Cricket 1905

350 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g . 17, 1905. out 9, and Relf not out 23. Latham was content to keep up his wicket on Tuesday morning, and when he was out for 21, he had been at the wickets for an hour and forty minutes, but his innings was of great value to his side. Relf played well, and Leach and Simms hit so finely before lunch that they put on 82 runs in three-quarters of an hour. Leach made a vigorous 65 in an hour, and when the Sussex innings came to an end, Middlesex had to face a balance of 46. Before these runs were hit off they lost E. A. Beldam and Tarrant, and directly afterwards Douglas and Bosanquet were missed. But when Douglas was disposed of, no one except Bosanquet could do anything with the bowling, and the innings came to an end just before time, Sussex having to make 130 to win. Yesterday they accom­ plished their task with ease. M iddlesex . First innings. J. Douglas, b Cox ......... 0 E. A. Beldam, lbw, b Leach 86 Tarrant, c Butt, b Cox ... 12 B. J. T.

Played at Bristol on August 14, 15, and 16. Gloucestershire won by five wickets. On the first day of this match Lancashire, without Maclaren, Spooner, Brearley and Tyldesley, had the worst of the game. Against their score of 209, Gloucestershire made 225 for three wickets before stumps were drawn. The only Lancashire men who played up to their reputation were Sharp and Cook. The former played faultless cricket for an hour and three quarters, hitting sixteen 4’s in his 78; the latter, who seems to be developing into a fine hitter and losing his bowling, made 44 in half an hour. The chief feature of the Gloucestershire innings was the partnership of C. O. H. Sewell and Hoard, who put on 166 in an hour and a half for the third wicket. W hen stumps were drawn Sewell was notout 113. On Tuesday, Sewell added 17 runs to his score, and then played a ball from Heap into his wicket. His innings of 130 was excellent in every way, and included a 6 and eighteen 4’s ; he was batting for two hours and a quarter. Brown made an attractive 60 at the rate of about a run a minute, and when the innings came to an end just before lunch Gloucestershire had a lead of 165. Lancashire fared badly in their second innings, and when stumps were drawn at six o’clock on account of the bad light, they were still 13 runs behind with only four wickets in hand. Rain fell soon after­ wards. Yesterday the tail played up with great determination, and Gloucestershire had to make 105 to win. At lunch-time they had lost five wickets for only 32 runs, so that they were in serious danger of defeat. But afterwards Barnett and Brown held their own, and at a quarter to four Gloucestershire won the match. L ancashire . First innings. H. G. Garnett, c Dennett, b Huggins ........................19 A.

Surrey won by nine wickets. On an excellent wicket Derbyshire did not take advantage of their opportunities when they went in first on Monday. L. G. Wright and Cadman put up 38 for the first wicket, but half the side were out for 95. A. E. Lawton then joined Morton and played a splendid game, hitting the bowling all over the field for an hour, during which he scored 78 runs, his partnership with Morton producing 70 runs in thirty-five minutes. Smith, who was making hi3 reappearance in the Surrey team, met with remark­ able success with the ball. In the absence of Hayward Surrey began their innings badly by losing Holland before a run had been scored, and Baker with the total at 16. But Hayes and Raphael offered a stubborn resistance’ to the bowling and soon mastered it, with the result that in an hour and three-quarters they increased the score by 200 runs, both men playing brilliant cricket. When stumps were drawn Surrey, with seven wickers in hand, were leading by 30 runs. Hayes was not out 139. On Tuesday Hobbs played a patient game for about an hour and a quarter, but during his stay with Hayes, who continued to show the best of cricket, 73 runs were put on in an hour. Hayes was caught at third man when he was within eleven runs of his second hundred. He had played a great game for three hours and ten minutes, and hit twenty-one 4’s. At lunch time the score was 425 for six wickets. Lord Dalmeny and J. N. Crawford made 69 in a little over half an hour by brilliant cricket. In the afternoon Crawford continued to play a fine game, and found a useful partner in Smith, who helped him to put on 79 in thirty-five minutes. Eventually Crawford carried his bat for 119, his first hundred in county cricket, after batting for two hours and a half. Derbyshire had to go in against abalance of 343,and did so well that when stumps were drawn they had made 136 for one wicket. Ashcroft was not out 87, and Morton not out 22. Yesterday Ash croft and Morton both played wonderfully good cricket, and they were not separated until they had put on 196 while together for three hours. But after lunch the batting was not good, and Surrey only had to make 21 to win. Derbyshire, and especially Ashcroft, must be heartily congratulated on their very plucky fight after being so far behind on the first innings. It may be added that Warren hit Knox for five 4’s off successive balls. D erbyshire . First innings. L. G. Wright, c Baker, b Lees ...............................21 Cadman, c and b Smith ... 31 C. A.
