J une 6, 1907. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 189 T H E SO U T H AFRICANS. 5 t h MATCH.—v. CAMBRIDGE UNI­ VERSITY. Played at Cambridge on June 3, 4 and 5. Drawn. On Monday the rain restricted play to 35 minutes’ during which time Tancred and Shalders, by cautious cricket—the first six overs sent down were maidens— made 16 without being separated. On Tuesday the wicket was soft and slow. Tancred, after being in an hour for 18, was caught at 43, and eight runs later Shalders was sent back for 29, which took 70 minutes to compile. Both Faulkner and Nourse fell at 54, whilst when Yogler was dismissed by a good catch by Meakin, half the side were out for 67. Sin­ clair then appeared and, with White, effected an improvement: he claimed 44 of the 77 added for the sixth wicket in 80 minutes. He made five 4’s,mostly drives, in his 44, but was missed when 42. White too, was fortunate, as he was let off when 38 and again when 43. Napier took six of the visitors’ wickets for 73 runs, and was very well supported by the field. Cambridge lost Baily and Mugliston for half-a-dozen, but immediately afterwards Payne and Buchanan hit Vogler for 18 (4,1, 4, 4,1, 4) in an over, and during their lively partnership of ten minutes put on 34. Goodwin batted well for 45 minutes for 24, and carried out his bat, but nobody else did much, the innings closing for 103. Vogler, considering that he was punished for 18 in an over, did well to take five wickets for 42. In the twenty minutes during which they batted at the end of the day, the South Africans scored 11 for the loss of Tancred’s wicket. Yesterday play was out of the question on account of the rain.

On Tuesday the start was delayed until 2.15, owing to the state of the wicket. Before he had increased his overnight total Makepeace was finely caught in the slips by Leo for a faultless effort. The rest of the side gave a poor display, considering the state of the wicket, and when the last wicket fell, could claim a lead of only six runs. Braund, who took four wickets for 41, batted well when Somerset went in the second time, making 65 with Palairet for the first wicket, and 51 with Lewis for the second. In all he scored 49 not out in 140 minutes, and carried out his bat at the close of the day, when Somerset, with eight wickets in hand, possessed a lead of 120. On Wednesday morning the last-named was sent back at 146, after batting 175 minutes for his very valuable 58. Wickets then fell rapidly against Harry and Dean, the former during the day taking his six wickets for 26 runs. Lancashire, set 181 to win, lost Huddleston at 11, Tyldesley at 26, and Makepeace at 44. Sharp afterwards played a very good innings, and it was due chiefly to him and a couple of missed catches that Lancashire won an exciting game by a couple of wickets. Score and analysis:— S omerset . SOMEESET v. LANCASHIRE. Played at Bath on June 3, 4, and 5. Lancashire won by two wickets. On a fairly easy wicket Somerset started so badly that seven wickets fell for 71. F. M. Lee, however, pulled the side round, and during the eighty minutes he was in scored 71 out of 83 : he hit well all round the wicket, but was especially strong on the off-side. With Paul, of Taunton, who holds a scholastic posi­ tion at Eastbourne, he put on 53 for the 8th wicket in 50 minutes, and with Mordaunt 29 for the ninth. At the end of the innings the latter and Bailey added 30 for the last wicket, the total realising 183. Cook, who bowled very skilfully, took seven of the wickets for 86.

SUSSEX v. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. Played at Brighton on June 3, 4 and 5. Notts, won by six wickets. On the first day so much progress was made with the game that twenty-one wickets went down for 317 runs. Sussex, batting first, were disposed of in an hour and three-quarters for 81. Goldie made his 25 not out in fifty minutes, whilst R. Relf, who scored 22, was in forty minutes for his first 5. Against Cox, Notts lost their three first wickets fox- 26, whilst six were down for 87. John Gunn, however, came to the rescue, and was so well supported by Alletson that the seventh wicket realised 87 in fifty minutes. Gunn, who was last man out, hit fourteen 4’s, and gave no chance during the one hundred and seventy minutes he was in. Going in against a majority of 138, Sussex lost the elder Relf for 7 by the end of the day, when the score was 17 for one wicket. The wicket was better and the weather warmer on Tuesday, when Vine and Killick continued their up-hill game. The former played rather a freer game than usual, and scored his faultless 67 out of 132 in one hundred and forty minutes—he hit ten 4’s and with Killick added 119 for the second wicket in one hundred and thirty minutes. Wickets fell quickly after lunch, but it was not until Killick had made a chanceless 80 out of 169 in one hundred and ninety-five minutes that a good catch at deep- mid-off dismissed him. When rain caused play to be suspended, Sussex, with four wickets to fall, were 45 runs on. On Wednesday the Sussex tail collapsed against Wass, who took eight wickets for 65 runs. Notts, were set only 65 to win, but lost four men in the task, Cox taking three wickets in an over. John Gunn and Branston, however, after­ wards obtained all the necessary runs, and Notts, won by six wickets. Score and analysis :— S ussbx . First innings.
