262 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J uly 13, 1905 THE AUSTRALIANS. THE HAMPSHIRE MATCH. ( n i n e t e e n t h o f t h e t o u r .) Played at Southampton on July 6, 7 and 8. Australians won by an innings and 112 runs. One of the weakest teams ever put in the field by Hampshire gave a much better account of itself against the Australians than very many better teams have done when the Australians have batted first on a perfect wicket. In the absence of Hesketh- Prichard, the Hampshire bowling, never very strong, was greatly weakened, and no one could have been surprised that the Australians made a large total—it would have been much more surprising if they had made a small one. The innings of the Australians consisted of a series of brilliant performances. Three individual hundreds were made, and a fourth was only missed by 8 runs. Yet but for a large number of missed catches and sheer bad luck, Hampshire might have dismissed their powerful opponents for a very much smaller score At the beginning of the game Duff was twice missed off Persse, but he did not profit by this good fortune. Trumper was in his most brilliant and attractive form, and Hill was at his best. When he had made 22 Hill was bowled by Persse, but the bails were not removed—a piece of misfortune for Hampshire which was overwhelm­ ing, for Hill was not disposed of until he had made 115. The chief feature of the day’s batting was un­ doubtedly the innings of 92 by Trumper. He vvas absolutely master of the situation, and everything came alike to him until, when he had made 92, he evidently began to think about the hundred, or perhaps the two hundred, which was in store for him. He then began to play with caution, and this was his undoing. His runs were made in an hour and a quarter, and his partnership with Hill pro­ duced 123 in an hour. By the time that he was out the bowling had no life in it, and it was only a question of how many the Australians might make. Hill and Noble made 108 in an hour and ten minutes in partnership. Noble was in form, but Armstrong was out when he was getting very dangerous, and Hopkins was bowled for a duck’s egg. Towards the end of the day Gregory trounced the worn-out bowling, and was not out 106, while Gehrs was not out 32. Total, 513 forsix wickets. On Friday the Hampshire bowling was knocked about by Gregory and Gehrs, and Cotter scored 47—all the runs for the eight wicket—in five-and-twenty minutes. Although he was severely punished, Persse bowled very well indeed, and his bad luck in the way of dropped catches was quite remarkable. Mead, a slow left-hand bowler, did quite well enough to raise hopes as to his future. He also batted in excellent form, and played the bowling with ease. Captain Greig, who had a much harder task than the Australian batsman, played a great innings, and the Hampshire tail showed that the bowling could be hit. But although the home team made a score which would have looked well in an ordinary match, it was as nothing against the Australian score, and a follow on was necessary. Before stumps were drawn Hampshire made 10 for one wicket, and on Saturday prolonged the match well into the after­ noon. Hill and Bowell knocked the bowling all over the field, the former reaching his 50 in fifty minutes, and the latter in an hour. Stone ably defended his wicket for two hours and a quarter. On the whole, Hampshire gave asatisfactory account of themselves. A ustralians . A ustralians . V.T.

DERBYSHIRE. Played at Nottingham on July 6, 7 and 8. Notts won by eight wickets. At the end of the first day in this match Notts had much the best of the situation, for they had scored 160 for the loss of a wicket against a total of 248 by Derbyshire. Most of the Derbyshire team made runs, but there was no outstanding score, and no batsmau ev5r attained a mastery over the bowling. For Notts, Jones and Iremonger put up 1U0 for the first wicket, and when stumps were drawn Ire­ monger was not out 76, and George Gunn not out ■J 8 . On Friday Notts still had much the best of the game, for although they did not make as many runs as had been anticipated, they dismissed Derbyshire so easily in the second innings that they only had to make 91 to win, of which number they scored 35 for one wicket before stumps were drawn. In the Notts first innings Iremouger brought his score to 92, for which he was batting for two hours and twenty-five minutes, and Hemingway played a brilliant game. Hallam bowled remarkably well in the second inn­ ings of Derbyshire. On Saturday Notts easily hit off the 56 runs required to win. D erbyshire . First innings. L.G.

SU S S E X y. W A R W IC K S H IR E . Played at Brighton on J u ly 6, 7 and 8. Drawn. After having much the worst of this match, War­ wickshire, with their extensive experience of playing to bring about a drawn game, were able to extricate themselves with credit from an almost hopeless position. On the first day Sussex made 267 and dis­ posed of a Warwickshire wicket for 10. The wicket helped the bowlers, but several Sussex men gave a good account of themselves- - notably Relf and Goldie. Fry, who seems to be making a mistake in not going in first always, was unfortunate in the first innings. On Saturday, Cox and Relf bowled so well that Warwickshire were out for 150, and were thus 117 runs behind. In the Sussex second innings Fry was in splendid form, and made 100 in two hours and a half, his hits including thirteen 4’s. This is his seventh hundred of the season. When stumps were drawn, Sussex had made 180 for three wickets, and therefore began the next day with a lead of 297. Fry gave Warwickshire a sporting chance of winning on Saturday, for he declared when seven wickets were down,'leaving his oppo­ nents to make 369 in five hours. Warwickshire sturdily set themselves to make a draw. They began with 35 runs in au hour, and eventually had the satisfaction of staving off defeat. S ussex . First innings. Second innings. C.L. A.
