A ug . 8, 1907. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 333 YORKSHIRE v. LANCASHIRE. Played at Leeds on August 5, 6 , and 7. denton ’ s benefit . Yorkshire won by nine wickets. On the first day 18,695 people paid to witness the game, and as many as 22,810 were on the ground. Lancashire were without Sharp and Poidevin, who were injured, whilst Yorkshire, who enjoyed the services of Jackson, took the field without Haigh, who was indisposed. The weather was fine, but the wicket rather soft, and those who were present saw fifteen wickets go down in four hours and three- quarters on the opening day for 213 runs. The receipts on the Bank Holiday amounted to £879, whilst a collection made round the ground for Denton realised over £52. Lancashire made a very fair start, Spooner, who made some good hits, claiming 32 of the 47 made for the first wicket with MacLaren in an hour. Tyldesley was lbw two runs later, and at 59 MacLaren was bowled after batting eighty-five minutes for 23. Following his dismissal Hornby and Makepeace added 45 in forty minutes, but no one else reached double figures, and the innings closed for 136. Hornby played a free and valuable innings, and hit five 4’s whilst making 55 out of 71 in an hour and a quarter. Rhodes took six wickets at just under 12 runs apiece, and was the most successful bowler on the side. When the home side went in runs proved very difficult to get, and at the end of a half an hour, with the total only 10 , Jackson was bowled for 6 . Dean and Harry proved so effective that half the wickets were down for 39, but then a verty welcome stand was made by Rhodes and Wilkinson, who, in the remaining forty minutes, added 38 without being separated. The Lancashire fielding was very poor, and all the first four men on the home side were let off. On the following morn­ ing the pair continued to score well, and it was not until the wicket had put on 96 that Rhodes, having hit a dozen 4’s, was bowled for a splendid and fault­ less innings of 69, which took him one hundred and five minutes to compile. Myers, like Rhodes and Wilkinson, made a useful score, and although the last three wickets fell very quickly, the home side could claim a lead of 47 on the innings. Lancashire made 11 runs, all scored by Spooner, before lunch, after which showers twice caused delay. The first wicket fell at 45, but four men were out for 67. Then, however, Hornby and Stanning, by fine hitting, put on 78 in an hour, and when stumps wore drawn Lancashire, with four wickets in hand, were 112 runs on. During the day play was witnessed by 20,358 people, of whom 16,377 paid for admission, the receipts amounting to £637 and a collection round the ground realising £39. Yesterday Harry was out to the first ball sent down, and, nobody else making double figures, the innings closed for 179, leaving Yorkshire 133 to win. Jackson and Tunnicliffe gave the side a splendid start, though the latter was missed in the slips by MacLaren when only 13 had been made. At 58 Jackson was out to a fine running catch, and after his dismissal Denton assisted Tunni­ cliffe in obtaining the runs, Yorkshire accordingly winning by nine wickets. The receipts for the three days, apart, that is, from subscription lists, amounted to £1,776, the total attendance being 49,450. Score and analysis:— L ancashire . First innings. Second innings. A.

DERBYSHIRE v. HAMPSHIRE. Played at Derby on August 5, 6 , and 7. Derbyshire won by an innings and 93 runs. On a soft wicket the home side gave a very creditable display on the opening day, remaining at the wickets all the time play was possible and scoring 398 for eight wickets. Lawton again found it possible to appear, but Hampshire were handi­ capped by the absence of Hill. Derbyshire quickly lost a couple of wickets, Wright being bowled at 18 and Morton caught at 50. Ollivierre played a useful game, but the best cricket was seen during the partnership of Needham and Lawton, which pro­ duced 115 for the fourth wicket in seventy minutes. The latter, hitting well as usual, made ten 4’s in his attractive display. Cadmah afterwards helped to put on 96 in sixty-five minutes, and it was not until Needham had batted three hours that he was lbw for 119made out of 255 obtained whilst in : he gave only one chance—when 117—and hit eleven 4’s. Warren, who hit seven 4’s, made some capital strokes in his vigorous 52, and the innings, after lasting five hours and a-half, closed for 427. In response, Hampshiro made 180 for six wickets, Bowell and Llewellyn adding 52 for the fourth wicket, and Bacon and Persse putting on 54 together at the end of the day without being separated. Yesterday Bacon was bowled with 13 added, their partnership altogether realising 67 in an hour and ten minutes. Persse hit well, and batted 105 minutes for 71, included in which were ten 4’s. When Hampshire followed-on, 182 behind, they did very badly against Cadman and Bestwick, and were all disposed of for 89. The score of the innings tells its own story.

Played at Edgbaston on August 5, 6 , and 7. Drawn. The visitors were obliged to take tho field without Bowley, who was injured, and so included G. L. Crowe in the side, who made a successful debut for the the County the year before. G. N. Foster, who was missed when 3 by Charlesworth in the slips helped Pearson to make 43 for the first wicket in an hour. Several players made useful scores, but only Arnold (58), who batted a hundred and forty-five minut. s without achance and hit three 4’s, exceeded 40, and the innings closed 251. A feature of the play was the bowling of Quaife, which accounted for five wickets for 44. In the remaining half-hour, 23 runs were made without loss by Fishwick and Kinnier, who on Tuesday remained together until 94, when the former, after batting a hundred and five minutes, was caught at cover-point off a skyer for a faultless 59. The play was very slow, and when stumps were drawn, owing to rain, Warwickshire, with three wickets in hand, were 18 runs behind. On the third day Byrne and Santall made a useful stand, and with Hargreave reaching double figures Warwickshire were able to claim a lead of 22 on the innings. Worcestershire batted brightly in their second innings, and Pearson had the satisfaction of making 100, in which were eleven 4’s. With H. K. Foster he put on 43, with Arnold 61, and with R. E. Foster, who hit ten 4’s, 113 in an hour. After the innings had been declared closed, Warwickshire scored quickly, Baker and Fishwick sending up the hundred in 55 minutes.
