Cricket 1907

M a y 30, 1907. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 165 lost their first four wickets against Trott for 21 following which Jessop, hitting six 4’s, made 41 out of 42 in half-an-hour. Tarrant afterwards bowled very successfully and the whole side were out in an hour and a-half for 85. Warner and Tarrant made 31 for the first Middlesex wicket, but Litteljohn left in the same over. Tarrant made his 23 out of 55 in an hour, and, later, Trott, making seven 4’s, scored 38 out of 50 in thirty-five minutes. Dennett took six wickets for 64 runs, but was scarcely as successful as was anticipated, considering the state of the ground. Gloucestershire, 33 behind, lost Godsell, Board, and Wrathall for 24, and, although Jessop made 30 out of 37 in half-an-hour, Middlesex were set only 42 to win. Tarrant again bowled admirably, and altogether took thirteen wickets for 87 runs. With the close of the innings play ceased for the day. On Friday Middlesex made the runs without loss in forty-five minutes. Score and analysis :— G loucestershire . First innings. R. T.

GORRINGE’S SIDE. Played at Cambridge on May 23, 24 and 25. Mr. Napier’s Side won by an innings and 36 runs. This match, in which only one Blue took part, was played instead of First XI. v. Next XIV. as origin­ ally arranged. The wicket was so soft on the first day that no play took place prior to lunch, but by the time stumps were drawn Napier’s Side had completed their innings for 246. Reunert and Ban­ croft proved the highest scorers, and put on 92 whilst together. On the second day play was again considerably curtailed, but during the time available Gorringe’s Side made 101 for four wickets when they followed*on after being dismissed by Napier and Rattigan in an hour and a-half for 54. On Saturday the innings closed for 155, Napier’s side winning easily by an innings and 36 runs. Score and analysis :— Mr. G. G. N a p ie r ’ s S id e . H. W. Priestley, b Mackenzie ......... 1 H. W.

LANCASHIRE v. KENT. Played at Manchester on May 23, 24 and 25. Lancashire won by 6 runs. Although no play was possible on the first day until ten minutes past three, owing to rain, thirteen wickets fell before stumps were drawn. Lancashire, who did not appear at full strength, lost their first three wickets forj 16 runs in fifty-five minutes, Tyldesley being bowled by a ball which sent a bail sixty yards from the wicket. Sharp hit well all round the wicket, and made his 47out of 76in seventy minutes. With Make­ peace he added 52 for the fourth wicket in just under the hour. Fielder bowled at a great pace throughout and kept a splendid length, and quite deserved his analysis of seven for 31. At the end of the day, Kent, in a bad light, lost three wickets in half-an-hour for 21. During the night there was more rain, and when play was resumed on Friday the wicket rendered assistance to the bowlers. Dean performed very well, and, owing largely to him, the Kent innings realized only 115. Lancashire in tneir second innings lost five wickets for 52, but, owing to a shower which eased the wicket during the luncheon interval, totalled 171, which was a much better total than had been anticipated. Stanning played a plucky game, but when 30 was let off by Seymour. Kent had to go in to get 165 to win, and, after they had lost four wickets for 26, Hutchings and Mason took the score to 61 without further loss ere play ceased for the day. On Saturday, on a wicket not favouring run-getting, Kent had 104 to make with six wickets in hand. With only 14 added Hutchings was brilliantly caught and bowled, the fifth wicket having altogether put on 49. Mason played a very sound and praiseworthy game during the one hundred and forty minutes he was in : with Humphreys he added 20 in forty minutes, and with Blaker 38 in three-quarters of an hour. The last-named was in an hour for 26. When the ninth wicket fell, at 152, 13 runs were still required, but only six had been added when Huish was given out lbw, Lancashire thus winning by six runs.

LEICESTERSHIRE v. NOTTS. Played at Leicester on May 23, 24, and 25. Notts won by nine wickets. Although no play was possible on the first day owing to rain, so much progress was made on Friday that the visitors were able to pull off the match by nine wickets. On the second day less than four hours’ cricket was possible, but during that time Notts replied to a total of 134 by making 64 in an hour for the loss of one wicket. Knight hit well, although he made only four 4’s, and with Wood, whose defence was very strong, put on 74 Ifor the third wicket in 65 minutes. Five wickets fell for 87, but V. F. S. Crawford afterwards made some powerful hits and the total reached 134. Oates was in splendid form behind the wicket and made six catches. George Gunn batted a couple of hours for 32, playing a very valuable game, but, owing to the effective bowling of R. T. Crawford, the innings closed for 137. When they went in the second time, Leicestershire gave a very poor disnlay, Hallam’s bowling proving altogether too good for them. They collapsed in just over an hour for 68, and Notts, set only 66 to win, made the runs for the loss of a wicket, Jones again being seen to advantage. Score
