A u g u s t 19, 1909. CR ICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 341 S O M E E S E T v. K E N T . Played at Taunton on August 12, 13 and 14. LEWIS SOOEES 201 NOT OUT. D r aw n . Kent lacked the assistance of Dillon, owing to business claims, and of Fielder, who was feeling the effect of his recent strain, but they gave so good an account of themselves that they batted the whole of the first day for 388 and lost but six wickets. Humphreys and Seymour made 72 for the first wicket in G5 minutes, and the latter and Day added 82 for the second in an hour. The second and third wickets fell at the same total, and Seymour hit ten 4's. Woolley, driving well, scored 62 out of 119 in 80 minutes, his chief hits being eight 4’s : with Hutchings he put on 76 in 50 minutes and with Mason 48 in half-an-hour. Marsham scored only 7, but remained whilst 36 were added, whilst in the last 45 minutes of the day Huish and Mason scored 79 without being separated against the tired bowl­ ing, the latter carrying out his bat for a flawless 83, made in an hour and three-quarters. On the following morning 80 rum were added in 40 minutes and then the innings closed. Mason and Huish, in all, put on 134 for the seventh wicket in 70 minutes and both left at the same total, 442. The former made his 111 out of 212 in 130 minutes and hit fourteen 4’s, the majority of them powerful drives and well-judged leg-strokes: when 8 he offered a hard chance to Johnson in the slips, but made no other mistake. Huish hit nine 4’s during the 75 minutes he was in and played a free and faultless game. Braund and Johnson made 68 for Somerset’s first wicket, but Carr took five wickets in nine overs for 8 runs, and the total was only 87 when the sixth man left. Then Robson joined Braund and 91 were put on in an hour and a-half, the former making 62 of the number. Braund scored 72 out of 180 in 220 minutes ere being bow led: he hit nine 4’s. Carr took eifcht wickets for 36 and Somerset, following-on, 2S6 behind, made 16 without loss by the end of the day. On Saturday wickets soon began to tumble, Samson leaving at 17, Daniell at 32 and Johnson at 36, Carr taking all three wickets for 14 runs. Lewis then joined Braund and the pair effected such an improvement that their stand for the fourth wicket realised 146 in 135 minutes. Braund, missed by Hutchings at slip off Mason when 27, batted 150 minutes for his splendid 68, in which were eight 4’s. It is worthy of mention that during the partnership Blythe had so many men on the leg-side that Bagshaw, the umpire, stood at point. Palairet left at 191 and Phillips at 194, but Robson (missed by Hutchings at slip when 8) helped to add 70 in 40 minutes for the seventh wicket and Herbert 124 in 80 for the eighth. In scoring 201 out of 366 in four hours and a-half, Lewis played the highest innings of his career : he made twenty-nine 4’s and was guilty of only one chance—to Hutchings at squarc-leg at 128. Herbert played a fine game at a critical time, and both he and Lewis were deservedly cheered for saving the game. Score and analysis:— K e n t .

N O T T IN G H A M S H IR E v. SU SSEX. Played at Nottingham on August 12,13 and 14. Drawn. The home side batted five hours and 20 minutes on Thursday, all the time available, for 353 runs and lost but four wickets. They were given a fine start by Jas. Iremonger and Payton, whose stand for the first wicket lasted a couple of hours and realised 117. After the fall of the second wicket at 105, the brothers Gunn added 170 together in 140 minutes. At the end of the day Gunn (G.) carried out his bat for 124 : he was missed by Relf (A. E.) when 65, but gave no other chance. On Friday Gunn (G.) was lbw when he had made 138 out of 270 in four hours ; he hit seventeen 4’s and offered only the one chance mentioned. Iremonger (A.) also played a good game, making 60 out of 85 in an hour ; with Clifton, who scored only 6, he put on 57 for the last wicket in 35 minutes. Leach took six wickets during the long innings for 19 runs each. Sussex made but a moderate start, Relf (R. R.) leaving at 29 and Heygate at 58. Vine, however, added 56 with Killick and 67 with Relf (A. E .); he made his 90 out of 181 in two hours and a-half, hitting only four 4’s. The elder Relf, who carried out his bat for 55, found a useful partner in Cartwright, who batted an hour and helped to put on 62 for the fifth wicket. When played ceased half the side were out for 249. On Saturday Cox and Iielf added 5S together in 70 minutes, and the latter and Smith 40 in 35. Relf was then sent back for 125 made out of 248 in three hours and three-quarters : he hit a dozen 4’s and offered only one chance, Alletson missing him at slip when 61. Notts led by only 39 on the innings and, a draw being assured, little interest attached to the play when they went in the second time. Score and analysis :— N o tts . First innings.

Played at Sheffield on August 12, 13 and 14. Yorkshire won by five wickets. Yorkshire batted all the first day, scoring 2S6 for nine wickets. For their total they were largely indebted to Denton, who played a very bright game. Going in when Rhodes had been caught at 3, he was fifth out, scoring 130 out of 199 in three hours : he hit sixteen 4’s and reached his 100 out of 136 in 125 minutes. When 11 he gave a hot chance to Wright at point, but made no other mistake. He found a useful partner in Rothery, who, making only 23 himself, stayed whilst 73 were added in 57 minutes. Olonzo Drake, of the second eleven, who was being given a trial in the absence of Hirst, played faultless cricket for an hour and a-half, during which time he scored 54 and hit seven 4’s. The innings closed on Friday for 293, after lasting five hours. Bestwick did well to take six wickets for 88 in such a total, and he certainly deserved his success. Derbyshire, after having seven wickets down at lunch for 92, were dismissed in 140 minutes for 108. Following- ' on, 185 behind, they had scored 122 for four wickets by the time stumps were drawn. On the third day Chapman and Oliver added 50 together and Warren and Wright 56, leaving Yorkshire 63 to win. By that time the wicket had begun to wear, and, with Warren and Bestw’ick bowling well, runs took a lot of getting. Three wickets were down for 16 and half the side were out for 40. The remaining runs were then hit off by Bates and Drake, who did his side excellent service on his first appearance for it. Score and analysis :— Y o r k s h ir e . First innings. Second innings.
