S e pt . 2, igog. CR ICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 373 W O R C E S T E R S H IR E v. S U R R E Y . Played at Worcester on August 26, 27 & 28. b o w l e y ’ s b e n e f i t . Surrey won by six wickets. Winning the toss, Surrey batted the whole of the first day, scoring 328 for nine wickets. Hobbs and Hayward, by very bright cricket, made 89 for the first wicket in an hour, and the latter and Hayes 76 for the second in 70 minutes. Neither Hobbs nor Hayward gave a chance, and the former hit ten 4’s and the latter nine. Hayes, in scoring 57 out of 11(5 in 100 minutes, completed his 2,000 runs for the season, being the first batsman to do so this year ; he hit eight 4’s and added 40 for the third wicket with Marshal. The last-named played an unenterprising game, taking two hours and ten minutes to make 00 ; he was eighth out, at 320. Continuing the innings on Friday, Lees and Rushby, playing free cricket and aided by several overthrows, put on 87 in 55 minutes for the last wicket. Of that number Rushby made 58: he hit a 5 and seven 4’s. Going in against a total of 415, Worcestershire made a lamentable start, H. K. Foster and Bowley being out at one, Arnold and Pearson at 17, and Cuffc at 30. Burns played a great game, however, but nine men were out for 91 and it was onljTa last-wicket stand of 49 with Bale that caused the total to reach 140. Burns made 89 out of 123 in 115 minutes, and hit a 5 and fourteen 4’s. Following-on, 275 behind, l’earson was out to the first ball bowled and, although Arnold and Bowley put on 91 together, three wickets were down for 108 when stumps were drawn. On the third morning Cuffe and H. K. Foster added 74 for the fourth wicket, and the latter and M. K. Foster 84 for the sixth. “ H.K.” played excellent cricket for 135 minutes and hit thirteen 4’s. Simpson-Hayward made a useful score, but Surrey were set only 26 to win, in scoring which, however, they lost four wickets. Score and analysis :— S u r r e y .

Played at Ley'ton on August 26, 27 and 28. Yorkshire won by 151 runs. Runs were so hard to make 011 the first day of this match that in four hours and a-half thirteen wickets fell for 183 runs. Yorkshire were given a good start by Wilson and Rhodes, who made 40 together in 45 minutes ere the latter played-on. Denton, however, scored only 2, and at 63 Wilson was well caught in the long-field after batting an hour and a-quarter for 29. Rothery, badly missed at long-on by Russell (A. C.) when 19, helped Hirst to put on 34, and with Drake and Lord Hawke also making useful scores the total reached 155. Reeves took seven wickets for 79 and deserved his success. In the last hour of the day Essex lost three wickets for 28, Fane leaving at 10, Reeves a run later, and Douglas at 15. Haigh obtained all three wickets for 11 runs. By the first ball bowled 011 Friday Gillingham was sent back, and the position of Essex was desperate. The stand of McGahey and Carpenter, however, effected an improvement. Whilst the former played carefully the latter took risks, and it was not until they had added 60 in 55 minutes that a separation was effected, Carpenter then being caught at slip for a valuable 41 which contained five 4’s. After his departure the end soon came, the five last wickets going down for 26. McGahey, missed when 15 by Denton in the long-field, batted 110 minutes for 49. Haigh took six wickets for 56 and bowled really well. Leading by 41, Yorkshire opened their second innings with Rhodes and Wilson and only 23 had been made when the latter received a blow on his left knee which caused his retirement. Rhodes played a very steady game, but Denton hit freely and well. The former was third out, at 86, and four later Hirst was caught at the wicket. At that point Wilson re-appeared and played aggressive cricket, among his strokes being three 4’s off Buckenham. The tail men did well and eventually Essex were set 256 to win with a whole day before them. As was generally expected, the task proved far too heavy, Yorkshire winning by 151 runs. The wicket was more difficult than at any previous period of the match, and the bowlers were always master of the situation. Fane, the only player to make much resistance, scored 46 out of 90 in 110 minutes, play­ ing a very good game. Score and analysis :— Y o r k s h ir e .

L E IC E S T E R S H IR E . Played at Dover on August 26, 27 and 28. T H E D O V E R W E E K . Kent won hy an innings and 10 runs. Showers during the morning prevented the wicket from recovering after the heavy rainfall of the previous days, and in consequence play was im­ possible on Thursday. Despite the fact that they batted first on an easy wicket on Friday—it was thought an advantage to win the toss—Leicester­ shire were dismissed for 69, although Wood and Knight scored 29 for the opening partnership. Blythe and Carr carried all before them, and the former, in dismissing Thompson, obtained his 200th wicket of the season. Kent showed that the low scoring could not be attributed to the wicket, Humphreys and A. P. Day making 62 for the first wicket, and the latter and his brother adding 41 for the second. A. P. Day, third out, scored 56out of 112 in an hour and a-half; he made some fine strokes to the off and leg, but was credited with only two 4’s. There was no other innings of outstanding note, but Kent’s lead amounted to 124. During the last 20 minutes of the day the home side strengthened their position by getting a couple of Leicestershire wickets down for 13. On Saturday the remaining eight were taken by Blythe and Carr for 101 runs, leaving Kent successful by the margin stated. King made only sixteen singles during the first 105 minutes he was in, but afterwards hit a 2 and four 4’s in taking his score to 40. Blythe took eleven wickets in the match for 63 ruus.
