Cricket 1907

M a y 23, 1907. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 155 side loses. Most cricketers, in truth, misunderstand or maybe have not troubled to read the rule.” In the circumstances mentioned, the umpires, upon being appe tied to, would have no choice but to award the game to the fielding side. B ow lin g records are so rarely accom­ plished in first-class matches nowadays that prominence must be given to Albert Trott’s feat for Middlesex against Somerset at Lord’s yesterday. In the seconi innings of the latter he not only took four wickets with consecutive balls without receiving any assistance from any of his confreres, but a little later performed the hat-trick as well. This, I believe, constitutes a record. At least, the nearest approach to it that I can recall occurred in the Notts v. Glouces­ tershire match at Trent Bridge in 1884, when Alfred Shaw did the hat-trick in each innings of the latter in addition to taking three wickets in four balls in the first. That Trott should have per­ formed his great feat in his own benefit match, and so have hastened on the end of the game, is curious, and reminds one of the cricketing parson who was called upon to pray for rain on the eve of an August Bank-holiday.

HAMPSHIRE v. DERBYSHIRE. Played at Southampton on May 20, 21 and 22. Hampshire won by seven wickets. At no time during the opening day was run- getting ail easy matter, the seventeen wickets which fell realizing only 296 runs. The visitors lost their first two wickets for 14, but a fine and faultless innings by Cadman pulled the game round. With Morton he put on 48 in an hour, and, after seven wickets had fallen for 139, 73 in forty-five minutes with Rickman, who wasmissed early. Hampshire lost Bowell and Hill in Cadman’s first over, whilst Sprot was bowled at 15. Mead, however, showed fine defence and owing chiefly to him the score had been taken to 79 for four wickets when stumps were drawn. On the following morning Stone played a very fine game for his side : with Mead he added 51 and with Langford 64. He batted two hours and a half for his 97 not out, and was unfortunate not to complete his hundred. When the innings closed the home side were left with a lead of 55. Derbyshire, upon batting the second time, collapsed for 110 in just over a couple of hours, Cadman and Buckston alone showing to advantage. Hampshire made the necessary 56 runs in forty minutes, and won by seven wickets. Score and analysis:— D erbyshire . First innings. L. G. Wright, c Bowell, b Langford ........................26 C. A.

T H E SOU TH AFRICANS. 1 s t M a tch .— v. LEICESTERSHIRE. Played at Leicester on May 20, 21, and 22. South Africans won by 98 runs. About 5,000 people assembled on the opening day to see the South Africans commence their tour, and they had the satisfaction of witnessing their county hold its own. The conditions were certainly not in favour of the visitors, but their display was some­ what disappointing nevertheless. They lost three wickets through bad judgment in running and, except when Hathorn and Nourse were together, never appeared likely to make a large score. Tan­ cred and Sherwell were both run out by Hazlerigg, whilst White lost his wicket through trying a third run for a hit. Nourse drove well, and showed strong back play, but he was nearly run out after lunch. The last six wickets of the visitors fell in 40 minutes for 43 against Jayes and Astill, the innings closing for 145. The last-mentioned, a young medium slow right-hand bowler of 19, kept a good length, varied his pace well, and broke both ways. Schwarz bowled Wood at 4 and Knight at 18, following which Whitehead and Joyce put on 35 by careful cricket. During the partnership rain stopped play for an hour, the score then being 52 for two wickets. Near the end of the day Tancred injured his hand in trying to stop a drive by Whitehead and was obliged to leave the lield in consequence. When stumps were drawn the County, with seven wickets in hand, were 72 runs behind. On Tuesday morning the County established a lead of only four, the innings closing for 149. Whitehead, who hit four 4’s and played a very valuable game, made 44 out of 96 in 80 minutes, whilst Coe, the second highest scorer, was twice missed. Both Crawford and Jayes were out lbw to a ball they did not attempt to play and, the the last two wickets being taken by Schwarz with consecutive balls, the innings closed for 149. Schwarz, with six wickets for 55, was the most successful bowler. Sinclair, who opened the second innings with Sherwell, was sent back at 6, and Hathorn at 14. Nourse then went in and whilst mak­ ing his 41 showed the best cricket of the day. At one time, whilst in with Sherwell, he made 37 off the reel, and, in all, scored his 41 out of 53 in 40 minutes: he made some fine drives and showed himself strong on the leg-side. Sherwell was in 100 minutes for his runs, and, after seven wickets had fallen for 104, Snooke and Faulkner added 48 in 50 minutes. Set 153 to win, Leicestershire lost shields before stumps were drawn with only 6 runs scored. Yesterday Leicestershire gave a very disappointing display, and were beaten by 98 runs, Vogler and Schwarz bowling unchanged. Three men ran themselves out, and at no time did it appear likely that the County would pull through. Score and analysis:— S outh A fricans . First innings. L. J. Tancred, run out ... 2 P. W.
