Cricket 1908

JtJLY i6, 1908. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 2 7 7 ETON v. HARROW. Played at Lord’s on July 10 and 11. R o y a l t y P r e s e n t . Harrow won by ten wickets. A lthough the weather 011 Friday was dull and overcast, 6,006 persons paid for adm ission, and the attendance, w hich included Their Royal Highnesses Princes A lbert and H enry of Wales, m ust have reached about 15,000. D uring the four hours and a-quarter that play was in progress—rain caused an abandonm ent at 6.10—sixteen w ickets fell for 247 runs. Harrow, thanks to Crutchley and Lawson - Sm ith, m ade an excellent start. A fter Everard had been run out at 12 the pair nam ed added 120 for the second w icket in an hour and a-half. The form er—a nephew of P. E. Crutchley—was then caught and bow led for w hat was to prove the best innings of the m atch. H e m ade 74 out of 132 in 110 m inutes, hitting eight 4’s and m aking his runs all round the w icket, his drives being especially good. Then fol­ low ed a breakdow n, the fifth w icket falling at 155. Law son-Sm ith, how ever, found a very useful partner in Earle, w ho helped to add 46. Then Cartwright caused another collapse by taking four w ickets in 20 balls for three runs, the innings ending som ewhat abruptly for 210. Law son-Sm ith, in first w icket dow n, carried out his bat for 79, w hich took three hours to com pile. It was a m ost valuable innings, but not so sound as Crutchley’s ; he w as missed three tim es, on the first occasion at 16 .and again w hen 33 and 58. Eton failed against Crutchley and Anson, the sixth w icket going dow n at 29, and, although Cattley and Kenyon-Slaney put on 25 for the last partnership on Saturday in a-quarter o f an hour, the innings lasted only 85 m inutes and realised but 71. In the follow -on an im provem ent was shown, but for som e tim e it was doubtful whether the innings defeat w ould I xj saved. The third w icket fell at 7and the fifth and sixth at 42, Cartwright, w ho had done so w ell ju st before against W inchester, being bowled first ball. Tennyson and W indsor-Clive, w ho was in 70 m inutes for 38, put on 54 in for y m inutes for the seventh w icket, but the form er had a life at the hands of Carlisle. The innings defeat was averted by W orsley, w ho, hitting freely, m ade 42 out of the l.ast 56 scored in 50 m inutes. Harrow, set only 14 to w in, obtained that num ber w ithout loss. Crutch­ ley ’s fine all-round cricket had a great deal to do w ith the success of his side. O 11 the second day 5,590 persons paid for adm ission to the ground. Score and .analysis:— H a r r o w . G.

To such an extent did the ball beat the bat in the first stage of this m atch that only 285 runs were scored on Thursday for the loss of tw enty wickets. W arwickshire lost their first three w ickets for 14 runs, K inneir and Fishw iek being dism issed by Huddleston with consecutive balls. Glover, w ho was twice m issed, put 011 26 runs for the fourth w icket w ith Baker, but Goodwin, of Cam bridge, who was m aking his debut in county cricket, played the largest innings 011 the side. The w hole side were dis­ posed of for 120, H uddleston and Dean bow ling w ith great effect on a drying w icket. The great feature of Lancashire’s innings was the batting of Poidevin, who m ade 80 out of 145 in 115 m inutes w ithout a chance ; he h it nine 4’s and m ade some fine strokes to the on. M acLeod rem ained w ith him w hilst 58 were put on for the fifth w icket, but of the others only H ornby (12) reached double figures. Foster did good service in taking five w ickets for 36 runs in a total of 149. There was rain during the night and, under the influence of the sun, the pitch gave assistance to the bowlers. Quaife played a good gam e for 40, going in first and being fifth out, at 106, after batting over tw o hours. Glover and Lilley also made useful scores, and Lancashire were set 124 to w in. Huddleston again bowled w ith great effect and m ade his record for the m atch thirteen wickets for 112 runs. A t one tim e it appeared not unlikely that W arwickshire w ould w in, for Lancashire’s fifth w icket fell at 66 . H ornby and W hitehead added 33 together, but w hen the eighth w icket fell 23runs were still required. Thanks to W hitehead, who showed adm irable nerve at a crisis, the runs were made w ithout further loss. Score and analysis:— W arw ickshire . First innings. Second innings.

Neither side had its strongest eleven, the Jam Sahib of Nawanagar and Fry assisting the Gentle­ m en at the Oval, and Yorkshire being w ithout Lord Hawke. Sussex w ere led by Captain Luther and Yorkshire by Lieut. Kaye. On a rather slow w icket Vine and Robert R elf batted so steadily that no run was m ade during the first quarter of an hour and only 4 during the first thirty m inutes. After the latter had been caught at 39 Vine punished Rhodes for three 4’s in one over ; he batted an hour and a-half for 36. Nason and Cox m ade 57 for the fifth w icket in 35 m inutes, and the latter aud Luther 40 for the sixth in 40. Cox scored his 51 out of 104 in 95 m inutes w ithout a m istake and hit five 4’s» Vincett, who had his pick et hit by a ball from Myers w hich did not disturb a bail, hit a 6 and four 4’s, and D wyer, w ho furnished H irst w ith his 100th w icket of the season, hit six 4’s. The innings, after lasting tw o hours and a-half, closed for 2(H)— a very good total indeed considering the state of the w icket. Rain interfered greatly w ith play on Friday, delay­ ing the resum ption until 2.20. Myers helped to m ake 69 for the first w icket in an hour and a-half, but Denton did little. Rhodes, third out at S3, made 53 in 115 m inutes w ithout a m istake ; he hit six 4’s and m ade som e good strokes to leg and drives. A fter the fall of the sixth w icket at 121 W ilkinson and Bates added 35 in 55 m inutes and saved the follow -on. Bates and Kaye fell to consecutive balls, and at the end of the day nine w ickets were dow n for 164. On Saturday W ilkinson was dism issed by the fourth ball bow led for a m ost valuable innings of 44. Just as Sussex were about to go in for the second tim e rain began to fall. Slight at first, it becam e heavier, and just after tw o o ’clock the game was given up. On Saturday four balls were bowled, one w icket taken, and no runs scored— a curious day’s cricket.
