Cricket 1909

3 l6 CR ICK ET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g u s t 5, 1909. STJBREY v. N O T T IN G H A M S H IR E . Played at the Oval on August 2, 3 and 4. Surrey won by six wickets. Lcveson-Gower, Hobbs, and Marshal re-appeared fur Surrey, who were better represented than for some tim e past. Notts batted first on a slow wicket and took four hours to score 185. There was no excuse for their unenterprising display, which was very disappointing to the large holiday crowd and frequently provoked ironical applause. After Jones had been dismissed by a fine running catch at 23, Iremonger (J.) and Gunn (G.) played seven successive maiden overs ere the latter was bowled with the total unchanged. Ii-emongerat one period batted half-an-hour without scoring, and took SO minutes to make 10. Hardstaff did his best to improve matters : by capital cricket he made 35 out of 60 in 75 minutes. The fourth wicket added 43 and the fifth 66. It was not until play had lasted two hours 35 minutes that three-figures went up. John Gunn, never comfortable, was in two hours for 47. The younger Iremonger and Alletson made double-figures, and the total reached 185. In a little over an hour at the end of the day Surrey scored 73 for two wickets, Marshal, who hit freely, aud Hobbs making 53 for the first wicket and the latter and Hayes adding 20 for the second. Goatly left the next morning to the third ball bowled, whilst at 67 Hobbs was caught at short-leg by Hallam Davis hit well and made 30 out of 41 in 40 minutes, but the best form was shown by Ducat, who scored 5S in 105 minutes and hit seven 4’s. Surrey gained the useful lead of 36 on the innings, but quickly lost it, for Jones and Iremonger (J.) made 48 for the first wicket in half-an-hour. With George Gunn in the run-getting became very slow, and it was a relief when the newcomer was out at 75. Hardstaff was more enterprising and he sent the 100 up 90 minutes from the start. The third wicket added 42. John Gunn left at 142 and after the tea interval three wickets fell for 16. Surrey then possessed an advantage, which was, however, destroyed by Payton and Oates, who added 58 in just under 50 minutes. Hallam failed, but Wass made a very useful 22, and Surrey were left to get 221 to win with a whole day before them. On W ednes­ day Marshal was caught at slip at 11 whilst 3 later Hobbs was lbw. The association of Hayes and Goatly pulled the game round, the former scoring freely. The 100 went up without further loss but at that total Goatly was bowled after helping to add 86. With Ducat in another good stand was made, and just after lunch the hitting by the pair was very vigorous. Altogether, the wicket put on 77 in an hour before Ducat was caught at squarc-lcg for 30. W ith Davis in the remaining runs were made w ith­ out further loss, Surrey winning in capital style. Hayes carried out his bat for a faultless 98, which took 165 minutes to make and contained eight 4’s. Score and analysis :— N o tt s . First innings. Second innings. b A. O.

The wickct during the first hour on Monday was easy, but bowlers afterwards received so much assistance that during the day twenty-two wickets fell for 263 runs. Johnson and Robson hit freely, and made 69 for the first wicket in 45 minutes, but at lunch half the side were out for 114. Parker and Dennett afterw'ards finished off the innings for 140. Gloucestershire fared even worse, only Meyer and F. B. Roberts reaching double-figures and the side being out in an hour and a-half for 80 ; the former made his 23 in 15 minutes. In the last 45 minutes of thQ day Somerset strengthened their position by scoring 43 for the loss of Johnson and Robson. Against Dennett and Parker Somerset lost their eight outstanding wickets in an hour for 69 runs, leaving the home side 173 to win. The Somerset bowlers made the most of the wicket, however, and gained a substantial victory for their side. Score and analysis:— S o m e r se t . First innings. P. R. Johnson, c Langdon, .

L E IC E S T E R S H IR E . Played at Northampton on August 2 and 3. Northants won by an innings and 111 runs. Northants placed their strongest side in the field, but Leicestershire lacked the assistance of Knight through indisposition. Over 8,000 persons watched the game on Monday, and the good display of the home side was naturally welcomed. Pool and Vials made 72 for the first wicket in 75 minutes and the latter and Bird 47 for the second in 35. Vials, third out, made his 75 out of 138 in 130 minutes, but was missed at slip when 48. Denton afterwards scored 47 out of 87 in 70 minutes—his highest score for the County: with Kingston he put on 44 in 30 minutes and with Manning 43 in 40. The iunings lasted four hours and a-quarter and realised 273. At the end of the day Leicestershire lost Astill, King and Turner for 14 runs, Smith taking his lOOt.li wicket of the soason. On the second morning Smith bowled in his best form and, taking seven wickets for 20, caused Leicestershire to follow-on 224 behind. At lunch half the side were out for 42, and, although King and Hazlerigg made useful scores, a very heavy defeat was experienced. Score and analysis:— N o r t h a m p t o n s h ir e . G. A. T.
