3 5 * CR ICK ET A W EEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g u st 2 0 , 19 0 8 . G L O U C E S T E R SH IR E y. W A R W IC K ­ S H IR E . Played at Cheltenham on August 13 , 14 , & 15 . Gloucestershire won by ten wickets. Ghampain made a welcome and very successful reappearance in the Gloucestershire team, and made one regret that he is not seen more frequently in first-class cricket. Warwickshire, going in first, made a deplorable start, losing six wickets for 92, but Stephens hit splendidly and claimed 74 of the 128 runs added in ninety minutes with Quaife for the seventh ; he made thirteen 4’s, but was twicc missed—at 52 and 64. Quaife was in two hours and a-half for 89, the latter part of his innings being more free than one is accustomed to expect of him. When (58he offered a hard chance, but it detracted little, if at all, from his display. Gloucestershire made 55 for two wickets on the first day, and on the second took the total to 473, which was made in three hundred and twenty minutes. Ford, owing to an injury, could bat with but one hand, but scored 20. The fifth wicket fell at 105, and then Jessop went in, and, hitting freely, reached 50 in twenty-five minutes. He scored 49 off three con­ secutive overs—16 off Charlesworth, 15 off Hilditch, and 18 off Field. By faultless cricket he made 72 of the 88 added for the sixth wicket with Champain in thirty-five minutes, hitting a 6 and thirteen 4’s. The last named gave a flawless display also, and during the two hours he was in made fourteen 4’s, some of his strokes on the off-side being superb. The latter part of the innings was marked by a fine display by Langdon, who made 10S in two hours and a-half, and played so brightly when he had once settled down that he ran his score from 50 to 100 in forty minutes. With Dennett he added 51 in an hour, and with Huggins 120 in seventy-five minutes. He offered no chance, for no importance attaches to the fact that he was caught off a no-ball when 41. Warwickshire, 187 behind, had five wickets down for 79 after Kinneir and Fishwick had made 42 for the first. Glover, hitting seven 4's, afterwards made 47 in 40 minutes, and Santall and Field put on 56 for the last wicket in half-an-liour, but Gloucestershire won very easily.

ALBERT BIRD’S BENEFIT. Drawn. The home side gave a very disappointing display on the first day, being all disposed of for 118 in two hours and a quarter. Bowley left at 1, Pearson at 11, and G. N. Foster at 21. Burns and H. K. Foster put on 21, Arnold reached double figures, and at the end of the innings Simpson-Hayward and Bale put on 21. Sussex started in promising fashion, Young and Vine making 52 for the first wicket and the latter and Killick 28 for the second. Busher and Arnold then bowled so well, however, that half the side were out for 95. A . E. Relf played a fine game for his side, and Leach helped him to add 29 for the eighth wicket and Cox 102 for the ninth. He batted just over two hours for his 75 and hit nine 4’s, whilst Cox batted soundly for forty-five minutes. 108 behind, Worcestershire lost Pearson at 5 and Bowley and Arnold at 10. The Fosters then came together and in a few minutes overtwo hours added 137 for the fourth wicket. They took the total from 50 to 100 in forty minutes and H .K .,” hitting seven 4’s, made his 68 out of 142 in one hundred and thirty minutes. At twenty minutes past four, when four wickets were down for 148, play was stopped for the day owing to bad light. On Satur­ day G. N. Foster gave a splendid display of batting. He reached 100 in two hundred and twenty minutes and, in all, scored 154 out of 320 in three hundred and fifteen minutes: he hit eighteen 4’s and was missed at leg off the elder Relf when 60. With Burns, who completed his 1,000 runs for the season, he put on 39 and with Simpson-Hayward 60. Burrows hit up 41 in half-an-hour and Sussex were set 265 to win in two hours thirty-five minutes. Young batted freely when he opened the innings with Vine, and claimed 57 of the 76 runs made for the first wicket in seventy-two minutes. Kil­ lick was sccond out, at 117, but no other wicket fell, Rolf and Vine putting on 57 without being parted, Relf obtaining 41 of the number. This was Sussex' fourteenth drawn game in Championship matches during the season. Score and analysis:— W <>RCESTERS111RE. First innings. Pearson, b Leach Bowley, b A. Relf II. K. Foster, e R.

Philadelphians won by 25 runs. Dull weather and the presence of the Yorkshire team at the Oval combined to cause only a small attendance 011 the first day. The visitors, who regarded their meeting with the M.C.C. as their most important match of the tour, made a good start, White and King scoring 53 together in fifty minutes. The latter and Graves were out to con­ secutive balls, and the fourth wicket fell at 57. Wood and Bolilcn pulled the game round by adding 65 in seventy minutes, the former, who was last out, making some excellent hits past point; he was last out, playing on when he had scored 67 out of 130 in two hours and 10 minutes. He gave 110 chance and hit a 5 and four I ’s. The M.C.C. fared badly in a poor light at the end of the day against King and Hordern, losing six wickets for 50 runs. O 11 Friday, thanks chiefly to Gannon and Weigall, who added 62 in seventy minutes, the last four wickets put on 104, the total being taken to 154. Gannon by watchful cricket made his 39 in an hour and fifty minutes. In their second innings the Philadelphians owed much to White, who went in first, and probably saved a collapse. Three men were out for 25, and, although Wood (who had a runner, owing to a damaged foot) helped to add 56 in an hour, the total was only 99 when the sixth wicket fell. Hordern, who hit hard and well, helped to put on 71 in fifty minutes, but the chief honours belonged to White, who, by steady and valuable cricket, made 62 out of 188 in just over three hours, bitting six 4’s. The M.C.C. were set 247 to win, and by the end of tho day had obtained 15 without loss. On tho third morning Prichard was out at 31, and 10 later Weigall, who batted patiently for forty minutes, was bowled. Douglas failed to score, and Bird made but half-a-dozen. With Fane and King together, however, a fine stand was made for the fifth wicket. The hundred went up in an hour and forty minutes, and it was not until tho partnership had realised 74 in sixty-five minutes that a separation was brought about. Fane was then caught at slip after batting eighty-five minutes for 42. King met a similar fate at 150, and a victory for the tourists seemed assured. Crawford made 37 in under an hour, adding 23 with Gannon, who also put on 42 with Browning. When the latter was beaten by Hordern the end soon came, Gannon and Mead falling before Greene. The Philadelphians owed much to the all-round cricket of Hordern, who also brought off some fine slip catches. Score and analysis:— T h e P h ilad elph ian s . First innings. Second innings. J. B.
