Cricket 1905

214 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 22, 1905 not out 35, and Relf not out 10. So much rain fell on Saturday morning that the game was not con­ tinued until nearly three o’clock, when on a difficult wicket Sussex had to fight very hard to make the runs. Vine played with very great steadiness, and it was not a little due to his ability to keep up an end that his county eventually pulled the match out of the fire; he was batting for two hours and a-half. Leach made a veiy useful 21 at a critical time. When only two wickets remained in hand 19 runs were still required, hut C. L. A. Smith and Woodhams played with great pluck, and made the runs. Braund again bowled well. S omerset . First innings. Second innings.

KENT. Played at Old Trafford on June 15, 16 & 17. Lancashire won by eight wickets. Greatly weakened by the absence of A. C. Maclaren and Tvldesley, who were playing at Lord’s, J,anca- shire nevertheless more than held their own on the first day of this match, scoring 139 for the loss of three wickets against a total of 188 made by their opponents. The wicket was fiery, but although runs were always made under difficulties, several batsmen distinguished themselves. The best innings of the Kent side was the 46 by C. H. B. Marsham, but Humphreys, A. P. Day, Huish and Fairservice all made useful scores. It will be noticed from the score that two wickets were thrown away. Lanca­ shire lost two wickets for 30, but Sharp and Spooner were in good form and afterwards Heap played a good not-out innings of 27. Sharp was not out 62, and the unfinished partnership between him and Heap produced 72 runs in an hour. On Friday Heap and Sharp continued their partnership until it had produced 133 in a little less tnan two hours. Poidevin did not make a long stay, but Hornby was in brilliant form. He took his chances and was missed several times, but his resolute hitting demoralised the bowlers ; he was only at the wickets an hour for his 83. Sharp just managed to reach three figures for the first time this year after batting for two hours and three quarters. Kermode and Findlay made runs quickly and at three o’clock the innings came to an end, Lancashire having a lead of 185. When Kent went in again Dillon, having split one of his fingers in fielding a ball, was unable to bat. Several men made useful scores, but the high­ est innings was 40, and there seemed very little chance at any time during the innings that a suffi­ ciently large total would be made to give any pros­ pect of victory. It seemed likely that the"match would be finished on Friday evening, but Fairservice and Fielder kept up their wickets, and when stumps were drawn eight wickets were down for 185, so that the innings’ defeat was saved. On Saturday rain fell unceasingly until it began to appear that Kent would after all make a draw, but at about half-past four it was possible to resume the game, and by five o’clock the match was over.

Played at Leicester on June 15, 16, and 17 . Abandoned. For this match Surrey had to do without the assistance of Hayward, and were thus greatlv handicapped. On the other hand, C. E. de Trafford had hurt his knee during the Australian match, and was unable to appear for Leicestershire. Surrev lost Hobbs with the total at 25, and then Hayes and Baker played so well that they seemed to have obtained a mastery of the bowling. The score was taken to 77 without further loss, and then, for the first time in the match, the ball was given to Odell who m a few overs completely changed the appear­ ance of the game. He dismissed Hayes, who had shown excellent cricket in his innings of 32, and in a brief space of time before the luncheon interval he also disposed of Holland, Davis, Lord Dalmeny, and Nice. At lunch six wickets were down for 117, and aftenva,rds.Save useful assistance to Baker, who had been playing admirable cricket, the total only came to 174. Baker was batting for two hours and three-quarters for his faultless 90, and his hits included sixteen 4’s. Leicestershire began their innings at 4 o’clock, and the score when stumps were drawn was 110 for six wickets. Wood and Knight batted well, but Lees and Knox always held the upper hand. Knight was not out 36 at the end of the day. On Friday Jayes and Odell put on 47 runs in little more than half an hour, and Leicester­ shire had a lead of 13 on the first innings. Jayes carried out his bat for 50, his highest score in county cricket. Before lunch Surrey lost Hobbs and Hayes for 45 runs, and were thus only 33 runs on. But afterwards Baker and Holland greatly improved matters. They were together for an hour and a half, and increased the score by 92 before Holland was bowled for 56, an innings which included a fine drive for six, and several other powerful hits. Another partnership of 92 runs between Davis and Baker placed Surrey in an excellent position. The runs were made in a little more than three quarters of an hour, Davis in par­ ticular hitting with great force. When stumps were drawn the total was 314 for six, Surrey being thus 301 runs on. Baker, who carried his bat for 128, was at the wickets for about four hours, and his sturdy resistance to the bowling was of inestimable advantage to his side. Owing to rain there was no play on Saturday. S urrey . First innings. Second innings. Hobbs, c V., b R.
