Cricket 1907

140 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a y 16, 1907. M.C.C. AND GROUND y . DERBYSHIRE. Played at Lord’s on May 13, 14 and 15. M.C.C. won by five wickets. On the first day twenty wickets fell for 218 runs, the County somewhat unexpectedly obtaining a lead of S on the first innings. The County lost half their wickets for 41, and it was only a good display by Morton which pulled the side round. Trott went on with the score five for 62, and in his second over sent back Hunter, Cooper and Warren. Eight wickets were then down for 66, following which Morton and Bracey, a left-hander, remained together fifty-five minutes, in which time they put on 47. Trott came through with the capital analysis of five for 21, and thoroughly deserved his success. The wicket had improved somewhat by the time the home side went in, but they made so bad a start that half the wickets fell for 31 against Warren and Braccy. Baker and Doyle remained together three-quarters of an hour, adding 41, and Major Barnes, who batted an hour for 3 not out, was in for forty-five minutes before making a run. With the close of, the Marylebone innings play ended for the day. No play was possible on Tuesday owing to the state of the ground after very heavy rain. On a soft wicket yesterday Derbyshire lost Ollivierre, Wright, and Buckston for 5, but Cadman and Hum­ phries stayed and put on 56 together—a most invaluable partnership. Hunter afterwards made a few good strokes, but the M.C.C. were set only 116 to win. Tarrant was quickly out, after which Tancred and Braund hit well, and took the total to 63 ere a separation was effected. Trott hit 28 out of 37, and practically put the result beyond doubt. The M.C.C. won by five wickets. Score and analysis : D erbyshire . First innings. L. G. Wright, c Hubble, b Hearne............................... C. A.

The Essex team was strengthened by the inclusion of Douglas for Cooper, but the appearance of Fry in the Sussex side was again postponed. The wicket was slow and the cricket unattractive, the visitors batting the whole day for 327 runs and losing seven wickets. After Douglas and Fane had both been sent back at 37, McGahey and Freeman added 43 for the third wicket in forty-five minutes, and the former and Gillingham 108 for the fourth in an hour and three-quarters. The captain batted two hours and a-half for 80, hitting only four 4’s : he was missed when he had made 66 by Leach at long-leg. Gilling­ ham gave a brighter display, and made his 77 out of 152 in one hundred and fifty minutes without a mis­ take. All the succeeding players reached double figures, but the cricket was featureless. On Tuesday the last three Essex wickets increased the total by 46, a result largely due to Buckenham who, in all, made 52 in one hundred minutes, he and Kortright adding 66 together in fifty-five minutes. Sussex lost the elder Relf to the second ball sent down, but, although Vine and Killick put on 46and Chaplin made a useful score, five wickets fell for 103. Smith and Cox afterwards added 33, and Leach and Simms 49, but Sussex had to follow-on 164 in arrears. In their second innings they lost A. E. Relf and Killick for 52, and when play was resumed yesterday still required 112 to save the innings defeat. It was a disappointing day from the point of view of the home side. Yesterday Vine and Chaplin, who batted very well, put on 86 for the third wicket, but the latter was afterwards accorded very poor support, and the visitors .won easily by ten wickets. Vine carricd his bat through the innings, and played a splendid game for his side. He batted four hours and a-quarter without making a mistake. Score and analysis:— E ssex . F. L. Fane, c Cox, b A.

THE H A T-TR IC K B Y H ALLAM . Notts won by an innings and 42 runs. On a good wicket Leicestershire gave a most disappointing display on the opening day, losing their first six wickets for 30 runs in three-quarters of an hour. Rain then stopped play, Hallam at that period having taken four wickets for 19 runs and Wass two for 11. Upon the resumption little resistance was made to the attack until Whitehead and Odell put on 46 for the ninth wicket in half an hour. Both played an invaluable game, White­ head, who was strong on the on-side, and hit seven 4’s, batting two hours for 56. The total reached only 134, and this the home side exceeded by 31 by the end of the day for the loss of but two wickets. Iremonger, who was at his best, received very useful support, making 62 in partnership with Jones, 43 with John Gunn, and 60 without a separa­ tion being effected with George Gunn. No cricket was possible on Tuesday owing to heavy rain. Yesterday neither Iremonger nor Gunn (G.) added to their total, the former, who batted two hours without a mistake, being out off the first ball. In their second innings Leicestershire gave an in­ glorious display against Hallam and Wass, and were all dismissed for 56, of which Vivian Crawford and Knight each made 20. Hallam at the close of the innings performed the hat-trick, his victims being V. Crawford, Shields, and Odell, and Notts won by an innings and 42 runs. There wore no extras in either innings of the home side. Score and analysis: L eicestershire . First innings. C. J. B.

Yorkshire won by three wickets. The home side wero able to put only a weak eleven in the field against their powerful opponents, and a victory for Yorkshire was anticipated from the first in consequence. Wrathall made 22 of the first 29 runs, whilst Godsell, who batted very patiently, was second out at 52, of which number he claimed only 10. Half the side were out for 69, but Langdon and Winstone, who showed very promising form, put on 37 for the sixth wicket, and, with Dennett making some capital hits at the end of the innings, the total reached 145, made in one hundred and seventy minutes. Hirst took six wickets for 56 runs, but bowled many loose balls which escaped
