124 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M ay 12, 1910. SU S S E X COUNTY CRICKET. A 20,000 SHILLINGS FUND. The following circular has been issued on behalf of the Sussex County Cricket Club:— County Ground, Hove. 2nl May, 1910. Dear Sir (or Madam), You are probably awara that at the close of last season our County Club was, and unfortunately still remains, in debt to the extent of just over one thousand pounds. The Committee, although confident that the Club will in the future be able to meet its annual expenses, thauks to tbe great interest now being taken in county matches at Eastbourne, Hastings, Chichester and Horsham as well Ms in those at Brighton, cousi Iera, however, that there is no imme­ diate prospect of reducing the above debt, and ihey have therefore come to the con­ clusion that an effort should be made this season to free the club from this liabitity. Twenty thousand shillings will put the club on a sound and satisfactory basis. With this object in view the Committee earnestly appeal to the members and also to all cricket clubs aud schools in the county, as well as to the public generally, to assist them in their endeavours to raise this sum. A shilling fund appeals to every class, and gives an opportunity to one and all to assist their county. The Committee venture to think that the public generally appreciate the efforts that are being made to raise young Sussex men for the county by means of the nursery, in order that the team may be composed of purely Sussex rneu. This nursery is working most satisfactorily, and it is only the crushing debt on the general fund alone that weighs the county club down. It is sincerely hoped that you will be able to give this proposal your hearty and cordial support, and if so, will you be kind enough to send any donation to Mr. G. S. Godfree, juur., 13, Pavilion Parade, Brighton, who is acting as hon. secretary of this fund. Believe me, Yours faithfully, ARTHUR C. ODDIE, Chairman of Committee.

SUSSEX. Played at Derby on May 9 and 10. Sussex won by eight wickets. On a slow wicket on Monday Derbyshire gave a disappointing display, being dismissed for 00 and taking two hours and 35 minutes to make the runs. Cadman made 32 out of 52 in an hour and a-half, but only Chapman and Handford of the others reached double figures. The last-named acted 011 the defensive for an hour and carried out his bat for 16. Sussex lost a couple of men for 22, but Relf, by scoring 40 out of (33 in an hour, prevented any likelihood of a collapse: he made his runs well 011 both sides of the wicket and was out to a fine one- handed catch at slip. Sussex, despite some very useful bowling by Warren, led by 86 on the first iunings, and when Derbyshire lost Cadman, Needham and Oliver for 22 upon going in again, it seemed as though the match might be decided in an innings. Chapman, who was lame and engaged the services of a runner, played a plucky game, however, and was well supported by Handford, who again defended well. But Sussex were set only 67 to win, a number they obtained for the loss of the younger Relf and Vine. Score and analysis D erbyshire . First innings.

Played at Cambridge on May 9, 10 and 11. Essex won by an innings and 89 runs. On the occasion of their first appearance at Cambridge, Essex did particularly well and out­ played the University at all points. Owing to the state of the ground after rain, play did not com ­ mence on the first day until one o’clock, when the county, having won the toss, went in on a slow and easy wicket. McGahey left at 19 and Freeman at 24, Lockhart taking both wickcts. There the success of the home side ceased, for Perrin and Gillingham, who then came together, could not be parted and when stumps were drawn carried out their bat, the former for 112 and the latter for 126. By faultless, but not very exhilarating, cricket they put on 246 in partnership, and were still together when play ended for the day with two wickcts down for 270. Perrin reached his hundred in three hours and twenty minutes, and Gillingham his in exactly three hours. A feature of the cricket was the fielding, which was always good and at times brilliant. On Tuesday it was not long before the stand was broken, both men being dismissed in quick succession about half an-hour after play had been resumed. Together they put on 291 runs for the third wicket in four hours. Gillingham hit eighteen 4’s and Perrin thirteen. Wickets afterwards fell rather quickly, and when K. Gibson was stumped, at 353, the innings was declared, this being the first occasion on which the new rule, which enables a side to adopt the closure before lunch-time 011 the second day, has been taken advantage of. The University lost Bache in tho first over, and were always struggling for runs. Nason ran himself out at 26 and at 35 Collins was caught at the wicket. Then followed a marked collapse, and it was left for some hitting on the part of the tail to take the total to 118. Buckenham was chiefly responsible for the small score, his six wickets costing only a fraction over nine runs each. In the follow-on Cambridge did better, making 70 for three wickets, but 165 runs were still wanted to save the innings defeat when play recommenced yesterday. On the third day the University again did poorly and sustained a heavy reverse. Score aud analysis:— E ssex . Buckenham, c Hollo­ way,bWindsor-Clive 6 A. L. Gibson, not out 22 K.
