A ug . 30, 1906. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF a THE GAME. 379 ^ SUSSEX v. ESSEX. Played at Hastings on August 27, 28 and 29. Drawn. On the opening day of this match Perrin played a splendid innings of 150, scoring more off his own bat than all his confreres put together. He reached 50 out of 83 in seventy-five minutes, and 100 out of 166 in one hundred and forty-five, making altogether 150 out of 265 in three hours and a-half. The chief hits in his faultless display were two 6’s and sixteen 4’s, and with McGahey he put on 66 for the third wicket in an hour. Mead and Russell, at the end of the innings, quickly added 30, the total reaching 299. Sussex lost Vine at 44, but Latham and Killick remained together until the close, when the score was 65 for one wicket. On Tuesday Latham, who scored 50 out of 105 in an hour and a-half and hit seven 4’s, remained in with Killick until the second wicket had put on 61 in forty-five minutes. Killick batted on hour and a-quarter for his 53, in which were eight 4’s, but was missed when he had made 45; with the elder Relf he put on 44 for the third wicket in half-an-hour. Half the side were out for 186, but, thanks mainly to Cox and Robert Relf, who added 41 together, and to Leach and Butt, who put on 30 for the last wicket, Sussex were able to claim a lead of 16 at the end of the in n in g. Cox batted an hour and a-quarter for his 53, and hit well all round the wicket. When they went in the second time Essex lost Douglas at 34, but, without being separated, Perrin and Fane added 100 together in as many minutes before play ceased for the day, the former taking out his bat for 52 and the latter for 55. Yesterday Perrin and Fane stayed together until the second wicket had put on 109 in 105 minutes, Perrin then being caught. Fane made his 62 in 165 minutes without giving a chance. He hit eight 4’s and, with McGahey, put on 45 in 20 minutes. The last-named scored 58 in 70 minutes, and in half-an- hour Gillingham and Turner added 95 without being separated, the innings then being declared closed, leaving Sussex 348 to win. Sussex made a poor start, Latham being out in the first over. Killick, A. E. Relf and Cox did not stay long, and, when four wickets had fallen, a definite result appeared not improbable. Smith, however, then joined Vine, and the bowlers met with no further success, the pair being still together when, with the score 204 for four wickets, stumps were drawn.

Townsend, Gloucester­ shire scored 362 on the first day—a good score— stumps being drawn when the last wicket fell. Sewell gave a very bright display, and was seen at his best, scoring 87 out of 114 added with Board for the third wicket in 65 minutes, and hitting fifteen 4’s. Board played a slow but valuable innings, and hit six 4’s during the 140 minutes he was in. Roberts showed very good form, scoring 48 in 65 minutes, and Ford and Dennett added 45 for the last wicket in forty minutes. C. F. Lyttelton, who was given a trial for Worcestershire, is the third son of Lord Cobham, who is better known to cricketers as the Hon. C. G. Lyttelton. On Tuesday the home side commenced splendidly, Bowley and Foster making 130 for the first wicket, the latter, who hit seven 4’s, then being caught. Bowley, after hitting nine 4’s, was second out, at 146, and at lunch time the score was 180 for three. After the interval Dennett and Champain bowled with such success that the last seven wickets fell for 73, leaving the visitors with a lead of 109 on the first innings. In their second innings the visitors fared by no means well, only Board obtaining any mastery over the bowling. At the end of the day they had lost six wickets for 151, and were then 260 runs on. Yesterday morning the closing stage of the visitors’ innings was marked by a fine forcing display on the part of Cliampain, who, when the innings closed for 246, was left to carry out his bat for 56. Worcestershire were left 270 minutes in which to obtain 356 to win. A t 37 Foster was caught and almost immediately afterwards Bowley was l.b.w. Burns made only a single, but Arnold, who played a great game, helped Pearson to add 102 for the fourth wicket. The majority of the latter men made useful scores and, when time arrived, the home side, with one wicket to fall, required 23 runs to win. Cuffe played a great game for his side, and almost pulled off the match. Score and analysis G lo u cester sh ire . First innings. E.

Played at Bath on August 27, 28 and 29. TW O SEPARATE 1 0 0 ’ S BY HIRST. Yorkshire won by 389 runs. S. M. J. W oods, owing to a sprain, was unable to appear in this match, but Palairet assisted the home side for the first time during the season. Tunnicliffe was disposed of with 24 scored, but, following his dismissal, Rhodes and Denton added 102 for the second wicket in fifty-five minutes before the former, who hit well on the off-side and made nine 4’s, was caught for a faultless innings of 64 made out of 126 in eighty minutes. Denton made 67 out of 137 in similar time, but might have been caught off the first ball he received; he hit eight 4’s, the majority of them cuts. The latter part of the innings was marked by a capital display on the part of Hirst, who was seen at his best, and made his fifth score of over a hundred during the season. W ith Taylor he added 64 for the fourth wicket in seventy minutes, and with Rudston 83 for the fifth in seventy-five, his own contribution being 111 out of 157 in just over two hours and a-half. He made some fine drives and pulls, and hit twelve 4’s in his faultless display. A t the end of the day eight wickets were down for 347. On Tuesday the innings quickly closed for 368, Braund taking six wickets for 125. Somerset gave a very disappointing display, and were all disposed of for 125 in two hours and forty minutes. Martyn was bowled at 7 and Lewis at 18. Braund played well, adding 44 with Johnson and 22 with Palairet, but half the side were out for 84. Palairet batted fifty-five minutes for his 31, but only Poyntz, who hit a 6 off.Rhodes, of the latter men reached double figures, the result being that Somerset were 243 behind on the first innings. Hirst took six wickets for 70. Yorkshire, with so much time at their disposal, decided to go in a second time in preference to making the home side follow-on. Rhodes and Tunnicliffe scored 78 for the first wicket in threo- quarters-of-an-hour, after which the former and Hirst remained together for the rest of the day, augmenting the score by 202 in seventy-five minutes, 170 at one period being added in an hour. Hirst, who had the double satisfaction of reaching three figures for the second time in the match, and of completing his 2,000 runs for the season, reached 52 in thirty-five minutes and 100 in sixty-six, scoring, altogether, 117 not out out of 202 in an hour-and-a- quartcr. He hit twenty-two 4’s and was once missed —when 93, when Johnson, in an attempt to catch him in the long-field, split his hand. Rhodes reached 100 in 95 minutes, and took two hours to score his 115 out of 280 made whilst in. He gave no chance and hit eighteen 4’s. It was a great day for the two men. When stumps were drawn Yorkshire were 523 runs on, and had nine wickets to fall. Their total of 280 for one wicket was made in two hours. Yesterday the visitors’ innings was at once declared closed, and Somerset had nothing to anticipate but a severe defeat. After four wickets had fallen for 40, Palairet and Martyn added 45 together before the latter, who completed his thousand runs for the sea­ son, was sent back. Palairet, who played a very stylish innings, again proved the highest scorer on the side. Robson afterwards made a few good hits, but Yorkshire won by 389 runs Score and analysis : Y o r k sh ir e .
