I 32 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M ay 19, *910. M.C.C. AND GROUND v. YORKSHIRE. Played at Lord’s on May 12 and 13. Yorkshire won by 63 rnns. Some even play was seen on the first day of this match, the County scoring 216 and the Club reply­ ing with 94 for three wickets. The ground was in very fair condition, but for their total Yorkshire were indebted largely to two partnerships, Rhodes and Drake putting on 64 in 55 minutes after two wickets had fallen for 21, and the latter and Hirst adding 41 together for the fourth. Rhodes played a very good innings and made his 47 out of 85 in an hour and a-quarter. Drake, missed when 7 by Relf (A. E.), took 100 minutes to make 39, whereas Rothery, by bright methods, obtained his 40 in an hour. When the M.C.C. went in Warner batted steadily, taking 80 minutes to make 38, but his display was not tedious. He was ably seconded by Tarrant, who, missed by Drake when 33, carried out his bat for 39 when stumps were drawn. On the following morning Rhodes and Haigh proved difficult, and, bowling unchanged on a wicket to their liking, got the remaining seven wickets down for 63. Tarrant took his score to 51, for which he was in 85 minutes, and MacLaren, Veal and Luther made a few good hits, but no one else did much, and the home side were 59 behind on the innings. Going in the second time, Yorkshire found Thomp­ son and Buckenham difficult to play and were dismissed for 100, only four players reaching double figures and the highest score being 23 by Wilson. The M.C.C. never appeared likely to make the 160 set them tq win. Without a run scored Relf was bowled, at 6 Tarrant was caught at mid-off, Warner was bowled at 12, Braund run out at 15, and Douglas and MacLaren caught at mid-off at 19 and 25 respectively. A total of 50 appeared unlikely, but the tail did better than the early batsmen and, ten minutes after the time arranged for drawing stumps, the last wicket fell at 96, leaving Yorkshire successful by 63 runs. Thompson and Veal put on 18 together for the seventh wicket in 35 minutes and Luther and Buckenham 39 for the ninth in similar time. Score and analysis:— Y orkshire . First innings.

DERBYSHIRE v. LANCASHIRE. Tlayed at GIossop on May 12, 13 and 14. Lancashire won by 128 runs. Neither side was at full strength for this match, Lancashire lacking Brearley and Derbyshire being without Chapman, who had damaged his leg. Owing to heavy rain no play was possible on the first day until 3 o’clock, and then Lancashire, fortunate to win the toss, went in. Hornby hit freely and well and, owing chiefly to him, 45 were made for the first wicket. He himself was second out, at 56, for 39 made in 40 m inutes: he made two 6’s off Morton and was twice missed. Tyldesley, let off when 11 at mid off—a hard chance—scored 75 in 95 minutes, obtaining his last 25 in 10. He also punished Morton for two 6’s and, besides, hit five 4’s. Cadman was most effective at the finish, taking the last four wickets whilst only a single was made off him. . When Derbyshire had lost Humphries ere a run had been made play ended for the day. On Friday the ground was all against batting and Huddleston enjoyed a great triumph. Only Cadman of the early players reached double­ figures and half the side were out for 22. WTarren, Oliver and Cooper*hit out—the last-named made 14 off an over from Huddleston—but the innings, after lasting 110 minutes, closed for 77. Huddleston took eight wickets for less than four runs each, at one period taking six for 10. Lancashire also gave a moderate display, and in two hours and ten minutes were dismissed for 117. Tyldesley was again seen to advantage, and Sharp helped him to add 50 for the third wicket in 45 minutes. Warren, owing to a sprained thigh, was unable to bowl. Set 224 to win, Derbyshire lost three wickets for 28 runs in the last 50 minutes of play, and were therefore in an almost hopeless position. During the day twenty-two wickets fell for 212 runs. On Saturday half the side were out for 62, and although Cadman batted soundly for an hour and a half the innings closed for 95, leaving Lancashire successful by the margin stated.

Oxford University won by eight wickets. On a wicket rendered somewhat difficult by sun after rain, eighteen wickets went down on Thursday for 277 runs in ten minutes under five hours. Altham, owing to a damaged hand, could not play for Oxford, for whom Twining made his first appear­ ance. By bright cricket Dillon obtained 30 of the first 44 runs, but the most attractive play during the day was by Hutchings, who scored 53 out of 101 in 85 minutes. The latter hit a 6 and four 4’s but, though driving well, was not seen at his best, his tim ing being occasionally at fault. Woolley helped him to add 57 in 40 minutes, but against Le Couteur, who went on at 130 and took five wickets for 24, the last seven wickets went down for 30 in 40 minutes. The University also found run-getting no easy matter, and iu the last 110 minutes of the day lost eight wickets for 95 runs. The only stand of any note was by Cartwright and Lagden (24 not out) who added 34 together for the seventh wicket. On Friday the latter played an excellent game for his side, hitting freely and well on a wicket which gave the bowlers some assistance owing to some of the rain having blown from the canvas coveringon to the pitch. He obtained the majority of the runs added and, in all, scored 68 in 80 minutes and carried out his b a t: he hit three 6’s and six 4’s, and, apart from a very hard chance to Woolley when 60, made no mistake. Kent’s lead was limited to 20, and so badly did they fare in their second innings that Dillon and Humphreys were out ere a run had been made, and at lunch time four wickets were down for 27. Le Couteur was again well in evidence, and made his record for the match ten wickets for 42. The Kent batting failed so completely that the whole side were dismissed for 70. The University mado light of their task and won by eight wickets. Evans and Salter made 71 together in 50 minutes, but whereas the latter played a sound innings and made some fine on-drives, Evans was uncertain in his timing. Score and analysis K ent .
