Cricket 1909

A u g u s t ig, i g o g . CR ICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 349 played very steadily for 49, but was missed when 42. Run-getting was so difficult a matter that the 100 took 140 minutes to reach. Warren and Humphries added 45 for the ninth wicket and saved the follow- on, but the visitors led by 108 on the innings. Going in again, Lancashire scored 151 for six wickets by very consistent cricket, Makepeace, who made 45 of the first 74 runs, showing the best form. Yesterday Lancashire declared at their over-night total, but play could not be resumed until past three o’clock. Derbyshire were left with 260 to win, but never looked like making the runs. Huddleston and Dean, making the most of the wicket, dismissed the side for 109, leaving the visitors with an easy victory. Cadman again played a good innings, but received poor support.

In this match, the last home county fixture of the Yorkshire season, Hirst re-appeared after a brief rest, but Middlesex took the field without Wells. There had been some rain in the early morning and Middlesex gained nothing by winning the toss. In a poor light they fared badly at the start, four wickets going down for 45 and eight for 88. A valuable innings by Hebden pulled the side round, the ninth wicket adding 41 and the tenth 47. Hirst took seven wickets for 95 runs and, in dismissing Hendren, obtained his 100th of the season : he had previously scored over 1,000 runs. It will be seen that during the innings Hunter allowed only two byes and made six catches. In the last two hours of the day Yorkshire made 83 for four wickets. For this total they were much indebted to the steadiness of Rhodes, who carried out his bat for 41, and to Drake, who helped to put on 21 without loss at a critical time. There was some rain during the night and bowlers were busy on Tuesday in consequence. Rhodes was the first to leave, after batting 140 minutes for 49. With seven wickets down for 121 bad light stopped play for 20 minutes, and after resuming the last three wickets went down for 10, leaving the visitors with the useful lead of 45. Tarrant and Heame took four wickets each. Warner and Douglas gave Middlesex a fair start upon open­ ing the second innings, making 62 for the opening partnership in 70 minutes. Eleven later, when the light was very bad, Hendren was bowled, and at 92 Warner, after batting 100 minutes, was caught at slip. Tarrant and Robertson, playing freely, added 50 in 45 minutes, and a score well over 200 seemed in prospect. Drake, however, finished the innings in sensational style, dismissing Tarrant, Trott, Mignon and Hearne with the first, third, fifth, and sixth balls of an over at a cost of a single. In the last 10 minutes of the day Yorkshire made 5 of the 227 runs required without loss. Play was impossible on Wednesday owing to the weather, and the game was drawn.

W. S U R R E Y v. K E N T . Played at tbe Oval on August 1(5, 17 and 18. 141 FO R TIIE LA ST W IC K E T. Kent won by nine wickets. With Hayward and Rushby away Surrey were not at full strength, but Kent were without Dillon and, in his absence, a trial was given to Jennings, who has been scoring heavily for Mote Park and Kent Club and Ground. Surrey won the toss and made a very poor start against Fielder and Carr, Hobbs being sent back at 12 and Hayes, Marshal and Ducat being dismissed in such quick succession that the fourth wicket went down at 35. Carr at that point had taken three wickets for 20 runs. Bird faced the “ googlies ” with eonfidence and hit so successfully that Carr was taken off: Davis stayed whilst 34 were added for the fifth wicket and Smith whilst 38 were put on for the sixth, Bird reached 50 in 80 minutes and a little later hit Fielder for 14 in an over. When the ninth wicket fell, at 159, he had made 69 and, with Strudwick in, hit very hard in an endeavour to reach his hundred. In that, how­ ever, he just failed, being bowled when but 4 short of the number. By excellent cricket he had made 96 out of 162 in 125 minutes, scoring well all round the wicket and hitting eleven 4’s. His success was very popular. When Kent went in Seymour scored 22 of the first 31 runs and was then bowled, Day was lbw when he had made 4, and at 50 Humphreys was out to a fine catch at slip low down by Marshal. Hutchings and Woolley then added 65 together, and when play ceased four wickets were down for 131, Hutchings being 62 not out. On Tuesday Hutchings was bowled without increasing his score: he made his 62 in 70 minutes and hit nine 4’s. Jennings and Huish gave no trouble, but Carr, defending strongly, stayed with Mason whilst 56 were added for the eighth wicket, giving Kent the lead. When Fielder left, nine wickets were down for 214 and Mason’s score stood at 45. With Blythe in the latter hit in splendid fashion: he took 50 minutes to score 7, but made his half-century in 100 minutes and three figures—for the third time running—in 125 : in all, he made 152 out of 240 in 165 minutes, his last 100 being obtained in 65 minutes. The stand for the tenth wicket lasted 70 minutes and realised 141, of which number Mason made 107 and Blythe 29. Mason made strokes all round the wicket, but was especially strong in driving. When 5 he was almost caught at point by Davis and at 107 was missed by Hayes at slip. He hit a 5 and twenty-four 4’s. Surrey, 164 behind, lost Hobbs at 25 and Marshal a run later. Bird and Hayes made a stand and had put on 62 without further loss when rain put an end to the day’s play. After 14 hours’ continuous rain it was found impossible to resume play until a quarter past three yesterday. Bird was out without a run added, but Hayes and Ducat added 52 in 50 minutes by plucky cricket on a wicket which helped the attack. Hayes batted 110 minutes for his most valuable 61, and hit eight 4’s in his excellent innings. Of the others only Smith (10) reached double figures and Kent pulled off the match by nine wickets.
