Cricket 1908

2 3 6 CR ICK ET : A W EEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. Jun e 25, 1908. S U R R E Y v. W O R C E S T E R S H IR E . P la y e d at th e O v a l o n J u n e 2 2 , 23 , a n d 24 . S u rrey w o n b y 238 runs. Play w as rather sedate on M onday, Surrey batting all the tim e available, ju -t over five hours, for 324. The bow ling, how ever, was very steady and true, Cuffe’s especially, and it was seldom that a liberty could be taken. The visitors w ere w ithout H . K. Foster, w ho w as suffering from a chill, but his brothers B. S. and G. N. appeared. H obbs helped H ayward to m ake 46 for the first w icket in 45 m inutes, and was then caught at m id-off, after w hich H ayes, w ho was m issed at slip w hen 25 by G. N. Foster off Cuffe. hit up 62 of the 94 added for the third w icket in 85 m inutes. The last-nam ed played very attractive cricket and m ade som e fine hits, including a five and six 4’s. Marshal fell to a lob w hen only 6 , but Crawford, hitting vigorously, claim ed 30 of the n ext 44 runs m ade in 35 m inutes ere playing-on. H ayward w as tifth out, at 220, having batted 200 m inutes for 91, a very good though rather quiet innings. H olland and Lees succum bed to lobs in quick succession, the seventh w icket falling at 274. Leveson-G ow er h it w ell and put his side in an im proved position ; he scored 50 ou t of 85 in an hour and a half, m aking som e excellent cuts. When the innings closed for 324 play ceased for the day. Cuffe had a lot of bow lin g to do and did his w ork w ell, and certainly deserved a better analysis than tw o w ickets for 99 runs. On Tuesday m orning, 011 a perfect w icket, W orcestershire w ent dow n before K irk and Lees for 99. B oth m en bQwled well, and the fielding was of a high standard, bu t the batting was nevertheless weak. There is no need to describe the innings in detail, bu t it should be stated that the tw o catches made by Crawford w ere very fine ones. A lthough 225 ahead Surrey elected to go in again in preference to m aking W orcestershire follow -on, and that the collapse of the visitors was not due to any flaw in the w icket was quickly shown by H ayward and H obbs, w ho, by very bright cricket, quickly ran up 85 for the first w icket. H ayward, batting freely, reached 51 out of 70 in 40 m inutes and was second out, just after three figures had gone up in 65 m in u tes; he hit ten 4’s. The visitors were handicapped in losing the bow ling of Sim pson- Hay ward, who had an attack of rheum atism . Hayes m ade only 10, but Marshal and Crawford settled dow n and scored fast, and put on 116 for the fourth w icket in 55 m inutes ere the form er w as lbw for a vigorous innings of 83, w hich contained 13 fours. A t a quarter to five the innings was declared closed, leaving W orcestershire 468 to w in. B ow ley and Peaison m ade 60 together, but at the end of the day the visitors, w ith nine w ickets in hand, still required 403 to w in. Their position was alm ost hopeless when play was resum ed 011 W ednesday, and they suffered defeat by 238 runs. G. N. Foster and Cuffe added 96 for the third w icket in 85 m inutes, but no one else offered m uch resistance to the bow ling. Foster m ade 64 of tae runs, and hit six 4’s, w hilst Cuffe batted steadily for 195 m inutes and m ade a 5 and five 4’s. Hayes, in stopping a ball from G aukrodger, injured a finger of his left hand and was obliged to retire from the gam e, and it is im ­ probable that he w ill be able to play to-day against O xford.

