A ug . 9, 1906. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THfi GAME. 331 SURREY v. NOTTS. Played at the Oval on August 6, 7 and 8. Drawn. For this important match Surrey were by no means at full strength, Knox and May being pre­ vented from appearing by lameness and absence abroad respectively, and Strudwick: standing down owing to a bruised finger. On the opening day 23,908 paid for admission to the ground, and it was estimated that, altogether, about 28,000 were present. Jones and Iremonger gave the visitors a fine start, scoring 89 together for the first wicket in seventy minutes before the latter was out. Jones, who was missed at the wicket when 20, was second out at 138 for 69, for which he batted one hundred and ten minutes, hitting six 4’s. The feature of the day’s play was the display given by John Gunn, who was sesn at his best. His off-driving was especially fine, and his cuts well-timed. He scored 106 out of 177 in one hundred and fiftj*-five minutes without giving a chance, and hit two 5’s and nine 4’s. After his departure Payton, who should have been caught when 8 in the slips by Holland, played well, and received good support, adding 58 for the fifth wicket with Gunn, 46 for the sixth with Day, and 37 for the seventh with Oates. He made 62 out of 141 in two hours, hitting seven 4’s. By the end of the day Notts, had scored 366 and had one wicket to fall. Hobbs, going on shortly before stumps were drawn, took the last three wickets for six runs. On the following morning the innings, with only one run added, came to a conclusion for 367—a total which would have been considerably less but for three missed catches. Surrey made a poor start, Hobbs being sent back at 34," Hayward at 43, and Goatly at 52, three of the best wickets going down in an hour. Hayward was disposed of by a brilliant catch at second slip by Branston, who took the ball low down with the left hand. Fortunately for the home side Hayes and Holland stayed in for seventy minutes, during which they added 96 for the fourth wicket. Hayes, who hit four 4’s, scored 67 in one hundred minutes without a mistake, but it was scarcely oue of his best displays. The Notts bowling was very steady, and the fielding keen. Orawford, upon going in, was restricted to a purely defensive game, it being quite impossible to take any liberties with the attack. During the first half-hour he was in he did not score a run, but he afterwards hit so freely as to obtain 50 in fifty-five minutes. Altogether he hit ten 4’s, and, with Holland, added 128 for the fifth wicket in an hour and a-half. Valuable as Crawford’s innings undoubtedly was, however, the feature of the day’s cricket was furnished by Holland, who, by a very stylish display, scored 100 in three hours. His driving was superb,, and, although he offered a very difficult chance at the wicket when 10, it detracted but little from a fine performance. He hit a dozen 4’s. Lees made a few good hits, but Smith monopolised the lime-light at the end of the innings by scoring 57 out of 64 in forty-five minutes. He hit ten 4’s, and played a most serviceable game, although many of his strokes were the reverse of orthodox. W hen the last Surrey wicket fell, with the home side 28 ahead, play ceased for the day. Wass took six wickets for 105 runs— a capital analysis in an innings of 395. Yesterday several missed catches marked the commencement of play. Iremonger was badly missed in the slips by Orawford off Lees’ first delivery, and from the next ball Jones m ight have been secured by Rushby at mid-on, whilst at 14 the latter was twice missed off consecutive balls from the same bowler, and at 28 Iremonger m ight have been secured at the wicket, also off Lees. Jones reached 50 out of 92 in an hour, and stayed in until he was finely caught at mid-off at 116 for a vigorously-hit 68, made in eighty minutes. He hit twelve 4’s. At the same total Iremonger also was sent back, whilst at 123 Hard­ staff was out to a smart c. and b. by Rushby. Gunn and Payton, by patient cricket, put on 41 for the fourth wicket in fifty minutes. Branston, Day and Oates all reached double figures, and with the score at 236 for six wickets, the innings was declared closed. Before stumps were drawn Hayward and Hobbs made 65 without being parted. Score and analysis:— N otts . First innings. Second innings. A. O.

WORCESTERSHIRE v. WARWICK­ SHIRE. Played at Worcester on August 6, 7 and 8. A SCORE OF 633 BY W ORCESTERSHIRE. Drawn. Several changes were made in the Worcestershire side which drew with Hampshire, at Stourbridge, Wheldon and Wilson appearing instead of Gaukrod- ger (who had injured a finger) and R. E. Foster taking the place of Arnold. During the first day it was officially announced that, “ Owing to a breach of discipline in the Hampshire match, the Committee unanimously decided that Arnold be not selected to play in the Warwickshire match.” Bowley and Pearson commenced well by putting up 40 for the first wicket in half-an-hour, but the former and H. K. Foster, improved upon this considerably by adding 113 for the second in eighty minutes. Bow­ ley, who hit nine 4’s, made 69 out of 153 in one hundred and ten minutes, whilst Foster, who hit well on the off-side and was twice missed—at 75 and 82—scored 124 out of 239 in three hours, hitting seventeen 4’s. Some free hitting followed by Burns and Hutchings, the two putting on 166 for the sixth wicket in one hundred minutes. Burns reached his hundred in an hour and three-quarters, and, when stumps were drawn with the total 465 for six wickets, was 115 not out. On the following morning Burns made only 10 more ere being sent back for a fault­ less innings of 125, which contained eighteen 4’s and lasted one hundred and forty minutes. Wheldon afterwards drove in fine style, making his 89 not out in one hundred and fifteen minutes, and, in partner­ ship with Burrows, adding 131 for the ninth wicket in eighty-five minutes. He hit eleven 4’s. The innings closed for 633, made in four hundred and forty minutes. Warwickshire lost Kinneir and Charlesworth without a run, but Quaife, who showed admirable self-restraint, found useful partners in Devey and Fishwick, with the result that by the end of the day, the visitors had scored 207 for four wickets, Quaife carrying out his bat for 66. Lilley, owing to indisposition, was unable to take any part in the day’s play, and Fishwick kept wicket in his stead. Yesterday Quaife succeeded in reaching three figures, but, only Santall of the remaining batsmen doing much, the innings closed for 335. Following on 298 in arrears, Warwickshire made 223 for four wickets ere stumps were drawn, Devey, Charles- worth, Fishwick and Quaife all being seen to advan­ tage. There were 98 extras in the match.

On the opening day 20 wickets went dow'n on a good pitch for 339 runs, the ball for the most part beating the bat in an unaccountable fashion. The innings of the visitors was marked by a good display by Bowell who, hitting seven 4’s, scored 66 out of 149in one hundred and forty-five minutes,with­ out a chance. Derbyshire commenced excellently in response to the 201 made by their opponents, W right and Morton making 76 together for the first wicket. Against Badcock and Llewellyn, however, the next nine fell for 62, the consequence being that at the end of the day, when each side had completed an innings, Hampshire could claim a lead of 63. Tuesday’s play was noteworthy for a fine innings by Johnston, who scored 150 out of 286 in two hundred and eighty minutes- It was a patient display, characterised by very fine defence. He hit thirteen 4’s, and gave only one chance—in the slips when 79. Bowell helped him to make 75 for the first wicket, whilst with Bacon he added 96 for the fifth. The last named hit seven 4’s in his useful 53. The innings closed for 316, and Derbyshire, left 380 to win, scored 17 for the loss of W right before stumps were drawn. Yesterday Ollivierre and Cad­ man made a great effort for their side but, receiving very poor support, could not prevent Derbyshire from succum bing by 160runs.
