310 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A ug . 2, 1906. HAMPSHIRE v. NORTHAMPTON­ SHIRE. Played at Southampton on July 26, 27 and 28. Hampshire won by seven wickets. In this match Dr.H. C. Pretty, who had previously played for Surrey, made his debut for Northampton­ shire. The visitors, who won the toss, had scored only 16 runs when Cox was hit on the mouth by a fast ball from Bestwick, which splintered his jaw­ bone and prevented him from taking any further part in the match. Pretty then joined Pool, and together they made 125 for the first wicket in 80 minutes, both being sent back at 141. Pretty hit two 6 ’s and five 4’s, and Pool six 4’s. The remaining batsmen, especially Thompson, played a very slow game. Thompson, although he hit eleven 4’s, took three hours to score 63, and his partnerships with Manning and Horton, although they realised 39 and 36 respectively, each lasted an hour. The Hampshire fielding was decidedly weak, and several catches were dropped. In reply to Northamptonshire’s total of 293, the home side made 27 without loss in the twenty minutes remaining before stumps were drawn. On Friday m orning Johnston and Bowell took the score to 111 beforo the first wicket fell, the former then being caught for a good innings of 45, made in 85 minutes. Bowell, after batting for 100 minutes, was second out at 138: he was missed at the wicket when he had made 30, and hit six 4’s. Mead and Barrett, who hit six and seven 4’s respectively, afterwards scored well and put on 58 together for the fifth wicket, but, the tail not troubling much, the innings closed for 277, or 16 behind. Before play ceased for the day, the visitors made 113 for three wickets. Stumps were drawn ten minutes before the time arranged, as a protest against the action of the crowd in “ barracking ” Thompson on account of his defensive tactics of the previous day. On Satur­ day, East made some good hits to leg in his 27, whilst Thompson batted for 90 minutes for a similar score. Wells, who was missed when he had made 5, survived long enough to help Manning put on 52 in 50 minutes. With the innings closing for 225, Hamp­ shire were set 212 to get to win. The task was com­ menced somewhat disastrously, Hill being brilliantly run out by Pretty at 17, but Johnston and Bowell retrieved matters by putting on 137 together for the second wicket. Bowell, who hit six 4’s in his 60, played an admirable innings. Mead gave little trouble, but Llewellyn remained in with Johnston until the game was won. The lastrnamed carried out his bat for 105—a capital innings marred by only one chance, at 99. Hampshire won in fine fashion by seven wickets. Score and analysis:— N orthamptonshire . First innings.

LEICESTERSHIRE v. WORCESTER­ SHIRE. Played at Leicester on July 26 and 27. Leicestershire won by an innings and 34 runs. For this match the home side had their best team available, but Worcestershire, without W. L. and H. K. Foster and Wheldon, were not at full strength. The whole of the first day was occupied by Leices­ tershire in scoring 382. The chief feature of the inn­ ings was a capital display by Whitehead, who, hit­ ting well all round the wicket, scored 139 out of 300 in 225 minutes without giving a chance. He hit a 6 and twenty one 4’s, and, with Knight, added 63 for the second wicket, with K ing 86 for the third, and, with V . F. S. Crawford, 123 for the fourth. The last-named hit seven 4’s during the hour and a-half he was at the wickets. Bird proved the most suc­ cessful of the visiting bowlers, his analysis of six for 43 in an innings of 382 being very good. During the night and eaily m orning the wicket was ruined by rain, and it came as no surprise to find Worces­ tershire beaten by an innings. Half the side were dismissed for 86 , and only Burns, who batted for 90 minutes and was twice missed, made any stand against Jayes, who took seven wickets for 11 runs each. When they followed on, 249 behind, Worces­ tershire, thanks chiefly to Bowley, did much better. W ith Pearson he made 41 for the first wicket, with Arnold 41 for the second, with Hutchings 37 for the third, and, with Burns, 72 for the fourth. Altogether, he scored 93 out of 191 in an hour and three-quarters, hitting well all round the wicket, and making no mistake. He hit sixteen 4’s. The last six wickets fell in 35 minutes for 25, leaving Leicestershire victorious by an innings and 34 runs. In the whole match Jayes took a dozen wickets for 174.

Drawn. On the first day Sussex occupied all the time available in scoring 331, eight of the eleven making 20 or more. R. R. Relf was out at 11 and Vine nine runs later, John Gunn making a splendid catch off his own bowling. A. E. Relf and Killick added 31 for the third wicket, and the latter and Simms 45 for the fourth. The latter part of the innings was marked by a fine display on the part of Cox, who made 71 out of 155 in 125 minutes, giving only one chance—when 7. With Simms he put on 31 for the fifth wicket, and with Smith 78 for the sixth. On Friday the home side had to bat upon a wicket affected by rain, and were, moreover, deprived of the services of George Gunn, who was suffering from hemorrhage of the lungs. Half the wickets fell for 36 in five minutes over the hour, and it was due almost wholly to a stand of 55 for the sixth wicket by Jones and Branston that the total eventually reached 110. Dwyer and the elder Relf bowled unchanged throughout, the former taking seven wickets for 65. Following on, 221 behind, a very different display was seen, Iremonger and Jones, by making 129 together in 110 minutes, putting up three figures together for the first wicket of Notts for the twenty-first time. At the end of the day the home side, with only two wickets down, were three runs on, Iremonger being 119 not out. On Saturday the last-named and Hardstaff remained together until their stand for the third wicket had realised 181. Hardstaff’s innings contained eleven 4’s and was without blemish. Iremonger scored 171 out of 312 in 295 minutes with only one mistake, at 76, hitting two 5’s and nineteen 4’s ; he reached 10!) out of 174 in 165 minutes, and made 150 in two hours and three-quarters. The innings closed at a quarter to four for 430, Sussex being left 150 minutes in which to get 210 to win. No attempt was made to obtain the runs, and at six o’clock stumps were drawn.
