268 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y 9, 19 0 8 ; com pleted his 50 and, runs still com ing readily* G ilbert took xip the attack at 121 and Bow ring follow ed suit three runs later. A t 131 Young was very sm artly stum ped for a m ost useful innings of 54 m ade out o f 131 in 115 m inutes. W ith the total unchanged Buchanan was bow led by a fine ball w hich broke in a lot from the off. W ith Ireland and Baily together the scoring slow ed dow n, but at 143 R obinson w ent on for G ilbert and bow led Bailey in his first over. A t 150 Ireland w as caught at the w icket b y Pawson, w ho took a fast ball w ide to the off in splendid fashion. M acleod, caught at tue w icket, was eighth out at 151, after w hich Goodw in and O livier pu t on 44 for the ninth w icket in 20 m im ites at a tim e w hen runs were m uch required. O xford w ere left w ith 183 to w in. A deplorable start w as m ade, Bruce being caught at slip w ith only a single— a w id e—scored. A t 7 Teesdale fell to an adm irable catch by Baily, w ho fairly took the ball off the bat and w as on his knees w hen the catch was m ade. Fifteen runs later B ow ring was bowled, aud at 34 Foster also was sent back, four w ickets then being dow n for 37. H urst, fortunately, again did w ell and helped his captain to pull the gam e round. The bow ling was frequently changed, but it was not until the partnership had realised 48 that W right was w ell caught by his nam esake running from cover-point. The O xford captain batted 80 m inutes for his very valuable 37. Robinson started un ­ steadily, but m anaged to stay, he and H urst being together w hen the hundred was reached in 05 m inutes. A t 118, however, w hen the sixth w icket had put on 33, H urst was w ell caught at cover- point b y Young for an excellent 46 m ade out of 81 in 65 m in u tes; he hit seven 4’s. Yesterday H atfeild was out first ball, and w hen 22 had been m ade rain stopped play. The gam e could n ot be resum ed until 5.45, w hen, w ith the w icket slow and easy, O xford w on b y tw o w ickets. Teesdale batted w ell despite his in jured hand, and was out w ith the gam e a tie. Score and analysis :— C a m brid g e . First innings. Second innings. R . A .

K EN T v. YORKSH IRE . Played at Dover on July 6, 7 and 8. Drawn. B oth sides were at fu ll strength fo r this im ­ portant m atch, H aigh reappearing after a long absence. Y orkshire batted first on a fine w icket, and b y the end o f th e day had scored 331 for eigh t w ickets, R othery being not out 146. H ardisty w as bow led at 8, but Denton, hitting ten 4’s, m ade 47 o f th e next 72 runs in 55 m inutes. Rhodes w as in 95 m inutes fo r 40, and W ilkinson the same period fo r 32. H irst failed, but N ew stead, defending strongly, rem ained w ith R otheryw hilst 86 w ere added forthe sixth w icket in 65 m inutes. The latter reached 50 in an hour and, after being m issed by W oolley at point w hen 81, com pleted his hundred in 120 m inutes. M yers and H aigh did little, but in the last hour o f the day R othery and H aw ke put on 54 w ithout further loss. On Tuesday when the gam e w as resum ed B lythe w as unable to field, ow in g to w ater-on-the-knee, his place being taken by F airservice. L ord H aw ke w as at once m issed b y H uish off W oolley, and the m istake proved a rather serious one. The ninth w icket added 90 and then R othery w as caught at the w ioket. The player nam ed batted 230 m inutes for 161, _ his record score fo r the county, hit tw enty-six 4’s and m ade only tw o m istakes— when 81 and 93. The last w icket added 34 and the in nings closed for 401. M arsham and H ardinge opened the K ent in nings, and, although they m ade 64 together, fou r w ickcts w ere dow n for 92. W oolley and M ason added 88 for the fifth w icket, but at the end of the day K ent, w ith only tw o w ickets in hand, were still 177 runs behind. On W ednesday the innings closed for 242, but Y orkshire did not call upon the side to follow -oa. The visitors lost Rhodes and D enton fo r 20 to fine catches, but when 90 had been m ade rain caused the gam e to be aban­ doned. Score and analysis :— Y o r k sh ir e .

Played at Manchester on July 6, 7 and 8. Drawn. A fter rain in the n igh t scoring w as not easy, and du rin g the day thirteen w ickets w ent dow n fo r 326 runs. N either M aoLaren, T yldesley (J . T .) n or the Jam of N aw anagar played, but each coun ty w as nevertheless w ell represented. B rearley started ic great form , gettin g rid of V in e at 5, F ry at 10, and the younger R elf at 24. K illick , how ever, played w ell, and received useful aid from R elf (A . E .) and N ason, the form er helpin g to add 67 in an hour and the latter 45. H e m ade ten 4’s in scorin g 79 out o f 143 in tw o hours and a-quarter, m aking som e fine cuts. In response to a total o f 191, L anca­ shire m ade 135 fo r three w ickets. T hey lost H artley and T yldesley fo r 33, but Spooner and Sharp added 46 in 40 m inutes, and the latter and M akepeace 56 at the end o f the day in 50 m inutes w ithout being separated. T here was rain in the night follow ed by sun, and w ickets in consequence w ent dow n rather quickly. M akepeace, and Sharp altogether added 61 in 54 m inutes, w hilst the latter and W hitehead put on 58 in 50. Sharp played adm irably and m ade his 76 out of 165 in 155 m inutes. Thg tail did little, and L ancashire’s lead on the innings am ounted to only 30. F ry w as seen at his best when Sussex w ent in the second tim e. In first, he w as ninth out fo r a faultless 120 , w hich con­ tained sixteen 4’s and took 170 m inutes to com ­ pile. R obert R e lf helped him to add 79 for the th ird w icket, and, the last partnership realising 32, Lancashire w ere set 213 to w in. O f this num ber they scored 9 w ithout loss b y the end o f the day. T here w as no play, yesterday ow ing to rain. Score and a n a ly sis:— S u ssex . First innings. Second innings. C. B.

Northants., w ho w ere still w ithout East, com ­ m enced w ell b y disposing of H ayward and Crawford w ith only a single scored. Then, how ever, H obbs and Marshal added 00 in 40 m inutes before the latter was obliged to retire tem porarily, ow ing to a ball bow led by Wells running up his bat and striking him severely on the head ; a chance, as a m atter of fact, was given at the sam e tim e to Thom pson, w hose attention was centred on the batsm an and not on the ball. W hen G oatly had scored 21 and helped to add 37 in 20 m inutes, Marshal resum ed batting and scored freely. H e reached 100 in 93 m inutes, a feat w hich took H obbs 50 m inutes to accom plish ; the pair put on 178 for the fourth w icket in an hour and a-half. Marshal, fi s i out (at 276), m ade 143 out af 238 in 130 m inutes, com pleting his thousand runs for the season, and hitting tw enty-four 4’s ; altogether, he and H obbs added 238 together— 00 for the third w icket in 40 m inutes and
