tarrant... 33 b Hearne .......... F. M.
