2 2 0 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 21, 19C6. LE ICESTERSH IRE v. NOTTINGHAM - SH IRE. Played at Leicester on June 18 and 19. Notti won by 10 wick«t». On a slow wicket Leicestershire lost De Trafford, Joyce and Crawford for 29, but Wood, who scored 50 out of 84 in seventy minutes, and King made some amends by adding 55 for the fourth wicket in fifty minutes. Knight, who hit a couple of 6’s, reached 50 in an hour, and, although h# might have been caught when 44, his innings was a very meritorious one. With King he put on 48 for the fifth wicket in twenty-five minutes, and, with Coe, 52 for the sixth in three-quarters of an hour.. Hallam bowled well, and took five wickets for 66. Jones and J. Iremonger gave Nottinghamshire a good start by scoring 63 together, the first-named, who showed good defence and hit eleven 4’s, batting in all for two hours for 71. At the end of the day the visitors, with half their wickets in hand, were 64 behind. On Tuesday Payton and A. Iremonger put on 44 for the seventh wicket in twenty-five minutes, but, no one else reaching double figures, the innings soon closed. As many as six on the side were out Ibw. In their second innings Leicestershire opened so disastrously that half the side were out for 21 in thirty-five minutes, and, although Coe and King put on sixty-five for the sixth wicket in fifty minutes, the innings closed for 116. made in an hour and a-half. Coe, who might have been caught when 26, played a very meritorious innings : he batted eighty-five minutes, and hit five 4’s. Hallam and John Gunn bowled unchanged, the former taking eleven wickets in the match. Jones, who might have been caught when 33, and J. Iremonger successfully obtained the 117 required for victory without being separated in an hour, the two men thereby scoring 100 or more together for the first wicket for the twentieth time.

CAMBRIDGE U N IV E R S IT Y . Played at the Crystal Palace on June 18 and 19 Cambridge University won by an innings and 41 runs. With Colbeck, Payne and Morcom away, the University were by no means at their full strength, but they nevertheless proved more than a match for the home team. Grace was dismissed by the first ball of the match, but Marshal, who made 41 out of 68 in an hour, and helped Magnay score 46 for the third wicket in forty minutes, made many fine strokes. Hadfield and Bell put on 41 together for the last partnership, but the batting, taken in all, was very disappointing. The University lost Baily and Eyre quickly, but Young, by hitting up 53 out of 83 in an hour, to a large extent compensated for the early disasters. He hit six 4’s. Page batted seventy minutes for his 72, driving well, and giving no chance. With Buchanan he put on 100 for the fourth wicket in the short space of forty minutes. His chief strokes were a 6—a huge, straight drive out of the ground—and eleven 4’s. At the end of the day the University, with half their wickets in hand, were 46 runs ahead. On Tuesday, owing mainly to a stand of 80 for the seventh wicket by Goodwin and Keigwin, the visitors were able to obtain a lead of 190 on the first innings. Goodwin reached 50 in forty minutes and gave a very bright display, but Keigwin, who was twice missed, was very tedious, taking two hours and a quarter to score 55. The eighth wicket added 80 in fifty minutes. Goodwin making 58 of that number. In their second innings the home side proved quite unable to cope with the Cambridge attack, the whole side being dismissed in 135 minutes for 149. During the two innings of the home side Baily made seven catches at the wicket. The University won by an innings and 41 runs Score and analysis W. G . G race ' s XI. First innings. W. G.

DERBYSH IRE v. W ARW ICK SH IRE . Played at Derby on June 18 and 19. Warwickshire won by an innings and 16 runs. L. G. Wright’s policy in putting his opponents in after winning the toss was not a success, though his action was probably correct as things were. His bowlers did not perform so well as might have been expected, whilst more than one catch was dropped. Charlesworth, not unaided by luck, scored 54 in an hour, whilst Quaife, who hit six 4’s, and batted one hundred and ninety minutes, was almost canght and bowled ere he had made a run. Ten players on the side reached double figures, the total reaching 312, made in 250 minutes. The concluding portion of the day’s play was remarkable for some extraordinary bowling by Hargreave, who, going on at 23, took five wickets for 5 runs in thirty-one balls, Derbyshire, when play ended, requiring 131 to save the follow-on. On Tuesday Hargreave continued to bowl in such rare form that Warwickshire were able to make the home side follow on 220 in arrears. In their second innings Derbyshire did much better, but were unable to save the innings defeat. Ashcroft, who hit seven 4’s, batted for one hundred and thirty-five minutes, and played a very great game for his side. With Needham he added 84 for the fourth wicket, and with Warren 36 for the fifth. Hargreave, who kept an excellent length, again obtained the majority of the wickets, his record for the match being thirteen for 102. Warwickshire won by an innings and 16 runs.

For the fourteenth time in succession Kent lost the toss, but nevertheless had by far the best ot the day’s cricket, seeing that by the time stumps were drawn they were 113 ahead with five wickets in hand. With a weak team, and on a somewhat slow wicket, Hampshire fared badly, half the side being out for 60. Langford, however, played a useful innings of 24, whilst Badcock and Smoker put on 30 for the ninth wicket, the result being that the total was taken to 131, made in one hundred and forty- five minutes, ere the innings closed. After lunch play was suspended for half-an-hour whilst the funeral of Herbert Hearne, who played for Kent in 1884-5-6, was taking place at Ohalfont St. Giles. The feature of the day’s cricket was supplied by Woolley, who, going in when three wickets had fallen for 23, made 116 out of 173 in ninety minutes He reached 50 in forty-five minutes, and hit twenty 4’s, the majority of them ofl-drives. It was a splendid display, and devoid of fault. With Seymour he added 75 for the fourth wicket in forty minutes and with Hutchings 98 for the fifth in fifty. His all-round success on his native heath was naturally greatly appreciated by the spectatora. On the following day neither Hutchings nor Hubble, the over-night not-outs, increased his score, but their early dismissal was compensated for by Huish who hit ten 4’s in his 71. The wicket-keeper added 50 for the ninth wicket with Blythe in thirty minutes, and 50 for the tenth with Fielder in twenty-five. He was missed in the long-field when he had made 54 but made no other mistake. Badcock, himself a Kent man, did well to take six wickets for 81 in an innings of 365. In a minority of 234 Hampshire lost Greig, Bowell and Sprot for 45, and, although Mead scored 79 out of the 164 in one hundred »nd fifty
