Played at the Oval on July 26, 27 and 28. W ALTER LEES’ BENEFIT MATCH. Surrey won by nine tickets. The position occupied in the Championship Table by Surrey and Yorkshire naturally caused the greatest interest to centre in their meeting at the Oval. For the visitors Jackson made his first appearance of the season, and each side was represented by its best eleven, although long before the match was over it became obvious that Yorkshire would have been more formidable had they possessed more fast bowling. W hen the first ball was sent down, in perfect weather, there were quite twelve thousand persons present, a number which, as the day wore on, increased to 27,000, of whom 21,917 paid for admis­ sion at the gates. When Yorkshire won the toss it was generally thought that a good score would result, but against the fine bowling of K nox and Lees, half the side were disposed of in half-an-hour for 49. Rhodes and Rothery, the latter by a splendid catch at the wicket, were both sent back at 33, Jackson and Denton followed at 48, and, with one run added, Hirst was caught in trying to pull the very first ball he received. Tunnicliffe and Taylor added 50 for the sixth wicket in forty minutes, and the former and Haigh 62 for the eighth in an hour. It was clearly Tunnicliffe’s innings which saved the side from collapse. W ithout giving a chance, he scored 60 out of 132 in two hours and a-quarter, hitting ten 4’s. Considering how deplorable a start was made the visitors did well to score 186. Both Lees and Knox bowled well, wrhilst Strudwick at the wicket was at his best. It is curious that during the innings the wickets were not once disturbed. Before play ended for the day Surrey had placed themselves almost in a winning position by scoring 131 for one wicket Hayward and Hobbs, by steady play, put on 91 for the opening partnership, after which the former and Hayes played out time, Hayward, when stumps were drawn, being 72 not out. During the afternoon the ground was visited by tho Prince and Princess of Wales, Princess Victoria Mary of Wales, and Princes Edward and Albert of Wales, who watched the game from the Committee Room. On Friday morning Hayward added only four to his overnight score ere being out to a fine catch in the slips. "He scored 76 out of 141 in 135minutes without a fault, and hit a 6 and five 4’s in his fine defensive innings. His partnership with Hayes for the second wicket realised 50. At 179 Goatly was caught at the wicket, and shortly afterwards Hayes com­ pleted his 50 in an hour and a-quarter. The last- named, like Hayward, succumbed to the agility of Tunnicliffe in the slips, being fourth out at 193. He hit seven 4’s and made his 53 out of 102 obtained whilst in in 85 minutes. Holland made 10 out of 18, and at his departure half the wickets were down for 211. W ith Dalmeny joining Crawford a fine stand was made, the two young amateurs putting on 78 for the sixth wicket before being separated. Craw­ ford scored 51 out of 110 in 95 minutes—a finely- played innings. Lord Dalmeny hit well, and, when he was bowled, seven wickets were down tor 291. Lees and May afterwards played vigorous cricket, their partnership resulting in 65 being put on for the eighth wicket in 35 minutes. During his inn­ ings Lees was missed in the long-field by Rothery, who injured his fingers very badly in an endeavour to effect the catch. The last wicket put on 18, and Surrey were left with the very useful lead of 201. None of the Yorkshiremen possessed a flattering analysis, the absence of another fast bowler, to second the efforts of Hirst, being severely felt. W hen the visitors went in the second time Tunnicliffe played another very fine innings, and found a most useful partner in Rhodes, with whom he put up 107 for the first wicket in 95 minutes. Tunnic'iffe, who made some fine drives off Knox, batted for 110 minutes, and Rhodes for 95 ; each hit eight 4’s. Denton followed in, and very soon after­ wards play was suspended for ten minutes on account of bad light. Before play ended for the day Denton and Tunnicliffe were both sent back, and, when stumps were drawn, Yorkshire, with three wickets down, were still 78 runs behind. During the day about 25,000 people were on the ground, of whom 19,908 passed the turnstiles. In the course of the afternoon Knox became lame and retired for a time, but returned later and dismissed Denton. During Friday night a good deal of rain fell, but, o n a wicket which kicked a little, it was possible to resume play at the appointed hour on the Satur­ day. Hunter, one of the over-night not-outs, did not survive long, whilst at 174, Jackson, who was missed when 17 by May, was sent back for a lucky innings of 20. Half the wickets were down, and Yorkshire still 27 in arrears, when Hirst went in and played one of his characteristic innings. When he had made four he received a severe blow on the hand from a ball delivered by Knox, but scored 16 from the remainder of the over. At 180 Taylor fell to Knox and was succeeded by Wilkinson. For some time the cricket was very slow, Hirst scoring only a single in half an hour, and two singles in forty-five minutes. Orawford bowled steadily, and sent down seven successive maiden overs: one ball he delivered hit Hirst on the finger, and necessitated his retirement to the Pavilion for five minutes. At 192 Wilkinson, after batting 40 minutes for seven, was caught off Knox, who had now taken five wickets in succession. With Haigh in, the 200 was reached in 220 minutes after the start, and shortly afterwards Hirst, when twenty-six, ought easily to have been run out by May. Hirst and Haigh, during their partnership of 45 minutes, put on 49 for the eighth wicket, which fell at 241, when lunch was taken. After the interval I-ord Hawrke joined Hirst, who completed his 50 out of 100 in two hours. Together the two men put on 51 for the ninth wicket in 70 minutes. Hawke playing the goose-game to perfec­ tion and batting an hour and ten minutes for 8 . Five runs later Hirst was bowled by Lees, after batting three hours and ten minutes for 87, an innings which contained no bad stroke and in­ cluded eleven 4’s. Of Knox’s bowling it would be difficult to speak too highly. Although his ten wickets cost 18 runs each, the batsmen were never comfortable whilst he was on. It was to his per­ formance, more than to anything else, that Surrey’s success was ultimately due. The home side were left two hours and ten minutes in which to get 97 to win—a task which they performed with ease with 50 minutes to spare. Hobbs was out at 39, but Hayes afterwards assistedHayward in obtaining tho balance, Surrey winning by ten wickets. W hen one run was still required, some of the players, thinking the full num ber had been made, started to leave the field, and the crowd swarmed all over the ground. The game was finished by Haigh sending down a wide. On the Saturday 19,962 persons paid for admission to the ground, the total number who did so during the match being 61,817. It was estimated that, altogether, over 80,000 people were present during the three days. On the first day a collection on the ground for Lees’ Benefit Fund realised £ 40 7s, on the second £80 12s., and on the third £63 11s. 7d. Score and analysis: - Y o rksh ire . First innings.
