! 5 6 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M ay 27, 1909. GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. WARWICK­ SHIRE. Played at Bristol on May 24, 25 and 26. Drawn. The home side’s first innings was noteworthy only for a three-figure innings by Jessop, who, going in upon the fall of the third wicket at 30, scored 129 out of 201 in 130 minutes. He hit well and placed with marked sureness, and hit a 6, fifteeen 4’s, and seven 3’s. He reached 50 in 35 minutes and 100 in 95, and offered only one chance—to Foster off his own bowling when 101. Board helped him to add 73 in 35 minutes and Mills 60 in 35. Smith and Kinneir made 67 for th«; first wicket of Warwickshire, and the latter and Baker 44 for the second. The left-hander, playing a brighter game than usual, made his 74 out of 112 in 95 minutes ; he hit seven 4's. When play ceased 132 had been made for two wickets in 110 minutes. Play could not be resumed on the second day until 12.40, owing to rain, and when 20 runs had been added for the loss of Baker and Hargreave, the game was interrupted by a thunderstorm. Play was resumed afterwards, when the last six wickets fell so vapidly against Dennett and Parker that Gloucestershire were left with a lead of 49. In their second innings the home side made 162 for seven wickets by the end of the day, Langdon scoring 73 out of 133 in 110 minutes without a chance. With Winstone he made 52 for the first wicket and with Board added 75 for the third. Yesterday no play was possible owing to rain. Score and analysis :— G loucestershire . First innings.

Some surprising and sensational play was seen on Monday, Sussex disposing of Middlesex in 65 minutes on a hard and very fast wicket for 47 and replying with a score of 348 for nine wickets. The bowling of Leach and Relf (A. E.) was excellent, but the batting was very weak. During the innings,which is the lowest of the season, no one reached double figures, and the longest partnership was only 13 by Beresford and O’Connor. Leach, although hit for 11 in an over, took seven wickets for 26 runs, the whole side being dismissed in 17*3 overs. The wickets fell as under:— 1 2&3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 8 9 18 22 23 28 33 46 47 Sussex lost the younger Relf at 6, but Killick and /Vine added 65 in 50 minutes and the latter and Relf 'A . E.) 33 in 30. With Heygate in another useful stand took place, the fourth wicket putting on 73 before Vine was bowled by Mignon. Vine, fourth out, made 76 out of 177 in 160 minutes, playing a freer game than usual and giving no chance : he hit a dozen 4’s. Heygate drove well and, hitting ten 4’s, batted an hour and a-quarter for 63. The eighth w icket fell at , but, thanks to some delightful hitting by Smith, the total when stumps were drawn had reached 343 for nine wickets. Smith reached 50 in 35 minutes and at the end of the day carried out his bat for 89, which included sixteen 4’s. On Tuesday there was no play owing to rain, and yesterday also was a blank day.

Played at Leicester on May 24, 25 and 26. Drawn. On Monday the home side did well in dismissing Lancashire for 227 and replying with 161 for four wickets, but they should have done even better, for Hartley, when 2, was missed by Sharp at square-leg off King and MacLaren, with his score 24, was dropped by Crawford at mid-off off Astill. The mistakes were serious, for the pair remained to­ gether for. 85 minutes, during which they made 66 tor the first wicket. With Tyldesley in MacLaren reached 50 after batting an hour and a-half; altogether, he was in 125 minutes for 69, included in which were ten 4’s. The others did comparatively little and the innings, after lasting three and a-half hours, closed for 227—a poor total on such a good wicket. Knight and King put on 73 together in 50 minutes for Leicestershire, after two wickets had fallen for 49, and when play ceased the former carried out his bat for 81. King hit a 6 and five 4’s in his 40. Play was out of the question on the second day on account of wet, and yesterday rain only permitted Leicestershire to complete their innings for 221 and for the visitors to make 79 for two wickets. Knight played faultless cricket for two hours and a-half and hit twelve 4’s. Score and analysis:— L an cash ire . A. C. MacLaren, Shields, b Astill ... 69 A.

Hayward, owing to his damaged knee, did not assist Surrey, who were also without Strudwick, who had bruised his hand in the match at Edg- baston. Essex gave a trial to Morris, a leg-break bowler from Woodford, who took a couple of wickets on the first day for 36 runs. Surrey lost Marshal at 14, but Hobbs and Hayes retrieved the bad start by adding 176 for the second wicket in 130 minutes. The latter, hitting with delightful freedom, reached 53 out of 88 in 55 minutes, and at lunch time was 92 not out. In all, he scored 106 out of 176 in a little over two hours, hitting well all round the wicket, and making fourteen 4’s. When 18 he offered a very hard chance to Perrin at point off Douglas, but made no other mistake. Hobbs, missed at the wicket when 26, scored 50 out of 132 in an hour and a-half, and was fourth out (at 254) after batting 170 minutes for 99. He thus failed by a single run to make three consecutive hundreds. His chief hits were two 5’s and nine 4’s. At 268 Ducat and Leveson-Gower were bowled by Douglas with consecutive balls, and it was largely owing to Crawford, who made 63 in 75 minutes and hit five 4’s and three 3’s, that the total reached 336. Douglas took seven wickets for 100 and was never really mastered. In the last hour of the day Essex scored 43 for the loss of Douglas, who was caught at mid-off at 25. On Tuesday play did not commence until a quarter to five and 55 minutes later stumps were drawn owing to bad light. During that time the Essex score was increased to 62 for the loss of the wickets of Fane and McGahey. There was no play yesterday on account of rain. Score and analysis :— S u r r e y .

Yorkshire stayed in the whole of the first day, scoring in the five hours available 345 for nine wickets. The batting was very consistent, no one reaching 50 and everyone who was dismissed reach­ ing double figures. Rhodes and Wilson made 85 for the first wicket in an hour and a-quarter, and
