Cricket 1908

S e p t . 3, 1908. CRICKET •. A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 389 LANCA SH IRE v. L E IC E S T E R SH IR E . Played at Manchester on August 27, 28, and 29. Lancashire won by 238 runs. On a drying wicket as many as twenty batsmen were dismissed in less than five hours on the opening day for 283 runs. Lancashire, who were very for­ tunate to win the toss, could make only 147. Heap, hitting well all round the wicket, batted an hour for 37, whilst at the end of the innings Macleod made an invaluable 40 in fifty-five minutes : it was due largely to his fine hitting that the last two wickets put on 45. After Knight had been caught at 9, Wood and Whitehead added 45, and, with the second wicket not falling until 54, the game was then fairly level. A t 46, however, Harry was put on, and he bowled with such effect that the last eight wickets went down in fifty-five minutes for 34 runs, the innings closing for S8. Harry, who had been an absentee from the side owing to indisposition, took half-a-dozen wickets at a cost of only three runs each. In the last half-hour of the day Lancashire still further increased their advantage by making 48 without loss, Whitehead and Hartley in. On a soft and easy wicket on the second morning the pair batted so well that it was not until the innings had lasted two hours and ten minutes that the first wicket fell. Whitehead was then bowled for an excellent 104, which was made up of strokes all round the wicket, and especially of drives : he hit a 5 and seven 4’s, and offered only one chance—being missed in the long-field when 41. Ten minutes later Hartley met a similar fate when he had played sound cricket for 85. T\’ldesley (J. T.) and Heap made useful scores and Macleod, who hit seven 4’s, ran up 46 out of 90 in an hour, hitting seven 4’s. With eight wickets down for 354 the innings was declared closed, leaving Leicestershire 414 to win. The visitors had largely themselves to thank for their heavy task as they missed several catches. Before play ceased on Friday 2S runs had been scored for the loss of Knight’s wicket. On the third day no play was possible until half-past twelve, and then the match was resumed on a soft wicket. Wood made a great attempt to save his side by batting one hundred and ten minutes for 24 and he was well supported by King, who was at the wicket two hours for 44. The latter half of the side, however, gave a feeble display, and Lancashire won by 238 runs. Score and analysis :— L a n c a sh ir e . First innings. A.

Derbyshire won by 129 runs. On Thursday twenty wickets fell in this match for 254 runs, the visitors securing a lead of 46 on the innings. Lawton, playing quieter cricket than usual, batted sixty-five minutes for 28 and Morton also showed good form in making 22. The bowling figures of East and Thompsonwere very similar. Pool and Kingston put up 40 together for the first wicket and owing in no small measure to this useful stand the Derbyshire total was passed with only five wickets down. Vials played flawless cricket for one hundred minutes and hit seven 4’s in making 57, but of the others only Wells, who carried out his bat for 12, reached double figures. Play was im­ possible on the second day, but on the third Derby­ shire, quite out-playinar their opponents, won by 129 runs. Wright and Needham put up 61 together for the first wicket, the former playing a capital game for 59. Lawton also was seen to advantage in maKing 63 in fifty minutes, and, although the tail collapsed, Northants were set 172 to win in two hours and a-half. As it happened, the task proved altogether beyond them, the whole side being dis­ posed of for 42. Score and analysis:— D e r b y sh ir e . First innings. Second innings. L.G.

Owing to their long journey from Sunderland, the Philadelphians were unable to take the field on the opening day before twenty minutes past twelve. The visitors quickly lost White, but King and Morris added 53 in forty minutes for the second wicket. Morris hit nine 4’s during the hour he was in and was missed when 7. After the fall of the fifth wicket at 97, Lester scored 34 out of 84 and the total eventually reached 188. made in three and a-half hours. Woolley followed up his bowling success at Lord’s by taking seven wickets for 75 runs. King proved very difficult when Kent went in, and, although Seymour played well f.»r 39, seven wickets went down on the opening day for 66. Friday was a blank day owing to the weather, but a definite result was reached on the third afternoon. On Saturday the County’s last three wicket s put on 36 in forty minutes, the innings closing for 102. The Philadelphians fared badly upon going in the second time, losing half their wickets for 21 runs in forty minutes, and being all disposed of for 37 in an hour and a-quarter, their smallest total of the tour. Fairservice, who was chiefly responsible for the col­ lapse, took six wickets for 12 ruin ; he took his last five in four overs for 3 runs and at one period of the innings obtained four without a run in the course of 15 balls. Kent were set 124 to win, and lost both Mason and Marsham for 21. Humphreys and Sey­ mour added 53 for the third wicket and practically made the result a foregone conclusion. The winning hit was made with four wickets in hand, Hum­ phreys carrying out his bat for a most valuable 43. Score and analysis:— P h ila d e lp h ia n s . First innings. J . B.
