294 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J uly 25, 1907. seventeen 4’s. Wood was ninth out at 363 after batting four hours and a-half: he gave no chance in his 133 and hit twelve 4’s and seven 3’s. His previous highest score of the season had been only 28 . Going in against a total of 390, Derbyshire had lost Wright and Slater for five runs before stumps were drawn. On Friday the third wicket went down with 27 added, but Ollivierre, who was missed by Knight at cover-point when 22, and Needham remained together an hour and added 104 for the fourth wicket. Warren afterwards made a few good hits, but the home side were called upon to follow- on 192 in arrears. In their second innings they fared better, Wright and Humphries adding 94 for the second wicket and Lawton and Cooper 64 for the eighth. Lawton made his 106 in two hours and ten minutes without a mistake and hit a dozen 4’s. It was the first hundred hit for Derbyshire during the season. Leicestershire quickly made the few runs required to win for the loss of Wood’s wicket. Score and analysis L eicestershire . W. W. Odell, c Olli­ vierre. b Warren . 32 Sir A. G.

Humphreys drove well, and Troughton played a good game, but th&innings closed for 231. In the remaining hour and a-quarter Essex made 120 for the loss of a single wicket, Fane and Perrin adding 98 without being parted in 80 minutes, after Douglas had been caught at mid-on at 22. On Friday the pair remained together until the second wicket had realised 142 in 115 minutes, Perrin then being caught at slip in playing forward. The batsman named was at the wicket a couple of hours for his excellent 75: he hit a dozen 4’s and a 5, and gave only one chance- to Dillon when he had made 50. Fane, after being in for 165 minutes, was third out at 189 for a faultless 93 which contained a 5 and twelve 4’s, three of them off an over from Fairservice. McGahey batted 20 minutes ere making a run, and at 198 Gillingham was stumped. With the arrival of Freeman the game brightened considerably. Making strokes all round the wicket, he claimed 62 of the 120 added in 100minutes with A'cGahey for the fifth wicket: he hit nine 4’s. McGahey and Buckenham put on 79 for the sixth wicket, and the former stayed until 411, when he was lbw for a fortunate innings of 108, made out of 247 in three hours and a-half: he hit seven 4’s. When the tenth wicket fell, Essex were as many as 205 ahead on the first innings, and they added to their advantage by getting rid of Dillon, Marsham, and Seymour for 30. Woolley and Har­ dinge improved matters somewhat for Kent by adding 44 without being separated, but the latter was missed by Gillingham at the end of the day, when Kent, with seven wickets in hand, were 131 runs behind With 6 added on the following morning, Woolley was caught at slip, but the hundred was sent up without further loss. Hardinge, when 44, was twice missed off Buckenham, and the mistakes proved rather expensive: he and Hum­ phreys added 47 for the fifth wicket, whilst with l roughton he put on 34 for the sixth. He hit eight 4’s in his 65, which, apart from the chances men­ tioned, was a capital innings. Huish and Fairservice hit well, but Essex were set only 59 to win—a number they obt lined for the loss of only one wicket. Score and analysis:— K ent . First innings. Second innings. O. H. B.

KENT v. ESSEX. PJayed at Tunbridge Wells on July 18, 19, and 20. Essex won by nine wickets. In the absence of Mr. Burnup, owing to business claims, Mr. Troughton was again included in the Kent side and again did himself credit by playing two useful innings. Dillon and Marsham opened the innings together, and the latter had made only 7 when he was missed at slip by Freeman. It was not until play had been in progress 55 minutes and 44 runs had been made that the first wicket fell, Marsham then being caught at mid-off for 21. Seymour, who was missed at slip off Mead when 4, made only 17, but helped Dillon to put on 37 for the second wicket ere being caught at long-on. Dillon was scoring well all round the wicket, and com­ pleted his 50 after batting 100 minutes. With Woolley—a fellow left-hander-he added 47 in 40 minutes, and then, at 128,was bowled by Buckenham for a faultless innings of 60 which lasted two hours and five minutes. Four runs later Woolley was run Total.................231 Total..........263 Buckenham, c Blythe, b Fairservice..........35 R. P. Keigwin, c Har­ dinge, b Fairservice 8 S. P.

Played at Brighton on July 18,19, and 20. Worcestershire won by six wickets. These two counties had never met before, so the visit of the Worcestershire team naturally created much interest. The feature of the Sussex innings was the batting of Fry, who, going in first, reached 50 out of 78 in 75 minutes and 100 out of 168 in 150, making altogether 125 out of 211 in three hours and a-quarter before being caught at the wicket offa lob. He hit fourteen 4’s, the majority of them powerful strokes in front of the wicket, and was seldom at fault. In the early part of his innings he was once all but bowled, whilst when he had made 42 he gave a sharp chance to R. E. Foster at slip. He found two very useful partners in Vine and Robert Relf, making 55 for the first wicket in 50 minutes with the former, and adding 111 for the fourth in 95 with the latter. After the fall of the sixth wicket Leach and Smith made 38 together in 35 minutes, and when the innings closed for 299 the latter carried out his bat for 47, made in an hour and a-half. At the end of the day Bowley and Pearson made 59 without being separated in three-quarters of an hour, and on tho following morning remained together until their partnership for the first wicket had lasted an hour and a half and realised 112, Pearson then being caught for 44. Bowley, who cut and drove well, played-on at 124, having played a capital innings of 65, included in which were eleven 4’s. R. E. Foster, who was missed when 21, and his brother “ G. N.” afterwards put on 84 in 50minutes, the latter, driving and cutting very skilfully, hitting thirteen 4’s and making 74 out of 132 in an hour and a-half. Arnold and Cuffe added 53 in 65 minutes, and with Burns exceeding the half-century the total reached 415 before the last wicket fell. The elder Relf took half the wickets at a cost of 21 runs each, and was the only bowler to cause the batsmen any trouble. Sussex, in a minority of 116, started their second innings with Robert Relf and Vine, Fry holding himself back until the morning. Relf was bowled at 16, and at 54 Vine was well caught at slip off the last ball of the day, Sussex then being 62 behind with eight wickets in hand. Fry went in first thing in the morning and lost Killick with only 13 added, and the elder Relf soon aftorwards. Simms and Smith, however, rendered Fry good assistance, the former helping to add 85 for the fifth wicket in an hour and the latter 41 for the sixth. The last few wickets gave little trouble, and when the last man was caught at the wicket the visitors were left only 149 to win. Fry batted faultlessly for three hours and hit ten 4’s. Worcestershire always had tho game in hand and won easily by six wickets, G. N. Foster and Arnold finishing the game by means of an unfinished partnership of 64. Score and analysis E ssex . F. L.
