C r i c k e t A W EEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 25 , 1908 , W A R W IC K S H IR E v. L A N C A S H IR E . Played at Edgbaston on June 18, 19 and 20. Lancashire won b y five wickets. Lancashire, in pu tting W arw ickshire in upon w in ­ ning the toss, probably did the best thing, their score at the end o f the first day being 03 for three w ickets in reply to a total of 191. W arwickshire took the field w ithout Lilley, w ho had been in jured at N ortham pton, his place being taken by Sm ith, who had appeared occasionally for the C ounty before. The hom e side com m enced batting on a soft, but not very difficult, w icket, and lost K inneir w ith only 16 runs scored. Quaife and Baker added 85 for the second w icket and the latter and Charlesworth 52 for the third in half-an-hour. Baker, w ho h it six 4’s, scored 67 out o f 137 in tw o hours and a quarter, and m ade only one m istake— offering a difficult chance of caught-and-bow led to Dean w hen he had m ade In. The last six w ickets fell for 41, the innings, after lasting three hours and a - half, closing for 194. H uddleston took five w ickets for 44 runs and Brearley four for 80. Lancashire lost H artley at 34 and M akepeace, to a very fine catch at slip, four later. J. T. Tyldesley was in an hour for 24, in m aking w hich he drove a ball from Santall over the Pavilion ; w hen 9, he was m issed at cover b y Baker off H ar­ greave. A t the end o f the day three w ickets were dow n for 93, and on the follow ing m orning Har­ greave bow led w ith such effect that the rem aining seven fell in 70 m inutes for 42. The innings lasted three hours and realised 135, leaving W arwickshire w ith a lead of 59. Quaife and K inneir .put up 44 for the hom e side’s first w icket, and the form er and M oorhouse added 72 for the third in 40 m inutes. Quaife m ade his 57 in 145 m inutes b y faultless cricket and h it five 4’s. The fourth w icket, Baker and Charlesworth in , put on 23, and, writh Glover and Hargreave adding 44 m ore, the innings realised 226. Glover m ade 48 out of 65 w hilst in, driving well, giving no chance, and h ittin g five 4’s. Lancashire were left a w hole day in w hich to obtain 286 to w in. They lost H artley at 7 and Spooner at 22, but there their troubles ceased, for J. T. Tyldesley and Sharp com ing together put on 213 for the third w icket in three hours. Tyldesley, w ho reached 50 in SO m inutes, hit eight 4’s in his 118 and offered only one chance, w hen 104. Sharp m ade nine 4’s and showed fine defence and good hitting powers. The pair played superb cricket and deserve m uch praise for their uphill play. A nother w ick et quickly fell, but Lancashire w on by fivewickets. Score and a n alysis:— W a r w ic k s h ir e .

E SS EX . Played at Tonbridge on June 18, 19 and 20. Kent won by 124 runs. The ground not having recovered from the previous heavy rain, a fresh w icket was prepared. A t the start o f the m atch the pitch was som ewhat tricky, but it turned out w ell and allowed alm ost a thousand runs to be made upon it. Kent, w ho gained no advantage by w inning the toss, lost Marsham in the second over and Dillon at 12. Seym our played-on at 44 and nine runs later Hutchings was bow led. A t this point Hum phreys joined W oolley and a great im provem ent took place, the new com er playing a solely-defensive gam e w hilst his partner hit.. The left-hander played the right gam e in the circum ­ stances, b u t he was m issed m ore than once, viz , at 24, 40 and 53. He com pleted his 50 out of 73 in 70 m inutes, bu t at 155 lost H um phreys, who had played a very valuable innings of 19 and helped to put on 102 for the fifth w icket in 70 m inutes. W oolley was out 13 runs later for 81 made out of 124 in 95 m inutes ; he hit ten 4’s and offered three chances. H ardinge and Huish further im proved m atters by adding 52 in 50 m inutes, the form er playing a fault­ less gam e and scoring his 59 out of 117 in an hour aud three-quarters: he hit six 4’s. The innings, after a poor start, closed for 272, a total w hich took 220 m inutes to obtain. Buckenham kept an adm ir­ able length and took six w ickets for 89 runs. Essex lost Fane, yorked by Blythe, w ith on ly 17 scored, but Douglas and Perrin rem ained together until the close, w hen the total had been taken to 84 w ithout further loss. They scored slow ly but steadily, and had to contend w ith very good bow ling and keen fielding. On Friday the w icket was faster, and it was generally thought that the visitors w ould succeed in. establishing a lead on the innings. Such, how ­ ever, proved an incorrect surm ise, the last nine w ickets falling for 77 against Blythe, w ho took six of them for only 27 runs. Perrin h it six 4’s and offered no chance during the three hours he was in ; his stand w ith Douglas lasted an hour and a-half and realised 73. The Kent out-cricket was of a decidedly high standard, Huish at the w icket being especially good. K ent, leading by 111, increased their advan­ tage by scoring 65 in three-quarters of an hour for the first w icket. D illon then left and Seym our and H utchings quickly follow ed him . Marsham played confidently and w ith W oolley put on 37 for the fourth w icket and w ith Hardinge 65 for the sixth. H e com pleted 50 in 70 m inutes and m ade his 100 out of 195 in three hours. H e was seventh out, at 250, after batting three hours and a half w ithout a m is­ take ; he m ade his runs by a great variety of strokes and h it sixteen 4’s. When play ceased on Friday nine w ickets were dow n for 280, and, the innings closing on the follow ing m orning w ithout addition, Essex were set the great task of m aking 392 to win. N ot unnaturally, they set them selves to play for a draw. Douglas and Fane m ade 51 together in 80 m inutes, the form er scoring 35 out of 81 in tw o hours. Perrin and M cGahey played very stubbornly and G illingham was in tw o hours and a half for 63. Freem an and Reeves also gave trouble, but K ent won by 124 runs at five m inutes to six.
