CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. Ju n e 4, 1908, C AM B R ID G E U N IV E R S IT Y V. M .C.C. AND GROUND . Played at Cambridge on May 28, 29 and 30. H A T TRICK BY T A R R A N T . M .C.C. and Ground won by 239 runs. The U niversity placed far from their full strength into the field for this m atch, and their defeat was not unexpected. Am ong the absentees were Adam s, Buchanan, Collin 3 , M ugliston, and G oodw in, and only tw o Blues, Y oung and W right, appeared. Tarrant and W arner gave the visitors a useful start, 56 going up ere the latter was caught low dow n in the slips off Lucas’ second over. Tarrant, w ho had been m issed at the w icket w hen 27, was second out at 70, at w hich total P hillips and Buckenham were also disposed of, the last tw o w ickets going dow n in one over. D<»11 and Eddis m ade a g ood stand, pu tting on 74 together for the fifth w ick e t; the latter, how ever, was decidedly fortunate, seeing that he was tw ice missed off Lucas. D oll show ed strong defence and batted an hour and a-half for 32. The ninth w icket fell at 194, but Hearne hit so successfully that, in partnership w ith Druce, as m any as 39 w ere put on for the last wicket. Luca 3 , a fast right-handed bow ler, took five w ickets for 74 runs in the innings of 233, w hich lasted four hours. Cam bridge lost Y oun g in the first over, but Mann and Falcon took the total to 28 when the form er was caught and the latter bow led. At six o ’clock, -when three w ickets were dow n for 33, stum ps were drawn ow ing to failing light. On F riday, Ireland was sent back for 7 and M acleod for 2. Baily, hitting four 4’s, m ade 43 in 85 m inutes, and Reunert and W right added 38 together for the seventh w icket. In the first over after lunch Tarrant perform ed the hat-trick at the expense of Reunert, Lucas, and M ackenzie, the last four wickets going dow n w ith the total unchanged. Tarrant, who took seven wickets for 46, obtained his last fou r w ickets w ithout a run being m ade off him . The M.C.C. opened their second innings w ith a lend of 94, and D oll and W arner took the total to 29 before the latter was dism issed by a fine throw -out by Young. A fter his dism issal, a collapse occurred, and the total was only 123 when the sixth w icket fell. D ruce, who hit five 4’s in his useful 49, added 48 for the seventh w icket w ith Eddis and 34 for the eighth with Ilendren, and, when play ceased, the M .C.C., w ith one w icket in hand, were 328 runs on. On the third m orning 14 runs were added before the innings closed, every player reaching double figures, and the U niversity being set 343 to win. Young and M ann m ade 37 for the first w icket in half an-hour, but succeeding batsm en did not do so well, and at lunch half the side were out for 72. A fter the interval the collapse continued, the last five w ickets goin g dow n for 31 and the M.C.C. w inning by 239 runs. Tarrant and B ucken­ ham bow led unchanged through the innings, but the batting was very poor. Score and analysis: — M .C.C. and G round. First innings. Second innings. P. F.

OXFORD U N IV E R S IT Y v. G E N T L E ­ M EN O F EN G LAN D . Played at Oxford on May 28, 29 and 30. 338 FOR T H E FIRST W IC K E T . Oxford University won by an innings and 110 runs. In this mutch H .H . the Jam of Nawanagar, famous am ong cricketers as R anjitsinhji, m ade his first appearance in a m atch of note since 1904. A. C. M. Croom e, of Oxford, Gloucestershire, and B erkshire; A. C. MacLaren, of H arrow and Lan­ cashire ; and Prince Chakorsab, w hose qualifica­ tion to appear for the Gentlem en was not of the strongest, were also included in the visiting eleven, whose bow ling was very weak. Fane and Raphael ran up 62 for the G entlem en’s first w icket in 50 m inutes, when the latter was caught at m id-off. M acLaren fell to a catch at cover after m aking 9, but Fane and Crawford put on 80 for the third w icket in five m inutes under the hour. A fter lunch, when the score was 149 for tw o w ickets, Pawson kept w icket instead of W right, who had a short tim e before m issed Fane. The Essex am ateur played steady cricket for a couple of hours for 74, but the Jam of Nawanagar was disappointing, seeing that he batted 25 mill utes for nine and was then bow led. Molineux and Croom e added 33 for the eigiuth w icket, but the w hole side were disposed of in three hours for 245, the last seven w ickets going dow n for 74. Bow ring and Teesdale gave the University a capital start, scoring 201 w ithout being separated in the rem aining 115 m inutes. F ifty w ent up in half-an-hour, Bow ring punishing Cobbold for a 6, a 4, and two 2’s in an over. Three figures went up in 50 m inutes and the 150 in an hour and a-quarter. Bow ring reached three figures in 110 m inutes and, w hen play ceased, was 105 not out and his partner 66. On F riday Bow ring con ­ tinued to do the m ajor portion of the run-getting, at one period scoring 40 in 20 m inutes whilst his partner m ade 10. A hundred runs were added in 45 m inutes and Teesdale, after batting for three hours, reached his hundred. Five m inutes later, w ith the score 338, Teesdale was bow led in try ­ ing to p u ll; he gave no chance, hit fourteen 4’s, grid m ade som e very good strokes to leg. At 383 B ow ring’s long innings cam e to a close. He made 228 out of 383 in 210 m inutes before being caught in the long-field. H e hit a 6, thirty 4’s, and eleven 3’s, and offered only one chance—to M acLaren in the slips w hen he had m ade 156. His strokes were m ade all round the w icket and, so fast did he score, that at one period he made 103 in an hour and a-quarter. W right and Salter put on 40 for the third w icket, and Hurst and Pawson played w ell, the form er, in hi3 45, m aking a hit off Crawford for 6. Robinson m ade some big hits, including four 4’s off an over from the Jam , who got his revenge by getting him caught at cover in the same over. The innings eventu­ ally closed for 5C^, m ade in 330 m inutes, or at an average rate ot over a hundred an hour. The Gentlem en, 344 behind, lost M acLaren at once, and Fane and Craw ford were the next to go. Raphael played another useful innings, and the Jam , after m aking 31, was out to a fine catch at cover. A t the end of the day seven w ickets were dow n for 157, W eigall being not out 18. On Saturday the last-nam ed batted w ell for 55, in w hich were seven 4’s, and w ith Croom e put on 62 for the eighth w icket in 40 m inutes. The U niversity won b y an innings and 110 run3.
