2§4 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORb OP T tiE GAME. J uly 16, 1908. KEN T v. LANCASH IRE . Played at Tunbridge Wells on July 13, 14, and 15. Drawn. Play was out of the question on M onday, the rain having so thoiou ghly saturated the turf that the decision to postpone the start until Tuesday was arrived upon before noon. K ent w on the toss, but fared badly, losing Dillon, H ardinge and H utchings, all against Dean, for 19. W oolley and Seym our added 17 but half the side were out for 41. The last- nam ed batted 70 m inutes for his runs and the total was on ly 76 w hen the last w icket fell. Dean took six w ickets for 32 runs and bow led unchanged through the innings w ith H uddleston. Lancashire com m enced badly by losing Spooner w ithout a run, and the total was only 22 w hen Poidevin was out to a sm art catch b y Marsham at m id-off. H artley batted 40 m inutes for 20 and theu played on. Sharp played a free gam e and appeared w ell set w hen he was foolishly run out in attem pting an alm ost im possible run. Hornby also h it well and, w ith the tail m aking useful scores, the visitors obtained a lead of 54 on the first innings. A fter the last w icket fell rain again interrupted proceedings, and at five o ’clock stum ps were draw n for the day. There was no play yesterday until half-past tw elve, and before rain caused an abandonm ent K ent had three w ickets down for 65, H utchings for the second tim e in the m atch failing to get a run.

So saturated was the ground after previous heavy rain that as early as a-quarter past tw elve it was de­ cided that no play would be possible 011 M onday. On the follow ing day a start could not be m ade until half-past one, w hen Surrey, having w on the toss, took first innings on a very soft w icket. W hen 30 had been m ade in 50 m inutes H ayward slipped aud was stum ped, and in the sam e over H ayes was caught at slip. Quiet cricket follow ed, but after H obbs had been caught at third m an at 67 Crawford played a bright game, and, w ith Marshal, took the score to 98 w ithout further loss b y the end of the day. Yesterday, in brighter weather, a full day’s cricket was possible, though the ground was still very soft. W ith only eight added Marshal was bow led after batting 30 m inutes and helping to add 87 in half an-hour. W ith Craw ford and Lord Dal- m eny together the scoring becam e very brisk, the form er com pleting 50 in an hour and Dalm eny in 40 m inutes. The stand for the fifth w icket put on 90 in 40 m inutes,Craw ford then being verylinely caught in the long-field by M ignon. L ord Dalm eny was seen at his best, his pulling being the feature o f his dis­ play ; he h it eleven 4’s, and, w ithout giving a chance, scored 71 out o f 116 in 55 m inutes. L eve­ son-Gower m ade only a single, and, w ith Sm ith and K irk stum ped off .successive balls and Strud­ w ick m aking only 2, the innings closed for 251. Tarrant took eight w ickets, but at a som ewhat heavy cost considering the state of the w icket, w hich should have suited him . Warner and Tarrant m ade 54 for the first w icket of the hom e side and the form er and Payne 22 for the second. Harrison, m issed in the slips w hen 16, scored 40 out o f 90 in 80 m inutes, and at 200 W arner was bow led for a faultless innings o f 9S, in w hich were thirteen 4’s. H unt hit freely, and at the end o f the day seven w ickets were dow n for 257. Score and analysis:— S u r r e y . H ayward, st Murrell, Spring, not out 15 b Tarrant ................ 8 H .D .G .

ESSEX. PlayeJ at Leicester on July 13, 14, and 15. Drawn. On M onday Leicestershire scored 247 for seven w ickets in four hours and a-quarter against a weak Essex side. W ood and K night m ade 125 for the first w icket in 115 m inutes ; the form er hit five 4’s and the latter ten. W hitehead played a useful innings, but of the others only Craw’ford, w ho carried out his bat for 31, did m uch. There was no play on Tuesday 011 account o f rain. The last three w ickets added 29, the innings closing for 276. Crawford h it a 6 and four 4’s during the 90 m inutes he was in, but was tw ice m issed. Essex had a very fair start given them by Fane and Douglas, but the form er m ight have been caught at short-leg w hen 6 . Douglas fell to a brilliant running catch by W hitehead, and, once the pair were separated, the bow lers carried all before them , the innings closing for 79. In the follow -on Essex m ade 53 for tw o w ickets, Douglas and M cGahey playing out tim e after Fane and Free­ m an (E. J .) had left at 30. Score and analysis :— L e ic e s te r s h ir e . C.J.B .

NOTTS. Played at Leeds on July 13, 14 and 15. Yorkshire won by 140 runs. Play on M onday lasted only three hours, rain causing three stoppages and stum ps being drawn at 4.40 011 account oi bad light. In the tim e available Yorkshire, by not very enterprising cricket, scored 142 for six w ickets. The pitch was not difficult and the bowlers w ere handicapped w ith a w et ball, and m ore runs should iiave been m ade. A fter the dis­ missal of H ardisty at 5, D enton m ade 50 out of S2 in 75 m inuies b y bright and faultless cricket, hitting seven 4’s. W ilkinson batted 130 m inutes for 38 and was still not out w hen stum ps were drawn. Play was out of the question on Tuesday until half-past one. In 25 m inutes 19 were added, and then W ilkin­ son was caught at square-leg fora very useful innings of 45, w hich lasted 160 m inutes. D uring the luncheon interval L ord H aw ke received a presenta­ tion— see “ G ossip”—and upon the' gam e being resum ed the last three w ickets w ent dow n for 28 runs, the innings closing for 189. Wass took seven w ickets for 93 during the innings and deserved his success. N otts lost Irem onger at 14 and in the course of 65 m inutes lost half their w ickets for 52. Payton and Jones then added 20 m ore w ithout being separated, but at the end of the day N otts, w ith five w ickets down, w ere still 117 behind. T he ball came faster off the pitch w hilst N otts were batting than it did earlier in the day, and the light was often very bad. Yesterday Payton and Jones added 35 in half an hour, but the last five w ickets w ent dow n in 40 m inutes for 41, H irst taking four of them for a single. In their second innings Yorkshire quickly lost a couple of w ickets, but D enton and W ilkinson put on 53 for tho third. H irst m ade a couple of dozen, but of the other players only H unter reached double figures, the innings closing for 132. Notts, set 209 to w in, lost their first five w ickets for 38, and w ere all dism issed for 68 b y H irst and Rhodes. Score and analysis Y orkshire . First innings.
