J uly 5, 1906. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 253 NORTHAMPTONSHIRE v. LEICESTER­ SHIRE. Played at Northampton on July 2, 3 and 4. Northamptonshire won hy an innings and 40 runs. With De Trafford, Jayes, and King away, the visitors were not at full strength in this match, whilst Northamptonshire had practically their best side in the field. Winning the toss Crosse sent his opponents in first, and with happy results, for his surmise that the wicket would improve as time went on proved to be correct. Thompson was in capital form with the ball, and got Leicestershire’s first three wickets down for 15. Whitehead played a most useful innings, batting one hundred and fifty minutes, and carrying out his bat for 60, made with­ out a mistake ; he hit six 4’s. With Coe he added 39 for the fourth wicket in fifty minutes, and with Odell 36 for the seventh in forty. After lasting one hundred and seventy minutes the innings closed for 128, Thompson taking seven wickets for 72. The home side lost Pool at 2, but Crosse, who played a very attractive game, and obtained 50 whilst Cox made 10, helped to add 106 for the second wicket in an hour and a half. At the end of the day North­ amptonshire, with six wickets in hand, were 29 runs on. On Tuesday Kingston and Thompson, without offering a chance, remained together until the fifth wicket had put on 140. East, Vials and Hawkins reached double figures, and the total eventually reached 388, which included as many as 53 extras. Leicestershire, 260behind, again did so badly against Thompson’s bowling that, when play ceased for the day, half the side were out for 93. Wood being not out 46. Yesterday’s play was noteworthy for a fine innings by Wood, who remained unconquered to the end. Crawford helped to add 38 for the sixth wicket, and Palmer 33 for the eighth, but the sup­ port he received tSfas very poor, and the home side experienced no difficulty in winning by an innings and 40 runs. Thompson again bowled splendidly, and in the whole match took fifteen wickets for 167 runs. Score and analysis:— L eicestershire . First innings. Second innings. C. J. B.Wood,c Smith, b G.

SURREY. Played at Chesterfied on July 2 and 3. Surrey won by ten wickets. Although, owing to his breakdown on the previous Saturday, Surrey were deprived of the services of Knox, their best bowler, Derbyshire gave a very dis­ appointing display, being ali disposed of for 256, made in as many minutes. The wicket was good throughout, and, although the light after lunch was not very satisfactory, the poor total must be chiefly attributed to Crawford’s bowling, which claimed seven wickets for 86. The feature of the innings was the batting of Wright, who, hitting nine 4’s, scored 54 out of 142 in two hours and twenty minutes with­ out making a mistake. He made 34 for the first wicket with Ollivierre, and with Ashcroft put on 77 for the second in eighty minutes. Needham followed up the good start by batting one hundred minutes for 47, and adding 32 for the fifth wicket withWarren in just over half-an-hour. Hayward and Hobbs, at the end of the day, made 19 together without being parted ere play ceased a few minutes before six, owing to defective light. On Tuesday everything was dwarfed by Hayward, who made his ninth hundred of the year. He reached 50 out of 75 in an hour, 74 out of 100 in seventy-five minutes, 100 out of 152 in one hundred and forty-five minutes, and, altogether, made 144 out of 208 in three hours. He hit twenty-two 4’s, and made no mistake whatever. Hobbs helped him make 49 for the first wicket, and Hayes, who never appeared comfortable, 63 for the second. Lees and Platt hit up 55 for the ninth wicket in thirty-five minutes, and enabled Surrey to establish a lead of 28 on the first innings Derby­ shire gave a most disappointing display when they went in the second time, Ashcroft alone succeeding in reaching double figures The ninth wicket fell at 37, but Ashcroft and Bestwick put on 20 for the last, the innings closing for 57, made in ninety minutes. Lees took seven wickets for 33, and, with Crawford, bowled unchanged through the innings. Surrey, set 30 to win, made that number without loss in four and a-half minutes off two overs by means of seven 4’s and two singles. Score and analysis:— D erbyshire . First innings. L. G.
