Cricket 1909

214 CR ICK E T : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 24, 1909. SUSSEX v. SURREY. Played at Horsham on June 17, 18 and 19. D raw n . On what appeared to be a fast and true wicket fifteen wickets went down on Thursday for 263 runs. Play was followed by a good crowd, over 5,000 persons being present on the ground in the after­ noon. Harrison batted 35 minutes for 3 and was first out, at 22. Hayes was caught at the wicket first ball, and, when Ducat was out, three wickets were down for 44. Marshal and Hobbs added 30 in (55 minutes, but, with Crawford failing, five wickets were down at lunch for 53. After the interval Marshal played a fine game and was well supported by Davis and Leveson-Gower, who helped to put on 48 in 40 minutes and 71 in 55 respectively. Leveson-Gower, cutting well, made his 34 in an hour, whilst Marshal, who hit seven 4’s, batted 125 minutes for 58. Lees was in good form with the ball at the end of day, and Sussex, when play ceased, had five wickets down for 76. On Friday the ninth wicket fell at 92, but Heygate and Butt, hitting freely, put on 54 for the last in 35 minutes. Hitch and Lees lx>wled very well and were largely responsible for the side’s lead of 41 on the innings. Surrey, going in the second time, lost Hobbs at 29, but Harrison and Hayes sent 50 up without further loss in 40 minutes, and put on 87 together in 85 minutes. Ducat, Marshal and Crawford made only 26 between them, and the sixth wicket fell at 179. Harrison batted soundly, and hit ten 4’s in scoring 81 out of 179 in two hours and a-half. Surrey baa by no means the best of the game when Davis and Leveson-Gower came together and, in an hour and a-half, added 137 for the seventh wicket. The former drove very well indeed, and once hit Vine out of the ground, whilst the latter’s display was marked by some fine cutting. At the cessation of play Surrey were 371 runs on with a wicket in hand. On the following morning, when Smith kept wicket instead of Butt, who had injured a finger, the last pair put on 25 in 10 minutes, and Sussex were left five hours and a half in which to make 397. Vine and R. R. Relf commenced the heavy task and, owing chiefly to the latter, 50 went up without loss in an hour : of that number Vine had contributed 12, all singles. Relf made 50 in 85 minutes, and at lunch the total was 79, Vine having then 15 sifigles to his credit. The last-named made 29 in two hours, the total then being 113, and then hit Hitch for 17 in an over. Relf, haying scored 100 out of 176 for the first wicket in 170 minutes, was caught-end-bowled : he played a faultless innings and hit a dozen 4’s, the majority of them cuts and off-drives. Vine was second out, at 19S, after batting 200 minutes for 76. A. E. Relf afterwards played well for 47 not out, and when stumps were drawn the total had reached 291 for five wicket s.

Played at Nottingham on June 17, 18 and 19. Northamptonshire won by 159 runs. The visitors had every reason to be satisfied with what they did on Thursday, when, after making 229, they got rid of Jones, Iremonger and Hardstaff for 48. At one time they appeared likely to make a large score, for Vials and Pool scored 69 for the first wicket and the latter and Hawtin 57 for the second. Of the others, however, only Wells and W. II. Denton reached double-figures. The feature of the innings was the batting of Pool, who, hitting Iremonger for 14 in an over, reached 50 out of 86 in 85 minutes and completed his hundred with the total 149. In all, he batted 190 minutes for 117 and hit a 6, a 5 and twelve 4’s, but he was twice missed— at slip when 15 and at square-leg when 81. As stated, Notts lost three good wickets at the end of the day for 48 runs, of which number George Gunn was responsible for 36. On Friday George Gunn made 42 out of 58, but half the side were out for 74, and, although John Gunn and Alletson put on 50 in 35 minutes and Oates and Hallam 39 in 20, the innings closed for 198, or 31 in arrears. When Northants went in the second time Pool was badly run out at 20, but Vials and Hawtin, who was missed at slip when 2, put on 62 together in an hour. Four other wickets quickly fell, but East and Hawtin played out time, the former taking three hours and five minutes to score 51 not out. When play ceased the side, with four wickets in hand, were 184 runs on. On Saturday Hawtin was out ere a run had been added, and very soon afterwards East was caught at slip. W. H. Denton and Beasley put on 38 for the ninth wicket, and Notts were left two hours and three-quarters in which to make 238. They lost Jones and the two Gunns for 4 and could never recover from the bad start. Half the side were out for 28, and it was only some determined play by Iremonger and Alletson that saved the side from an ignominious collapse. As it was, they were dismissed for 78, giving Northants their first win of the season. Score and analysis:— N orth am pton sh ire . First innings. Second innings. C. J. T.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. HAMPSHIRE. Played at Bristol on June 17, 18 and 19. TWO SEPARATE 100’s BY JESSOP. Drawn. After Gloucestershire had lost three wickets for 56 Jessop joined Board and played a remarkable innings. He took 40 minutes to score 50 but after­ wards hit so freely that he completed his hundred 25 minutes later. He punished Llewellyn for 61 (including four 6’s) in four overs, hitting them for 12, 14, 18 and 17. He made his 161 out of 199 in 95 minutes, scored off fifty-eight of the ninety-seven balls he received, and hit four 6’s, a 5 and twenty- one 4’s. The only chance, if such it may be called, he gave was a very hard one of caught-and-bowled to Llewellyn when 118. The stand for the fourth wicket lasted 80 minutes and put on 177. Board batted steadily, and hit six 4’s in making 71 out of 233 in 175 minutes. Evans did very well to take seven wickets for 59 in the innings of 295. Hamp­ shire lost Bowell without a run scored and Llewellyn was out first ball. Fortunately, White was in good form and carried out his bat for 51 of the 71 made before play ceased. On the second morning the six outstanding wickets went down on a good pitch for 84 in an hour and a-half. White batted 110 minutes without a mistake for his 71 and hit ten 4 s. Parker took six wickets in the innings of 158 for 74 runs, but Dennett was expensive. In their second innings the home side lost their first four wickets for 92, and then Jessop went in and joined Langdon. In 34 minutes he made 50, and in precisely similar time obtained his second half-century: whilst he was scoring 100 Langdon made 8. Altogether he made 129 of the 170 put on for the fifth wicket in 98 minutes without a chance, hitting thirteen 4’s, four 3’s, twenty 2’s and twenty-five singles, and scoring off 62 of the 106 balls he received. A feature of his display was his cutting. Langdon, content merely to keep up his wicket whilst Jessop was in, batted just under a couple of hours for 75 : he was in for 100 minutes for 40, but obtained his last 35 runs in a-quarter of an hour. At the end of the day eight wickets were down for 342, the home side then being 479 runs on. The innings was declared closed first thing on Saturday, leaving Hampshire 480 to win. Rain caused the start to be delayed until 12 o’clock, and shortly after that time there •was an interruption of half-an-hour for the same cause. Evans opened the innings with Bowell, and, following his dismissal at 42, the latter and White made a good stand. Bowell reached 50 in 45 minutes and 100 went up in an hour and a-half. When he had batted 110 minutes for 70, Bowell was out to a fine catch at cover-point by Jessop for a faultless innings which contained eight 4’s. W hite drove capitally, and, when stumps were drawn, carried out his bat for 160, made out of 307 in 240 minutes. He offered a chance to Jessop off his own bowling when 66, but made no other mistake. With Bowell he put on 89 for the second wicket and with Mead 122 for the fifth. Score and analysis :— G lo u c e s te r s h ir e . First innings.
