292 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J xtly 27, 1905. T H E A U S T R A L I A N S . T U K M A T C H A G A IN S T F IF T E E N OF S C O T L A N D : ( twknty - thikd of the tour .). Play d at Glasgow on July 20, 21 and 22. Drawn. Matches against odds were once numerous and popular, but of late they have fallen into disuse, and the Fifteen of Scotland match was therefore some­ thing of a novelty. The Australians left out Hopkins, Gregory, Armstrong and Noble, while the Scottish Fifteen only included three of the men who had played on the previous three days for Scotland at Edinburgh, making a drawn game with the Australians. After some rain in the night the bowlers were able to make the ball turn, and the Australians did not distinguish themselves against Nixon, the West of Scotland professional who used to be at Eastbourne. Nixon met with startling success in his second over, for with the fhst ball he bowled Duff and with the second had Cotter l.b.w. Until he tired he bowled uncommonly well, and he took six of the first seven wickets which fell, the other wicket falling to a run out. The Austra­ lian’s total came to 186. Scotland began their innings badly enough by losing three wickets for 27 runs, and when stumps were drawn three more men were out and the score was only 81. On Friday the Scottish innings ended for 159, and the Austra­ lians, with a lead of 57, made 230 for seven wickets when they went in again, so that they began play on Saturday 287 runs to the good. They declared at lunch-time, but thanks to showers and good play by several men the Fifteen played out time. J upp showed very sound defence for a couple of hours, and among his hits were a 6 and ten 4’s. A ustralians . First innings. Second innings. V. T.

SURREY v. YORKSHIRE. AN INNINGS OF 232 NOT OUT BY HIR8T. Flayed at the Oval on July 20, 21 and 22. \orkshire won by an innings and 108 runs. The excellence of the Surrey fielding, the difficulty found by the batsmen in getting the ball away, and the remarkable luck of the two men who made the stand of the day, were the subjects of many com­ ments during the innings of Yorkshire on Thursday last. So well did the bowlers stick to their work, although the wicket was fast and easy and the heat intense, that in the course of the day Yorkshire could only score 314 for eight wickets. For a time Surrey met with great success, and when four wickets were down, Knox and Lees each claiming two of them, the scoring board showed but 63 runs. Even in obtaining these Yorkshire had more than an ordinary share of good fortune, and many strokes, about which the batsmen knew nothing, were only just out of the reach of the field. When Jackson and Hirst came together the bowling was gradually worn down, although it was never really mastered. Neither of these two famous batsmen was at his best, and with ordinary luck Surrey would have dismissed both of them long before they became dangerous. But it was undoubtedly York­ shire’s day, and the fifth wicket did not fall until the total had been increased by 177 runs in two hours and three-quarters. Jackson was then caught at third man by Hobbs for 87, after batting for three hours. He began his innings with such caution that he was nearly three-quarters of an hour in making his first dozen runs, and although he made many fine hits, including a 5 and ten 4’s, he was always playing a defensive game—a good game, but hardly a great one. The moment that the partner­ ship wad broken the fortunes of the game changed, and the bowlers began to get the upper hand again. Rhodes was out before another run had been made, and Haigh and Myers only made 7 between them. But Hirst survived, and when stumps were drawn he was not out 139, for which he had been batting for about three hours and three-quarters. Lees was obliged to retire after the tea interval owing to lame­ ness. During the day Lord Dalmeny was frequently applauded for brilliant work in the field, and, inaeed, the whole team distinguished itself. Thus up to the end of the first day’s play Surrey had good reason to congratulate themselves on their work, but before stumps were drawn on Friday they had learned much abont the mutability of human affairs. Lees was not able to turn out, and no one could take his place As eight Yorkshire wickets were down, Hirst naturally tried to make runs as quickly as possible, and accordingly took risks. He was missed two or three times, and Surrey suffered severely for this. Hunter proved to be a most useful partner, and’ when at last he was dismissed he had helped Hirst to put up 149 runs for the ninth wicket. Hirst was undefeated when the Yorkshire innings ended at a quarter past one. He had nearly doubled his overnight score by the most resolute hitting, and altogether he was at the wickets for five hours and three-quarters for his splendid 232 not out. Knox bowled very finely, ana his analysis by no means represents the value of his work. Surrey had now a much more difficult task than seemed likely on the previous evening to be given to them. They had half an hour’s batting before lunch, and disasters came thickly upon them. For Hirst, without taking any rest after his long innings, began the Yorkshire bowling, and at 3 Hayward was well caught on the leg side off him at the wicket. When another run had been scored he bowled Hobbs. Ats 5 Ringrose dismissed Baker, and thus three wickets were down. Kaphael was missed at the wicket off the next ball and at lunch time the total was 9 for three wickets* Hayes not out 2, and Raphael not out 0. In the afternoon Hayes played a brilliant game, and he alone of all the side could offer any prolonged re­ sistance to the bowling. He survived until nearly the end of the innings, making 69 out of 113 in an hour and ten minutes. All the Yorkshire bowlers met with success. Surrey had to follow on, being 326 runs behind. They lost Hayes and Hobbs for 9 runs, but Baker, by very good cricket, helped Hay­ ward to take the score to 89. When stumps were drawn the total was 89 for three wickets, Hayward who had played a most plucky game, being not out 51. Thus Surrev on Saturday required 237 to save the innings defeat. But although there seemed very little chance that Surrey would be able to pro­ long the match beyond lunch time, a fairly large crowd went to see tho play on Saturday. Directly after the game began Hayward was missed, but Raphael was soon out. Then for a time the prospects of Surrey became brighter, for while Hayward was playing a masterly game, Davis hit with great vigour. Between them the two men raised the score from 100 to 150 in less than twenty minutes, the runs being made off three overs each by Haigh and Ringrose. But the stay of Davis was all too brief, and after he was out the only question of interest was whether Hayward would have time to make his hundred. He succeeded in accomplishing this feat, and was last out after showing almost perfect cricket for three hours and twenty minutes. Lord Dalmeny made a plucky effort to stem the tide of disaster.
