Cricket 1909

2 4 6 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J uly 8, 1909. WARWICKSHIRE v. HAMPSHIRE. Pl'Byed at Leamington on July 1, 2 and 3. Hampshire won by 55 runs. W ith Lilley playing for England at Leeds and Hargreave suffering from a damaged finger, War­ wickshire were not at full strength, whilst the presence of Fry in the Test-match caused the visitors to lack the services of one of their best men. Mead and Bowell made 38 for Hampshire’s first wicket and the latter and White 89 for the second. Bowell hit eight 4’s in his attractive innings, but the best cricket was shown by White, who made his faultless 70 out of 136 in 100 minutes : he hit a 6 (off Foster) and seven 4’s, and made his runs by a variety of strokes. Considering the excellence of the wicket, Santall’s analysis of eight for 86 was very good indeed. Warwickshire, in the last 40 minutes of the day, made 49 for the loss of Kinneir. On the second morning the fifth wicket went down at 98, and it was due chiefly to a sound innings of 45 by Santall that the total reached 223. The player named batted 85 minutes ere playing-on, and with Glover added 68 for the seventh wicket. In Hampshire’s second innings Stone made 30 of the first 35 runs, but Mead showed the best cricket on the side : he made 50 in 170 minutes, and, when play ceased with seven wickets down for 156, earned out his bat. On Saturday Brown gave him good assistance, but was bowled at ISO. Newman reached double figures and Mead carried his bat through the innings of 223 for 88, made in four hours and .ten minutes. The home side were set 273 to win, and actually lost half their wickets against Evans and Llewellyn for 41. Fishwick and Baker, how­ ever, added 111 for the sixth wicket, and Foster hit well, but Hampshire won as stated. Foster made 51 not out in 30 minutes and hit two 6’s and seven 4’s. W ith Smith he put on 61 for the last wicket. Score and analysis:— H ampshire . Second innings. not out.................. 88 lbw, b Foster ... 0 First innings. Jflead, lbw, b Santall..........

G. LEVESON-GOWER’S XII. v. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. Played at Eastbourne on July 1, 2 and 3. Mr. Leveson-Gower’s XII. won by two wickets. Weigall, who captained Leveson-Gower’s team, won the toss and sent the University in. Seitz and Leese, however, made 62 for the opening partnership in 45 minutes and, although R. T. Crawford took six wickets for 72 runs, tho innings realised 185. In reply, the scratch side lost six wickets for 43. V. F. S. Crawford then hit up 27 out of 29, and with Muglis­ ton batting 90 minutes for 34 and R. T. Crawford making 17 not out, the total reached 101. Gilbert had a fine analysis, and at one period of the innings took four wickets in 15 overs for 8 runs. During the day twenty-two wickets went down for 286. On the second day Raynor and Hurst put on 44 together for the University’s fourth wicket in the second innings, but at lunch five wickets were down for 122. After the interval there was such a collapse that the six wickets fell for 24, leaving Leveson-Gower’s XII. 146 to win. R. T. Crawford took five wickets for 36 runs and Powell five for 40. When the task of makiDg the necessary runs was entered upon Chinnery and V. F. S. Crawford gave the side a good start by making 60 for the first wicket. The former played a very attractive game for 53, and to a certain point his effort was well supported. Lagden, how­ ever, took three wickets in quick succession, and by the time 154 were on the board six men were out. At the end of the day the total was 189 for seven, and on Saturday the remaining runs were obtained for the loss of two more wickets. Score and analysis:— O xford U niversity . First innings.

W. 4 6 1 1 7 2 KENT v. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. Played at Gravesend.on July 1 and 2. Kent won by 125 runs. During Thursday twenty wickets went down for 343 runs, the day’s play closing when the visitors’ last wicket had fallen. Dillon played a fine game on the soft wicket, and, hitting freely, made his flawless 89 out of 142 in two hours: he hit four­ teen 4’s, driving and hitting to leg in fine style. With Hutchings, who drove with his accustomed vigour, he added 46 in 35 minutes, and with Woolley 43 in half-an-hour. After the fall of the seventh wicket Fairservice and Huish put on 51 in 25 minutes, and the total reached 227. Thompson’s analysis of six for 55 represented some fine work. On a wicket which had gradually been getting worse, Northants did badly. Half the side were out in an hour for 55, but a sixth-wicket stand of 37 by Thompson and East pulled things round and the total reached 116. Blythe carried off the honours with the ball, his six wickets costing 49 runs. The wicket gave the bowlers more assistance on Friday, and it was found possible to complete the match in two days. East, owing to a strain, was unable to play, and the visitors naturally felt his absence severely. Only three of the Kent men made double­ figures. Dillon, as in the first innings, played a useful game, but was overshadowed by Hutchings, who hit five fours and scored 51 out of 123 in an hour and a-half without losing his w icket; with Huish, who hit a six off Smith, he put on 50 for the eighth wicket in half an-hour. Northants were set 259 to win, and for some time stood a fair chance of making the runs. Owing chiefly to Smith, who hit eight 4’s during the 50 minutes he was in, the fourth wicket did not go down until 101. Then, however, followed such a collapse that the innings closed for 131, Fielder taking the last four wickets for 6 runs in 31 balls. Score and analysis. ■ K ent . First innings. E. W.
