A ugust 6, 1908. CR ICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 325 N O T T IN G H A M S H IR E v. SU S S E X . Played at N ottingham on July 30, 31 and A ugust 1. D raw n. In the absence of the Jam Sahib Sussex were not at full strength, and, with F ry also away, It. A. Young and Whitfeld came into the side. Vine and Killick were quickly out, but Young and Robert Relf stayed together 80 minutes, during which time they put on 93 for the lourth wicket. Young, fourth out at 144, made his 70 in 130 minutes by faultless and stylish cricket; he hit a 5 and seven 4’s. Following his dis­ missal Clifton took three wickets for 4 runs, but, thank9 chiefly to Whitfeld and Vincett, 77 were added after the fall of the seventh wicket. Whitfeld batted patiently and well, and was at the wicket an hour and a-half for 33. In the last 85 minutes of the day George Gunn and Hardstaff made 63 together without loss for Notts. On Friday only 317 runs were made in five hours and a-half, play ceasing when the last wicket of the home side fell. The opening partnership lasted 115 minutes and realised 95, of which number Hardstaff claimed 60. John Gunn, although making only 27, stayed with his brother whilst 62 were added for the second wicket. George Gunn found another good partner in Payton, the result being that 76 were put on in 70 minutes before success again attended the fielding side. Gunn was then caught at the wicket for a faultless innings of 1 11 made out of 233 in four hours. He gave a very attractive display, though defending strongly, and hit a 6 and eighteen 4’s. During the latter part of the day Yine bowled his leg- breaks almost wide of tho leg-stump, the con­ sequence being that run-getting proved no easy matter. Iremonger played a capital and very careful game and, when tho innings closed for 380, carried out his bat for 69 made out of 147 in three hours. On the third morning Sussex, 134 behind, had nothing but a draw to play for. In consequence, they took things very leisurely, so that during the day only 277 runs were made for three wickets. Vine and Young made 32 for the first wicket in 55 minutes, and the former and Killick 121 for the second in two hours and three-quarters. Yine made 100 out of 205 in four and a-half hours and, when stumps were drawn, carried out his bat for 120. He and A. E. Relf put on 72 without being separ­ ated at the end of the match.

N O R T H A M P T O N S H IR E . Played at Leyton on July 30, 31 and A ugust 1. Essex w on by eight wickets. Neither side was at full strength for this match, but fome very interesting play was seen, as a result of which Essex won on the third morning by eight wickets. The visitors started well by making 51 for the first wicket, but at lunch-time half the side were out for 89. After the interval East found a capital partner in Thorp, and, so well did the pair bat, that in 95 minutes they added 110 together for the sixth wicket. East, who had been missed at the wicket when 47, then played-on, and, with the total unchanged, Sharp, having made 50 out of 110 in 100 minutes, was stumped. Douglas, put on the second time at 178, bowled 23 balls for 10 runs and four wickets, and Northants. lost their last five wickets with the total un­ changed. Essex lost Reeves, caught at slip, with only 9 scored, but in the last 80 minutes of the day Douglas and Perrin, without being parted, put on 75. On Friday the latter was lbw with only seven added; he hit six 4’s and helped to add 82 for the second wicket. Douglas was at times unnecessarily slow, and at one period of his innings made only 17 in an hour and a-half. He hit five 4’s and made his 64 out of 167 in 205 minutes. He and Freeman (E. J.) put on 40 for the fifth wicket in 45 min­ utes and the latter and Benham 35 for the sixth in half-an-hour. When their eighth wicket fell Essex were only 11 runs on, but Russell and Read improved the situation greatly by putting on 87 in 65 minutes. The latter, in the course of a faultless innings of 53, made several fine and confident hits. The innings, after lasting five hours and a-half, closed for 309, giving the home side the very useful lead of 110. Northants. commenced very poorly when they went in the second time, losing Hawtin with only two scored. Kingston and Hardy, by careful cricket, added 52 for the second wicket in 55 minutes, and, with Pool in, the arrears were cleared with eight wickets in hand. The third wicket added 57 in 40 minutes and then Pool was caught at the wicket off the last ball of the day for 27, Kingston being not out 50. On the third morning the last seven wickets went down for 35 in 50 minutes on a good pitch. Reeves taking five of them for only 19 runs. Kingston, first in and last out, hit seven 4’s in making 64 out of 146 in 160 inmates; he played a great game, but received very poor support. Essex, set 37 to win, lost Reeves and Freeman (J.) at 35, both stumped off Kingston’s bowling. Score and ai.alysis:— NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. First innings. Second innings. W. H.
