i 8 o CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 4, 190 8: D E R B Y S H IR E v . Y O R K SH IR E . Played at Chesterfield on May 28, 29 and 30. Yorkshire won by 196 runs. On the first day of this m atch sixteen w ickets went dow n for 280 runs on a good w icket, Y ork­ shire being dism issed for 190 in three hours and a-quarter and D erbyshire replying w ith 90 for six w ickets in 100 m inutes. The com m encem ent of the m atch was delayed for about half-an-hour, ow ing to the late arrival of the visitors, wh°» w inning the toss, m ade a deplorable start against W arren and Bestw ick. W ith only 14 scored, Rhodes, Denton, and R othery had all been dis­ posed of, the tw o first nam ed falling to conse­ cutive balls from Bestw ick. Two runs later W ilkinson, w hen he had m ade a single, should have been caught at the w icket, and the m istake, as it happened, proved very expensive. In com ­ pany w ith H irst, who gave no chance and hit a 5 and eight 4’s, he put on 103 for the fourth w icket in 85 m inutes, and, before being dism issed, scored 56 out of 122 in 110 m inutes b y steady play and hit ten 4’s. Bates and Myers put on 49 together for the sixth w icket, but then four w ickets fell in a couple of overs, W arren dis­ m issing Bates and H aigh and Lawton disposing of Myers and Hawke. In this w ay the last five w ickets fell for three runs, the innings being finished off sum m arily for 190. D erbyshire had a good start given them b y W right and Needham , w ho m ade 48 for the first w icket in 40 m inutes, but the form er was lu ckly inasm uch as he was tw ice m issed in m aking his first d ozen .. Sherwin was dism issed first ball, and Needham , having batted 50 m inutes and just equalled W right’s score, was run out for a sound innings of 20 . O liver played too late at a ball from H aigh, and upon his dism issal four w ickets were dow n for 51. M orton batted w ell, but at 67 another disaster occurred, Cadm an having his wicket spread-eagled by H irst. Lawton ju st reached double figures and, when stum ps w ere drawn, six w ickets were dow n for 90. D erbyshire w ound up the day in disappointing fashion after m aking a good start. On Friday Yorkshire forged steadily ahead, and w hen play ceased were 426 runs on w ith half their w ickets in hand. H irst and Haigh com m enced by getting dow n the last four wickets o f the hom e side for a dozen, and then a series of fine innings took Yorkshire right to the front. R othery and Rhodes sent up 50 in 50 m inutes, but at 67 the latter was bow led b y Lawton. R othery, m issed w hen 45 b y O liver at long-leg, was second out, at 95, for 51 m ade in an hour and a-half. D enton batted brightly and was third out, at 135, after w hich everything was dwarfed by the batting o f H irst. W ith W ilkinson, who batted 105 m inutes for 26— at one tim e he was in for 40 m inutes w ithout a run—he put on 56 for the fourth w icket in 65 m inutes, and w ith Bates, w ho obtained his first th irty runs by m eans of seven 4’s and a 2, 116 for the fifth in 80 m inutes. W hen 61 he was m issed in the slips and w hen 65 at m id-on, the unfortunate bow ler being Warren in each instance. H e reached three figures after batting tw o hours and a-half, and, at the end of the day, when five w ickets were dow n for 338, carried out his bat for 100 —his first three-figure score m ade against D erbyshire bow lipg. The Yorkshire innings was not declared closed first thin g on Saturday m orning, as had been antici­ pated, H irst and H aigh adding 14 m ore before the hom e side were sent in. Hirst batted three hours for 128 not out and hit nineteen 4’s ; he offered only one chance— a hard one, w hen 65— in his very fine display. Derbyshire were left five and a-half hours in w hich to m ake 441. The bow ling was shared by Newstead and M yers, and it was not long before the form er met w ith sue cess, for Needham was bow led at 37 and W right caught and bow led five later. M orton and Cad­ man added 37 for the third w icket in three- quarters of an hour before the form er was out to a fine one-handed catch in the slip 3 . W hen Cad­ man was caught four w ickets were dow n for 80. Then Law ton and O liver cam e together, and, by faultless cricket, put on 108 in an hour and a quarter. The form er m ade 50 in an hour and hit thirteen 4's, m ost of them big drives, in his 69. A fter his dism issal the end soon cam e, Y ork­ shire w inning by 196 runs.

SO M E R SE T v. W O R C E S T E R SH IR E . Played at Taunton on May 28 and 29. Worcestershire won by an innings and 75 runs. There were three changes in the constitution of the hom e side, Deane, Bisgood, and Goodland appearing instead of Palairet, Crowder, and W hittle, but W orcestershire put the same team in the field as that w hich played against Surrey. Som erset won the toss and m ade a very good start, Braund and B isgood scoring 72 for the first w icket in 80 m inutes. The latter, w ho was m issed when 8 , was then caught at the wicket. Seven runs later Lewis and Robson w ere beaten and bow led b y Sim pson-H ayw ard’s lobs, whilst at 113 Braund was bow led for a faultless innings of 55, w hich lasted tw o hours and contained three 4’s. The total was only 127 w hen the sixth w icket fell, but, fortunately for the hom e side, G oodland, a past student of Taunton School, was in fine form and helped to put on 39 for the seventh w icket w ith Deane and 31 for the eighth w ith Newton. New ton, w hen he had m ade 6 , was tw ice m issed off consecutive balls from Cuffe, but G oodland, who showed him self strong on the on-side, was in fine form and, when the innings closed for 230, carried out his bat for 42 made out of 82 obtained whilst in in an hour and a-half. The total took 230 m inutes to make and was certainly a rather disappointing one, taking the condition of the w icket into consideration. In the last 65 m inutes of the day W orcestershire scored 65 for two w ickets, losing B ow ley at 17 and Foster at 28. Pearson carried out nis bat for 30 and Arnold for 20, but the form er, when he had m ade six, was missed by Cranfield at point. On the follow ing m orning the pair kept together until 96, when the w icket had put on 68 in 40 m inutes, Pear­ son then being bow led for 45 m ade out of 79 in 85 m inutes. A rnold and Cuffe then made another fine stand, the fourth w icket putting on 79 in 70 m inutes. Arnold com pleted his half- century after batting 85 m inutes and 200 went up 170 m inutes from the start. Seventeen runs later A rnold’s fine innings cam e to an end. He had scored exactly a hundred, m ade out of 183 obtained whilst in in 160 m inutes, w ithout a chance ; he m ade his runs all round the wicket, hit ten 4’s, and fell to a catch at extra m id-off. Sim pson H ayward left at the same total, but so vigorously did Burns and Burrows hit that the seventh w icket put on 96 in three-quarters of an hour. Burns, who m ade 108 out of 186 in 115 m inutes without a mistake, was last m an o u t ; he hit sixteen 4’s and fell to a one-handed catch at m id-on. The innings, after lasting 270 m in­ utes, closed for 361, or 152 ahead. Somerset batted very feebly when they went in the second tim e. Braund and Lewis were both out w ith only 24 scored, and, although Daniell and B idgood put on 25 together, Burrows took three w ickets' in an over w ith only 49 scored. Deane and R obson left at 60, Banks and New ton at 74, and Cranfield at 77, the w hole side being dism issed in an hour-and-a-half. Burrows took eight wickets for 48 runs, and Foster and G aukrodger dis­ tinguished them selves in the field. Score and an alysis:— S omerset . F irst innings. Second innings.
