Cricket 1908

A ugu st 27, 1908. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. SU S SE X v. NOTTINGHAMSH IRE. Played at Hastings on August 24, 25, and 26. Nottinghamshire won by 183 runs. There had been much heavy rain in Hastings on Sunday, and it was not until three o’clock on the following day that it was found possible to start this match. Notts then batted on a soft wicket and, owing largely to slack fielding, made 179 for five wickets. The first wicket realised 2S runs, and the second 40. George Gunn, third out at 82, batted in finished style for an hour and a half, but should have been caught when 18 and stumped when 23. The best innings of the day was played by Payton, who made his 51 out of 81 in eighty minutes ; he hit well all round the wicket, gave no chance, and in partnership with Jones put on 00 in three-quarters of an hour. On the following morning Oates was Innvled at 197, and 17 later Jones was caught at mid- off after batting eighty minutes for 43. A. E. Relf quickly obtained the three last wickets, the innings closing for 223. Sussex made a poor start, losing Young at 4 and Killick at 15. With the total 34 fox- two wickets, Iremonger went on and carried all before him. So fast did wickets fall that 10 runs were still required to save the follow-on when the last man went in. The number was obtained, but the innings closed for 76. Iremonger took six wickets for 19 runs, having all the batsmen in difficulties. Going in a second time with a lead of 147, John Gunn and Payton added 50 in half-an-hour after Hardstaff and George Gunn had been quickly dismissed. Jones hit up 28 out of 37, and at the end of the day, when six wickets were down for 167, Iremonger carried out his bat for 39. Yesterday the last four wickets added 28, leaving Sussex 343 to win. Against Hallam, Wass, and Iremonger the batsmen fared badly, only Vine playing with much confidence. The whole side were dismissed for 159, leaving Notts, successful by 183 runs.

Hubble scored 150 for M.C.C. and Ground v. Oxford City at Oxford, and E. H. D. Sewell 183 for Surrey Club and Ground v. Borough of Southwark at the Oval. In the second innings of Oxford Harlequins v. Glamorgan, at Cardiff, on Tuesday, Nesh took nine wickets in an innings of 67 for 33 runs. Eight of his wickets were bowled down, and the 9tli lbw. The tenth man was missed off him first ball. M IDD LESEX v. KENT. Played at Lord’s on August 24, 25, and 26. Kent won by 117 runs. Two attractive sides took the field for this match, Mason and Bosanquet re-appearing, but play on the opening day was so severely restricted owing to the previous very heavy rain that it was not until half­ past three that a start could be made. Run-getting was always a difficult matter, and it was due largely to a missed catch that Kent managed to make 131 for six wickets. With only 8 scored Hardinge was finely stumped, and at 30 both Seymour and Marsliam were sent back. Twelve later Woolley was out to a fine catch at sliort-leg and at 47, when Day was stumped, half the side were out. It was at this point that Hutchings and Mason came together and commenced their valuable partnership. In an hour and a-quarter they put on 80, of which number Hutchings was responsible for 58 : he hit eight 4’s, but befoi’e he had scored was missed off the simplest of catches, the ball falling harmlessly between the bowler (Tarrant) and mid-off. At the end of tho day Mason carried out his bat for 20. On Tuesday Humphreys was caught after batting nearly an hour for 8, and helping to add 27 for the seventh wicket. Fourteen later Mason was caught at slip for a very valuable 48 made out of 126 in one hundred and fifty-five minutes. Huish made some good hits, and was so well supported by Fairservice that the ninth wicket added 38. Tarrant took seven wickets for 117 in the innings of 207, but bowlecl better than the figures would lead one to imagine. Middlesex lost Warner at 5, but Douglas and Moon put on 41 and the latter and Bosanquet 58. The last named, who was bowled in trying to drive, made some very fine hits and scored his 50 out of 58 in forty minutes ; he made ten 4’s, two 3’s, a 2, and two singles. Moon stayed until 138, when he was fifth out, after batting a couple of hours for 41. With Harrison and Etheridge together the cricket became very slow, the pair making only 19 during the forty minutes they were together. Wells, employing brighter methods, made 27 out of 40, and then, with the Kent score equalled, the innings was closed, it being hoped to get down one of the visitors’ wickets before the end of the day. The move, however, did not meet with success, Marsham and Hardinge making 14 together without being separated. Yesterday Marsham was caught with only 10 added, but Hardinge and Seymour took the total to 63 before another wicket fell. Seymour, Woolley, and Mason were all out by the time the total had reached 83. Hutcliiugs then forced the game and, finding a good partner in Day, 37 were added for the sixth wicket. With Humphreys in an even better stand was made—runs were difficult to get—65 being put on before Day was bowled for 40, which took two hours and a-half to make. At 204 for seven the innings was closed, Middlesex being left one hundred and five minutes in which to make 205. Fairservice and Blythe bowled with great effect, Warner being out at 13 and Moon at 43. With 20 more added both Bosanquet and Tarrant had been dismissed, and then so great a collapse occurred that the last six wickets went down for 24, leaving K^nt successful by 117 runs. It was a great triumph f<r the visitors who certainly showed the better cricKet on the third day. Woolli y won the game for his side by taking six wickets for 8 runs in twenty-seven balls.

Winning the toss, Derbyshire put the home side in on a soft wicket. The policy, however, was not a success, for Warwickshire batted the whole of the day, scoring 356 for eight wickets. Fishwick and Kinneir, playing well, made 95 for the first wicket in an hour-and-a-quarter, And Baker and Quaife added 58 for the third. The latter took two hours and a-quarter to reach 50, but completed his 100 an hour and a-quarter later. He was missed at short-leg when 91, and at close of play carried out his bat for 111. On the second morning the innings closed for 391, Field helping to add 19 for the last wicket. Quaife cariied out his bat for 131 made out of 292 in four hours ; he hit fourteen 4’s, but was missed three times—twice when 91 and again at 117. Derbyshire lost Wright at 9 and Needham at 21, but at lunch the total was 55 without further loss. Lawton was out first ball, and the last seven wickets put on only 54. Field, in bowling Rickman, sent a bail 58 yards, almost to the boundary. Morton made his 25 not out in 95 minutes, batting very steadily. Derbyshire, 282 in arrears, followed-on, and lost Needham, Morton, and Sale for 18. Wright and Cadman put on 65 in just over an hour and the latter and Lawton a further 61 without being separated, the total when play ceased being 144 for four wickets, Cadman not out 6S. On Wednesday Cadman played fine cricket, but, receiving poor support, could not stave off the innings defeat. Score and analysis — W a r w ic k s h ir e . T. S.
