Cricket 1906

J u n e 7, 1906. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 187 YORKSH IRE v. LANCASH IRE. Played at Bradford on June 4 and 5. Yorkshire won by six wickets. The weather was dull, and the wicket somewhat soft, when play started on Monday before 10,000 spectators. Hunter and Brearley made their first appearance of the season for their respective counties. On a wicket which was slightly in favour of tbe bowlers twenty wickets fell during the day for 244 runs, Lancashire, when play ceased, being 110behind with an innings to play. Spooner, who made 18 out of 35, and was missed when 13, was the highest scorer for the visitors, who could do little against Hirst. The second wicket fell at 35, but the next seven added but 21, and the innings closed for 67, made in two hours. Hirst took six wickets for 20, and Haigli four for 30, the former bowling with ad­ mirable judgment. Yorkshire, upon going in, did not find run-getting so difficult amatter. Wilkinson made 25 out of 34 in twenty minutes, whilst, later, Hirst made 58 in one hundred and fifteen minutes without giving a chance, hitting eight 4’s and reach­ ing 50 out of 86 in eighty,minutes. His all-round cricket was quite the feature of the day’s play. With Rhodes he added 48 for the sixth wicket, and with Grimshaw, who batted forty minutes ere opening his score, 46 for the fifth. The last four wickets fell for 16, and, at the close of the innings for 177, stumps were drawn for the day. Brearley bowled very well indeed on the soft turf, taking half-a-dozen wickets for 11 runs each. During the day 15,024 people paid for admission. On Tuesday Lancashire commenced their up-hill struggle by losing MacLaren ere a run had been made, but, 1 yldesley and Spooner then coming together, resisted the attack so successfully that 84 were put on for the second wicket in 70 minutes. Spooner, who made 42, had the satisfaction of proving the highest scorer in each innings. Sharp and Harry offered a fair opposition to Haigh and Hirst, and put on 35 for the fifth wicket, but the home side were set only 42 to win. Lancashire’s last eight wickets fell for 67. Haigh took five wickets for 35, obtaining them all for 9 runs after he went on the second time. Yorkshire won a very interest­ ing match by six wickets. Score and analysis :— L ancashire .

HAT TRICK BY JAYES. Leicestershire won by 224 runs. Northamptonshire adopted the risky policy of putting their opponents in after winning the toss, and, long before the day’s play ended, must have regretted the action. Twenty-one wickets fell during the day for 303 runs, Leicestershire being 123 aheac. with nine wickets in hand when play ceased. Vivian Crawford, who hit nine 4’s, gave a delightful display which lasted forty minutes, and Knight and Whitehead put on 75 for the fifth wicket in fifty minutes. The tail collapsed rather badly before Thompson (G.), whose analysis after lunch was five wickets for 5 runs. The only feature of Northamp­ tonshire’s innings was tbe bowling of Jayes, who took six wickets for 23 and performed the hat-trick. The visitors were disposed of in two hours and ten minutes for the poor total of 90. On Tuesday the home side fared badly for a time, six men being out for 78, but Knight and Jayes then put on 91 together for the seventh wicket in 50 minutes. The first- named played a very good and faultless innings of 66, batting 90 minutes and hitting eleven 4’s. Odell played well for 41, and the innings closed for 235, which left Nortliants. 338 to win. The visitors gave another poor display, half the side being out for 89, and all ten wickets falling, fo? 113. Javes again bowled very well and took his last four wickets for 5 runs. His record for the^match was eleven for 60. Leicestershire won by 224 runs. Score and “noivou* L eicestershire . First innings. C. E. De Trafford, lbw, b G. Thompson........................ C. J. B.

Essex won by an innings and 82 runs. A Bank-holiday crowd of considerably over 10,000 assembled on the opening day of this match, the previous successes of Essex no doubt proving the attraction. Gloucestershire, batting first,TostBarnett at 9, Board at 11, and Godsell and Wrathall, who was in for fortyminutes, at 47. Jessop hit 34 out of 35 in twenty-five minutes, but, when 16, was bowled by Buckenham, but given not out by the umpire, who thought that, as the bail took so long to fall, it was disturbed by the breeze and not by the impact of the ball with the wicket. Huggins also made a few good hits, but the innings closed for 173. Essex lost McGahey from the second ball sent down, but, fortunately for the home side, Perrin was in his finest form. With Carpenter, the latter added 108 for the second wicket, and with Kane 58 for the third, ere being fourth out at 171 for a faultless 110, made in as many minutes. He made several splendid drives, and hit sixteen 4’s. Gihinc-ham and Reeves after­ wards added 82 without being separated forthesixth wicket in fifty minutes, and, when played ceased, the home side led by 81 runs and had still five wickets in hand. Langdon kept wicket instead of Board, who had severely strained his side in the morning whilst batting. On Tuesday Reeves and Gillingham continued together until they had put on 93 for the sixth wicket in fifty-five minutes, of which number the former claimed 53. When he had made 51 he had a very narrow escape, playing a ball on to his wicket without removing a bail. Buckenham and Douglas, each of whom scored 66, added 112 for the eighth wicket in eighty minutes, and eventually the innings closed for 426. Gloucestershire, 253 behind, lost Barnett at 20, but Wrathall, who hit Mead over the Press-box and out of the ground for 6, helped Godsell to put on 51 for the second partnership. Wrathall, who had Mills to run for him, made his 62 out of 141 in 155 minutes. Soon after he left the innings closed for 171, Essex winning with great ease by an innings and 82 runs.

Played at Lord’s on June 4, 5 and 6. t it c h m a r s h ’ s b e n e f it . Middlesex won by 320 runs. In pleasant weather and before 6,000 spectators, this match, played for the benefit of Titchmarsh, the well-known umpire, commenced on Monday last on a rather slow wicket. Owing to a damaged shoulder, J. T. Hearne was an alsentee, but Bosanquet, for. the first time this season, assisted Middlesex, for whom the Rev. A. M. Bashford and Murrell, who. had previously,appeared for Kent, )layed their first match. Warner was out ere a run lad been made, but G. W. Beldam, who was missed when one and 17. added 72 for the second wicket with Tarrant in 80 minutes, and.162 with Bosanquet