Essex won by an innings and 8 runs. On M onday, although play lasted five hours and a-half, only 306 runs were m ade for the loss of a dozen w ickets. MacLaren and A. J. Turner re­ appeared again in county cricket, but Lancashire were w ithout Brearley and H ornby. Against Buckingham and Douglas four w ickets w ent dow n for 52, after w hich Spooner and MacLaren added 42 for the fifth w icket in 35 m inutes. The latter, w ho offered a hard chance to Fane in the slips w hen 16, m ade som e excellent strokes in scoring 21. The feature of the innings w as the batting of Spooner, w ho, going in first, was eighth out at 152, after batting 160 m inutes for 83. H e m ade his runs all round the w icket, hit ten 4’s, and was out to a good catch by M cGahey, low dow n off his ow n bow ling. When 37 he m ight have been caught in the slips by Fane, but he offered no other chance. Huddleston m ade 29 out of 43 in 40 m inutes, and w ith Cook added 35 for the eighth w icket. The innings, after lasting 200 m inutes, closed for 195, Buckenham taking half the w ickets at m oderate cost. Essex lost Fane in the slips at 27 and Douglas, bow led off his hand, at 60. Perrin, m issed at the w icket when 6, played out tfm e w ith M cGahey, the pair taking the score to 111 w ithout further loss. A ltogether the third w icket put 011 84 in an hour and three-quarters before Perrin, having batted 130 m inutes for 53, was caught at m id-on. M cGahey left 3 runs later, after w hich Gillingham and Turner added a valuable 77 for the fifth w icket in 70 m inutes. Freem an did little, but Buckenham m ade som e good hits and helped to pu t on 69 in three-quarters of an hour. Gillingham ’s innings dw arfed everything e ls e ; by faultless cricket he m ade 103 out o f 212 in 170 m inutes, scoring w ell all round the w icket and hitting ten 4’s. Lancashire, 168 behind, lost half their w ickets for 65, and it was due only to a plucky innings that the m atch was n ot finished on Tuesday evening. O 11 W ednesday Cook and Makepeace re­ m ained together until their ■stand had put on 46, and then the latter was bow led. The other w ickets did little and Essex won by an innings and eight runs.

Y O R K S H IR E v . W A R W IC K S H IR E . Played at Bradford on June 22, 23 and 24. Yorkshire won by 3 wickets. W arwickshire had none the worse of the play on M onday, scoring 294 and having 34 runs m ade against them w ithout loss. Quaife gave the visitors a good start, though he was m issed in the slips when 13. W ith”K inneir he m ade 26 for the first w icket in 35 m inutes and w ith Baker 52 for the second in 40 ; he hit seven 4’s in scoring 42 out of 78 in an hour and a-quarter. Charlesworth and M oorhouse indulged in a useful partnership, and, after the fall of the sixth w icket at 155, Santall played a very useful innings, carrying out his bat for 44 after being at tho w icket tw o hours. W ith Field, w ho was m issed by Grim shaw at slip before m aking a run, 48 were added for the last w icket in half-an-hour, the innings realising 294, w hich w ould have been con­ siderably less but for m issed catches. A t the end of the day Rhodes and H ardisty m ade 34 w ithout being separated, but the latter, w hen 4, was let off at the w icket by Sm ith. W ith only 11 added Rhodes was run out and at 50 H ardisty was beaten b y M oor­ house The collapse continued to be exten t that the fifth w icket fell at 91 and the sixth, D enton’s, at 112. Then follow ed a fine stand by R othery and Newstead, w ho added 104 for the seventh w icket in 65 m inutes, playing a fine up-hill game in splendid fashion. A fter they w ere separated the end soon cam e, leaving the hom e side in a m inority of 55. W arwickshire lost K inneir for 3, but Q uaife and Baker added 59 in an hour, after w hich three w ickets fell so quickly that at the end of the day half the side were out for 99. Yesterday, thanks largely to Santall, the total reached 159, leaving Yorkshire 215 to w in. A t 41 Rhodes was caught, and, after H ardisty had retired ow ing to a blow from a ball from F ield, W ilkinson was out to a good catch at point. Then follow ed a collapse, but, D enton and Myers m aking a good stand for the seventh w icket, Yorkshire got hom e w ith three w ickets to spare. Denton played a great gam e for 95 and had m ost to do w ith the success of his side. Score and analysis:— W a r w ic k s h ir e . First innings. Second innings.
