Cricket 1905

A do . 10, 1905 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 325 not out 17. In windy weather the game was resumed on Friday, heavy rain having caused a delay. The screens and some of the tents were blown down, and the bails would not remain in their places. Killick increased his score to 50, and Newham and Butt made a very useful stand for the last wicket. Somerset began very badly by losing Martyn, Rob­ son, Lewis and Johnson, the last three men all being dismissed with the total at 18. But Woods played a remarkable innings, hitting with vigour, and when stumps were drawn he was not out 47, while the total was 73. He was batting for thirty-five minutes only. There was so much rain on Saturday that there was never much chance of finishing the match. Woods continued to play a remarkable game, hitting with the greatest determination, and when at last he was out for 125 he had been batting for two hours only. Among his hits were three 6’s and ten 4’s. F. M. Lee and Hardy both played fine cricket, and when stumps were pulled up soon after five o’clock the Somerset total was 289 for nine wickets. S ussex .

Played at Beckenham on August 3, 4, and 5# Kent won hy ten wickets. Heavy rain fell at Beckenham on the Wednesday night of last week and on the Thursday morning, but the weather cleared up, and it was hoped that play would begin at four o’clock. Another heavy shower upset calculations, and it was decided to wait until the next morning. Smith, who had caught a bad chill, was absent from the Surrey team, which also did not yet include J. N. Craw­ ford. Cricket was played under difficulties at Beckenham on Friday. There was a high wind and leaves and small branches were blown about, some­ times on the wicket, which became more and more difficult under the influence of the sun and wind. Surrey won the toss but found great difficulty in making runs against the accurate bowling of Blythe. Hayward was stumped when three runs had been made, Hobbs was lbw at 17, and half the wickets were down for 68. Lord Dalmeny then played a brilliant innings, hitting very hard whenever an opportunity presented itself, taking risks, but always doing the right thing. He made 60 out of 87 in less than an hour. With a total of 148 to face Kent made amost disheartening commencement of their innings. They had five minutes’ batting before lunch and lost Dillon. Afterwards, before a single run had been scored, they lost Seymour and Hearne. At 17 Day was out. When things were in this desperate position Humphreys and J. R. Mason remained together for an hour and five minutes and increased the total by 90 by resolute cricket. This was the only stand of the innings, and the total was 14 behind that of Surrey. Humphreys played a great game. Lees and Hayes bowled exceedingly well, but Know was not tried. The Surrey second innings was most disappointing. Hayward again failed and Hobbs alone made double figures, none of the other men being able to make a stand against J. R. Mason and Blythe, who were backed up by excellent field­ ing. The innings closed for 60, so that Kent only had to make 75 to win. Of these five were scored by p. H. Day and Huish before stumps were drawn and Itwas any odds that Kent wouldwinwith ease for the wicket was almost certain to improve on the next morning. As things turned out Surrey’s chances of victory were taken away by further rain which made the wicket quite easy, and handicapped the bowlers who could neither get a foothold, nor hold the wet ball. Nevertheless, it was a fine performance of Day and Huish to knock off the runs without being separated, and they deserve the heartiest con­ gratulations. S urrey . First innings. Second innings.

Cheltenham won by eight wickets. On the first day of this match Cheltenham had much the best of the game, for they made 206, and then, after disposing of Haileybury for 100, sent them in again, and dismissed five men for 57. McKay and Belfield met with remarkable success with the ball. The best innings of the day was the 52 by M. G. Salter, the Cheltenham captain, but Belfield played a vigorous game for 39, and the last Cheltenham wicket accounted for 37. For Hailey­ bury Gunner and Dibdin played good cricket. The tail showed pluck on Saturday and saved the innings defeat, although Cheltenham only had to make 23 to win. C heltenham . ____First innings. Second innings. A. C.

There was no play in this match on the first day owing to rain. The Hampshire teamwas exceedingly weak, Captain Greig having left for India, and E. M. Sprot, Hesketh-Prichard, W. H. B. Evans and Cap­ tain Wynward all being away. Yorkshire were without the Hon. F. S. Jackson and Ernest Smith. On Friday Yorkshire batted on a soft but not very difficult wicket. Lord Hawke went in first with Rothery, but was bowled by Baldwin at 41. Rothery and Denton then made a fine stand, which took the score to 108, of which the former claimed 58. At lunch time the score was 160 for three wickets. In the afternoon the wind was so high that the bails were frequently blown off. Denton found most use­ ful partners in Tunnicliffe and Hirst, and the latter was still with him when the innings was closed with the total at 303 for four wickets. Denton carried his bat for 133, his seventh hundred of the season, and his second in successive innings. He was batting for about three hours, and hit nineteen 4’s. A fine inn­ ings of 42 not out by the Rev. W. V. Jephson was of the greatest value to Hampshire, who, when stumps were drawn, had scored 88 for the loss of three wickets. The plucky declaration of the Yorkshire captain produced no results, for on Saturday rain fell so heavily that the match had to be given up.
