J une 13, 1907. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 197 T H E S O U T H A F R I C A N S . 6 th MATCH.—v. NORTHAMPTON- SHIEE. Played at Northampton on June 6, 7 and 8. The South Africans won by 83 rung. On account of rain, less than three hours’ play was possible on the opening day. The South Africans endeavoured to force the game, but Thompson kept such a fine length that they failed. Tancred and Sinclair fell to consecutive balls, half the side then being out for 22, Thompson having accounted for all the wickets himself at a cost of but 10 runs. After Sherwell had been dismissed, the sixth out, at 26, Schwarz and White made a very opportune stand of 45 minutes, during which time they added 52 for the seventh wicket. Rain had previously fallen and eased the wicket: otherwise the side mightwell have been out for about 60, if not for less. Schwarz played a most valuable game, but might have been stumped on two occasions, whilst Smith, who made 15, was missed when he had scored a couple. The innings lasted two hours and a-half and realised 115, Thompson, who had 14 no-balls recorded on the score-sheet against him, taking six wickets for 41. The County had 35 minutes’ batting at the end of the day, and during that time lost three wickets for 20 runs against Schwarz and Sinclair. On Friday the collapse continued, and at the end of 70 minutes seven wickets had fallen for 37. Buswell made a few good strokes, but the innings closed for 57. Schwarz, who gave all the batsmen trouble, obtained six wickets for 11 runs in seventeen overs. In their second innings the South Africans found S. Q. Smith’s left-hand slows very difficult, and in 65 minutes he had dismissed Shalders, Faulkner, Nourse, and Tancred for 47. Schwarz again made the highest score on the side, but, although he made some good drives, he was a trifle fortunate. Smith maintained an excellent length, and took his seven wickets for less than 9 runs each. The County were set 202 to win, and lost three wickets for 17. Smith made 35 in promising style, and with Thompson put on 47 for the fourth in three-quarters of an hour. But at the end of the day four men were out for 66. On Saturday Thompson defended very strongly, taking 115 minutes to score 22; with Kingston he added 24 for the fifth wicket, but Schwarz and White afterwards bowled with such effect that the South Africans won easily by 83 runs. In addition to making the highestscore in each innings, Schwarz took ten wickets for 40. Score and analysis S outh A fricans . First innings. Second innings. W. A.

SURREY y. SUSSEX. Played at the Oval on June 6 and 7. Surrey won by an innings and 94 runs. On the first day play was in progress on a slow wicket for three hours only, and was three times interrupted by rain. Surrey were without Lees and Loid Dalmeny, Mr. Leveson-Gower making a very welcome reappearance. Hobbs played a valuable but lucky innings of 55, being missed when 11 and 43. In giving his first chance, in the long-field, a stroke of bad fortune befel Sussex, for Vine, in endeavouring to bring off the catch, dislocated a finger and was prevented from taking further part in the match. Hayward was caught at cover-point at 26, Hayes sent back at 47, and Holland at 53. Crawford, playing admirably, helped to put on 37 in three-quarters of an hour, and at the end of the day Marshal and Hitch added 41 together without being separated in 25minutes. On Friday the four wickets added 53, the best form being shown by Marshal, who took 80 minutes to score his 40. In response to Surrey’s total of 227, Sussex fared dismally, six on the side being out without a run, and the innings lasting only 70 minutes. Killick, going in first wicket down before a run had been made, batted admirably, but received no support.. In the follow- on, Fry stayed in an hour for 26, but the last five wickets went down for 26 in 40 minutes, and Surrey were left winners by an innings and 94 runs. Craw­ ford, in his last eleven overs, took five wickets for 15 runs, and in the whole match obtained eleven for 63. Score and analysis S urrey .

Yorkshire won by an innings and 26 runs. The University were not at full strength in this match, neither Young nor Morcom playing. On the opening day no play was possible prior to lunch, and when a start was made it was upon a slow wicket which assisted the bowlers somewhat. Against Hirst the first few batsmen did badly, and when an adjournment was necessary on account of rain four wickets were down for 33. Upon the resumption Rhodes proved deadly, and the seventh wicket fell at 39. Mugliston, fortunately for the University, defended well and played amost valuable innings. Lyttelton helped him to add 47 in three- quaiters of an hour and Rattigan 20 in 30 minutes, a total of 109 being reached. Hirst took six of the wickets for 26 runs, and was always difficult. Before play ceased for the day, the County scored 7 runs for the loss of Tunnicliffe’s wicket. On Friday Myers played a lucky game, being let off when 14,1$, and again later: he made 33 out of 78 in 85 minutes, and with Hunter put on 59 for the second wicket in an hour. Hirst and Denton added 64 together in 40 minutes and Rothery and Hardisty 33 in 25, the result being that Yorkshire gained the very useful lead of 98 on the innings. In the remaining hour and a-quarter, Cambridge lost half their wickets against Rhodes and Haigh for 57, play ceasing for the day at a quarter to five, when rain commenced to descend heavily. On Saturday morning Elderton was sent back in the first over, and Buchanan was stumped shortly afterwards. Goodwin, Lyttelton, and Napier fell to Haigh in quick succession at a cost of three runs, and Yorkshire won easily by an innings and 26 runs. Haigh’s analysis in the second innings is worthy of perusal. Score and analysis :— C am bridge U n iversity. First innings. Second innings. M. W.

Played at Southampton on June 6, 7, and 8. A GREAT VICTORY. Hampshire won by five wickets. With Dillon, Mason, and Blythe away, Kent were not at full strength, but the Hampshire victorv by five wickets, after 306 had been left to get in the' last innings, was a most meritorious one. The match opened with some bright cricket on the part of
