Cricket 1908

J une 18, 1908. CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. L A N C A SH IR E v. SU R R E Y . Played at Manchester on June 15 and 16. Surrey won by an innings and 117 runs. Surrey left out Sm ith for this m atch and included Rushby, and the m ove proved a very successful one. J. T. Tyldesley, Harry and Crabtree reappeared for Lancashire, the last-nam ed after an absence of some seasons. The hom e side w ent in first and were all disposed of before lunch 'in an hour and three- quarters for 72. The bsll got up in very disconcert­ ing fashion on the bum py w icket, and m ore than one batsm an was hit. Runs cam e very slow ly at the start, only one being obtained in the first 15 m inutes, though at the pud of half-an-hour IS had been scored. H artley batted 20 m inutes for his first run and made only tw o scoring strokes during the 40 m inutes be was in. A t 23 H ornby had his thum b-nail split and was obliged to retire from the gam e, w hilst six runs later J. T. .Tyldesley. was caught at cover. Sharp batted 40 m inutes for 21, but the other w ickets fell quickly, Rushby, w ho kept a fine length and got plenty of w ork on the ball, and Lees bow ling un­ changed. W hen Surrey w ent in Slack fielded substi­ tute for H ornby and Brearley undertook the duties of captaincy. In a quarter o f an hour, ow ing to the fast scoring of H obbs, who got four 4’s off Brearley in an over, 35 runs were m ade for the first wicket. Fifty w ent up in half-an-hour, but five later Hayes was run out by Hayward. The latter, who was seen at liis best, was fourth out, at 133, after batting an hour and a half for 49. H olland, after m aking a single, was hurt and obliged to retire, but Crawford m ade several big hits in scoring 36 o it of 56 in 40 m inutes. The feature of the innings, however, was the batting of Leveson-G ow er, who m ade 78 in 100 m inutes w ithout a m istake of any kind ; he hit ten 4’s and m ade several late cuts. With Lees he added 58 in 30 m inutes, and w ith Strudw ick 106 in an hour. The last-nam ed was tw ice m issed before reaching double figures, by Sharp and Slack, but he afterwards settled dow n to sound cricket. When the Surrey innings closed, play ceased for the day. On Tuesday Lancashire were in a hopeless position, and the question was by how great a m argin Mould they be defeated. Crabtree and H artley m ade 19 for the first w icket and the latter and J. T. Tyldesley 13 for the second. Sharp cam e in and w ith tho last-nam ed added 38 for the third wricket in 40 m inutes. T yldcsley m ade his 31 in 50 m inutes, w hilst Sharp was in for an hour and a half for an adm ira 1 lc innings o f 57. W. Tyldesley, although he m ade only 12, stayed w ith Sharp w hile 53 were put on in 50 m inutes. Spooner was bow led first ball, and the end soon cam e, Surrey w inning by an innings and 117 runs.

Played at Tonbridge on June 15 and 16. Kent won by an innings and 126 run?. Beautiful weather favoured the opening of th Tonbridge W eek, w hen Gloucestershire opposed Kent. The visitors had a poor side, and were quite outplayed on the first day, losing half their w ickets for 32* runs in reply to a total of 302. Kent lost W oolley in Ford's first over, but Marsham and Seym our m ade a good stand, though the form er, w hen 5, was m issed in the slips b y Mills off Ford. Seym our, hitting freely, made 50 out of 74 in 55 m inutes, and the hundred w ent up in 70 m inutes. W hen the second w icket had put 011 112 in an hour and a quarter, Seym our was bow led for an excellent 66 , w hich contained eleven 4’s. Dillon started shakily, but managed to stay whilst 75 were added in 65 m inutes. Marsham reached 50 in 100 m inutes, and when he had reached 81 was m issed by Mills at m id-on off Parker. H utchings was bow led first ball, and Marsham, when he had m ade 116 out of 20S in 170 m inutes, fell to Parker ; he hit seventeen 4’s, but gave tw o chances. The last four w ickets w ent down for 39. and the innings closed for 302. I 11 the last 50 m inutes of the day Gloucestershire lost five w ickets for 32 against Fielder and Blythe. No play was possible 011 Tuesday before 3 p.m ow ing to the state o f the w icket after heavy rain. Spry m ade a few good hits, but Jessop failed to get in to double figures, his early dow nfall causing m uch disappoint­ m ent. Dipper and Bennett put on 33 for the eighth w ickct, but the innings closed for 114. W hen they w ent in the second tim e they fared even worse, B lythe and Fielder dism issing them in an hour and a half for 62. Huish again distinguished him self behind the w icket.
