Cricket 1906

124 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M at 10, 1906. minutes, but he afterwards scored freely by on-drives and strokes on the leg-side. He reached 53 out of 84 in 45 minutes, and, in all, made 63 out of 94 (added with Hardstaff for the fourth wicket) in 50 minutes. Uis last 61 runs were made off 25 balls, by means of thirteen 4’s, a 3, a 2 and four singles. The last six overs delivered whilst he was in produced 54 runs, but eventually he was bowled by the last ball of an over from Rhodes, after having made 17 off the first five. His display was chanceless, but a trifle lucky. One of the largest hits he made landed the ball on the roof of the grand stand, and, as it could not be recovered, a new one was called into requisition. Hard­ staff took some little time to settle down, but made 55 runs in 100 minutes, without a mistake of any kind. He hit six 4’s, and four 3’s, his chief scoring strokes being off- drives and square-leg hits. At his departure five wickets were down for 190, but Haigh and Rhodes then bowled with such success in the pooi light that the innings closed for 218. Wynyard batted 90 minutes for a very useful 41, but received hardly any support. Yorkshire went in in a very poor light, and lost three wickets for 32. Hirst and Rothery then made a good stand, adding 48 together for the fourth wicket, and it was mainly owing to them that, when stumps were drawn, the total had been carried to 100 with five men out. Although the wicket had improved considerably by the time play recommenced on Tuesday, the Yorkshiremen were quite unable to score at all freely; in fact their five outstanding wickets fell for 32 runs. This collapse was almost entirely due to Vogler, whose analysis after the resump­ tion read—8 overs, 1 maiden, 13 runs, 4 wickets. It was certainly a disappointing display on the part of the Yorkshiremen, and, but for Hirst’s faultless and plucky 61, made in about an hour and a half, the breakdown would have been complete. As it was, Hirst and Rothery together accounted for 93 of the runs, and the other nine for but 23 between them. With the useful and, one may add, unexpected lead of 86, the M.C.C. went in the second time, and by lunch time had made 85 for three wickets. As in the first innings, Jessop soon settled down, and sent the ball to every quarter of the ground. He did not have the good fortune to smash anything, but he scored 55 out of 71 in half-an-hour, reaching 52 out of 68 in twenty-five minutes. He received 35 balls and scored off 18 of them. His innings was faultless, and his principal hits ten 4’s, three 3’ s and a 2. Hardstaff again exhibited capital form, his strokes on the leg side being especially noticeable. Capt. Wynyard, for the second time in the match, made a useful score, and, when the innings closed for 242, Yorkshire were left with 329 to get to win. Tunnicliffe was soon dismissed, but Rothery and Denton, playing watchful cricket, ad­ vanced the score to 87 ere the latter was dis­ posed of for a very useful 42. Stumps were then drawn, the county with eight wickets in hand still requiring 242 to win. Yesterday, on a wicket which had worn somewhat, the Yorkshiremen played up splendidly, Rothery in particular making a great effort to win the game for his side. The young player named batted just over three hours and three- quarters, and during that time made 88 out of 223 scored whilst he was in without a mis­ take of anykind. He hit a 5, eleven 4’s, three 3’s and three 2’s. He received capital assist­ ance from Hirst, who helped him add 77 for the fourth wicket, and from Rhodes, with whomhe scored 49 in partnership for the fifth. The last-named was rather lucky at the commencement of his innings, but, as soon as he had settle 1 down, played good, sound cricket; off one over from Tarrant he made four off-drives to the boundary. Although Yorkshire, when the fifth wicket fell, re­ quired but 106 runs for victory, the latter men proved unequal to the task, the M.C.U. winning a good game by 40 runs. Mead bowled with capital judgment, and to his efforts the success of the Club was in a great measure due. Score and analysis :— G round . Second innings. M.C.CJ. and First innings.

On a wicket rendered soft by rain, twenty- two wickets fell on the first day of this match for 323 runs. Lancashire, who were giving a trial to Harry Dean, a medium left-handed bowler from the Burnley district, who was bom in August, 1885, commenced badly, losing MacLaren, Spooner and Tyldesley for 33. Sharp then came in andhit well, making 48 in 55 minutes, and, although he might have been caught at the wicket when 34, his display was an invaluable one. With Poidevin he added 41 runs for the fourth wicket in 17 minutes, and, with Harry, 47 for the fifth in 35. When Odell went on a second time the tail collapsed, the last five wickets increasing the score by 16 only, and the whole side being out before lunch for 137. Thanks almost entirely to C. J. B. Wood, Leicestershire made a capital start, and, when 70 was up and only two wickets lost, it appeared probable that the home side would be able to obtain a substantial lead on the first innings. The last seven wickets, how­ ever, fell for 38, Kermode dismissing Coe, Jayes, and Odell with successive balls, and the Leicestershire innings closing for 112, or 25 behind, made in exactly two hours. Wood carried his bat right through the innings and made his 56 without a chance. Before stumps were drawn (rather earlier than usual, owing to the bad light) Lancashire had in­ creased their lead to 99, and had still eight wickets in hand, mainly owing to the first- wicket partnership of Spooner and MacLaren, which realised 60 in 40minutes. On Tuesday only ten minutes play was possible prior to lunch on account of rain. The Lancashire men found it impossible to take any liberties with Jayes and Coe, who bowled with such effect that the last eight wickets added but 61, Leicestershire thus being set 161 to win. The home side fared badly before stumps were drawn, losing seven wickets for 115, chiefly against Cuttell, who bowled finely. Yesterday, when Whitehead (13) and Odell (8) resumed batting, 46 were still required for victory, but only 11 had been added when Whitehead was caught at the wicket. Gill and Odell, amidst much excitement, added 33, and then Odell, in endeavouring to make the winning hit, was caught at mid-off. Without any increase in the score, Gill too was dismissed, and by this means Lancashire won the match by the narrow margin of a 8ingle run. Score and analysis :— L a n ca sh ire First innings. A. C.
