Cricket 1908

39 ° CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. S e p t . 3, 1908. M IDD LE SEX v. E S S E X . Flayed at Lords on August 27, 28 and 29. Drawn. On Thursday the start of the match was delayed for fortj’ minutes on account of showers, and then Middlesex, having won the toss, commenced batting on a slow but not difficult wicket. With only a single scored Moon was lbw, but following his dis­ missal came a useful partnership by Warner and and Douglas. By stylish and attractive cricket the pair added 96 for the second wicket in 100 minutes before the latter was caught at mid-off. Bosanquet also proved a good partner for Warner, and was seen at his best in scoring 26 out of 47 put on during his slay ; he was run out when well set whilst attempting a third run for a hit. Wi'h Tarrant in the rate of scoring decreased considerably, and of the 73 put on for the fourth wicket in eighty- five minutes the new comer was responsible for only 14. He gave a very tedious display which contrasted strongly with the bright cricket shown by Bosan­ quet. The fourth wicket fell at 216 and four runs 1 iter Warner’s faultless innings was ended ; he made his 117 out of 2.0 in two hundred and thirty-five minutes, hitting ten 4’s and scoring well all round the wicket. After his dismissal Harrison and Murrell put on 16 by unenterprising cricket, the scoring when play ceased being 236 for five wickets. On Friday and Saturday no cricket was possible owing to rain, the match accordingly remaining unfinished. Score and analysis :— M id d l e s e x . P. F. Warner, b Read 117 L. J.

The tenth annual Tournament under the auspices of the Wanderers Cricket and Athletic Club was held at Parkside, Chicago, from August 1st to 10th, and proved a great success. The weather conditionswere of the best and the wickets excellent. The clubs which c mpeted for the Championship finished in the following order:— Won. Lost. Drn. Wanderers ... 2 ... 0 ... 1 Winnipeg ... 0 ... 0 ... 3 Pittsburg. St. Louis ... Pts. . 5 . 3 . 3 . 1 At the last moment Toronto and Phila­ delphia f- und themselves unable to send teams, much to the disappointment of everyone connected with the Tournament. The feature of the cricket was the batting of Livingstone, who learnt the game in Jam aica and made three hundreds in succession without losing his wicket. PITTSBURG v. WANDERERS.

Livingstone hit thirteen 4’s in his chanceless innings. A report stated:—“ The Pittsburg scouts were more lively, although they dropped three catches, one easy and two hard. Tommy Bissell, who is something of a baseball player, failed to pinch a fast travelling ball that was making for the boundary, and he gets one error.” Score and analysis:— P ittsbu rg . T.
