To him belongs the credit of being absolutely the most consistent run-getter on the side, fifteen innings of 30 standing to his credit.” “ Wisden ” of 1905 says, “ Only less suc­ cessful than Hirst was David Denton, who increased his aggregate from 1,186 to 1,609 (for Yorkshire), and his average from 30 to 41. He played quite a number of delightful innings, one of the finest being his 85 against Notts at Trent Bridge, and although he missed two catches in the match with Middlesex at Lord’s, his fielding was at other times maintained at the highest standard.” W .
