2 9 2 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y 2 9 , 1 9 0 9 . THE AUSTRAL IANS . 23 kd M atch .—' v . DERBYSHIRE. Played aj; Derby on July 22, 23 and 24. Australians won by ten wickets. Although putting their weakest side into the field, the visitors had all the best of the play on Thursday, dismissing the County for 116 and reply­ ing with 217 for four wickets. Against O’Connor and Whitty three wickets fell for 17, whilst at 45 both Morton and Sale were bowled. When the seventh went down at 73, O’Connor had taken six of them for 12 runs in nine overs. Warren and Humphries made the only stand of the innings, putting on 49 in 50 minutes for the eighth wicket. O’Connor’s analysis for the innings was seven for 45. W ith only a single scored McAlister was run out, and at 29 Ransford was caught off a skier. Gregory played sedately, but remained with Trumper whilst 52 were added in 40 minutes. After his departure Hopkins and Trumper were associated for the last 50 minutes of the day, during which they put on exactly 100. Trumper, missed at the wicket when 20, reached 50 in 80 minutes and 100 (out of 189) in two hours. On the second morning the last six wickets went down on a perfect pitch for 47 in 50 minutes against Warren and Morton. Trumper quickly hit three 4’s, but, having made 113 out of 201 in 125 minutes, was caught at the wicket. He hit seventeen 4’s in his very attractive display. At 252 Hopkins was eighth out for a faultless innings of 52 made out of 135 in 80 minutes, but no one else reached double figures, and the kinings closed for 264. The County, 148 behind, had made 28 for the loss of Wright’s wicket in 25 minutes when rain stopped play until three o’clock. Cadman and Needham afterwards added 32 for the second wicket, and the latter and Chapman 25 for the third. Hartigan made a couple of capital catches in the slips, and when rain came down again just before four o’clock, and caused stumps to be drawn for the day, four men were out for 87. On Saturday the last six wickets fell for 79, and the Australians won easily by ten wickets. The play was devoid of incident. Score and analysis :— D e r b y sh ir e . First innings. L. G.

Kent won by an innings and 62 runs. With Mason and A. P. Day in the side Kent were well represented; but Surrey had a weak team, neither Hayward, Hobbs, Crawford nor Leveson- Gower playing. The last-named had changed and had won the toss for Surrey when he received news of a relative’s death, and stood down in consequence: in his absence the side were led by Hayes. Surrey lost half their wickets for 96 in an hour and a-half, notwithstanding that Goatly and Bird put on 37 together in 20 minutes for the second and that Davis and Harrison added 34 for the fifth. Spring indulged in some delightful hitting whilst Harrison played steadily and reached 51 out of 66 in 50 m inutes: in all he made 97 of the 118 added for the sixth wicket in 80 minutes, giving no chance, and hitting a 6 and sixteen 4 s. He punished Blythe for a 6 and three 4’s in an over. Harrison played the right game in the circumstances : he made 35 out of 162 in 130 minutes and was seventh out, at 224. The Kent bowling and fielding were very good, Mason especially doing well. The home side lost Humphreys at 1, after which Seymour and Dillon added 95 in an hour and a-quarter for the second wicket. Seymour, third out (at 118), batted an hour and a-half for his valuable 60, and when play ceased for the day three wickets were down for 133. On the second day Hutchings was bowled with 13 added, but Huish played well and remained with Woolley whilst 64 were put on in 50 minutes before being yorked. With five wickets down for 210 A. P. Day and Woolley came together and in just under two hours added 139. The latter, the first to leave, hit a 6 (off Hayes) and twelve 4’s in making 117 out of 203 in 170 minutes: he drove with power and placed well to leg, and offered one chance —to Bird off his own bowling when 61. With Mason in another 79 were added and then Day was caught at the wicket for 101 made without a mistake out of 218 in 155 minutes : his chief hits were fourteen 4’s, mostly on-drives. Mason was eighth out after batting an hour for 46, and when, following Blythe’s dismissal, Fairservice and Fielder had put on 34 without being parted the innings was declared closed with Kent leading by 239. Surrey lost Hayes with 30 scored, but by the time play ceased Goatly and Bird had taken the score to 70 without further loss. Only 4 were added on the third day when the former trod on his wicket, and by the time the total had been taken to 84 between the showers Bird, Davis, Harrison and Spring had all been sent back. The last-named was out to a very fine running catch by Day at long-on. Ducat and Smith, whose partnership was frequently interrupted by the rain, pluckily put on 58 for the seventh wicket, but Kent won by an innings and 62 runs. Smith made his 45 out of 58 in 35 minutes. Score and analysis S u r r e y . First innings. Second innings.

Rlayed at Nottingham on July 22, 23 and 24. Notts won by 182 runs. The home side occupied all the time available on Thursday in making 325 for eight wickets. The earlier play was very slow, and when the fourth wicket fell an hour and three-quarters from the start the total was only 58. The brothers Gunn, each of whom hit ten 4’s, added 102 together in 100 minutes, and the elder and Albert Iremonger put on 74 in three-quarters of an hour. At the end of the day Alletson, hitting nine 4’s, scored 63 out of 91 in 50 minutes and carried out his bat. Rain caused an hour’s interruption on Friday, but did not affect the wicket. Notts took their total to 351, Alletson, who hit ten 4’s, scoring 70 out of 102 in an hour. After Gloucestershire had lost Salter, Board and Dipper put on 108 for the second wicket in 110 minutes. The former, in scoring 74, was fortunate, seeing that he was missed at the wicket when 3 and, when 49, played a ball from Wass on to his wicket without removing a bail. The younger Ire­ monger and Hallam bowled successfully and the total reached only 209. At the end of the day Notts strengthened their position by making 50 without loss, Iremonger (J.) and Payton in. On Saturday the latter left with 10 added and Notts, forcing the pace, made 191 for four wickets in 110 minutes and declared. Iremonger, hitting sixteen 4’s, claimed 100 of the number, whilst Alletson made 30 out of 50 in 25 minutes. The former played a fine game and gave no chance. Gloucestershire were left four hours in which to get 334. With one wicket down for 27 Jones went on to bowl and was so irresistible that he took eight wickets and pulled off the match by 182 runs.
