212 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 2 3 , 1 9 1 0 . MIDDLESEX v. YORKSHIRE. Played at Lord’s on June 16, 17 and 18. A FINE FINISH. Yorkshire won by two wickets. As the result of some interesting cricket on Thurs­ day, Middlesex scored 240 in just under four hours and Yorkshire replied with 119 for two wickets. The bowling was always steady, and runs never came rapidly. The early play was marked by a faultless display by Warner, who made (50out of 90 in 105 minutes, making many fine strokes and hitting seven 4’s. Ilearne (J. W .) helped to put on 63 in 70 minutes, but the sixth wicket nevertheless fell at 150. Robertson and Murrell added 36 and More and Hearne (J. T.) helped to swell the total. The field­ ing was good throughout, and Hirst made two excellent catches. In the final 90 minutes of the day Yorkshire scored 119 for the loss of two wickets. After Rothery was out Denton and Rhodes put on 38 together and the latter and Wilkinson 73 without being parted. Altogether the stand for the third wicket realised 79, only six runs being added on the Friday. Rhodes hit nine 4’s during the 105 minutes he was in. Play was, for the most part, steady; Wilkinson batted 80 minutes for 31, Hirst 45 minutes for 15 and Myers 70 minutes for 23. Drake made a few vigorous hits, but Middlesex led by 9 on the innings. Hearne (J. T.) again bowled with success, and More obtained a rather curious analysis. In the last three hours and a-half of the day Middlesex made 220 for the loss of half their wickets, Tarrant, who went in first, being not out 107. Warner played a most useful innings of 41 and helped to make 90 in 75 minutes for the opening partnership, and Murrell stayed whilst 40 were added for the fifth. Tarrant fell to the first ball bowled on Saturday ; he played a very sound game, the only stroke to which any exception could be taken being a hard return to Haigh when 40. Rhodes took the last four wickets for 21 runs, and Yorkshire were set 331 to win. At lunch, when three wickets had fallen for 69, a win for Middlesex appeared probable, but Hirst and Denton changed the whole aspect of the game by adding 163 for the fourth wicket in two hours and a-half. Denton made his 95 in 17o minutes, hitting fifteen 4’s, but the chief honours belonged to Hirst, who batted three hours and three-quarters for 137 ; he hit fifteen 4’s, and offered only one chance—to a substitute fielding for Littel­ john when 119. He was out at 306, a-quarter of an hour before time. In their anxiety to obtain the remaining runs both Drake and Radcliffe were sent back. Haigh made the winning hit—a 2—off the fifth ball of what would in any case have been the last over of the m atch; had the stroke been properly fielded by Hearne (J. W.) it would have yielded only a single, and the :*amc might have ended in a tic. Score and analysis: — M iddlesex . First innings. Second innings. P. F.

Much interest naturally centred in this match, for exactly a week before Leicestershire had beaten Kent at Leicester by 111 runs. Play on the opening day favoured the home side, who made 132 for two wickets after going in against a total of 195. Fielder and Blythe, as usual, had most to do with the dis­ missal of Kent’s opponents, taking nine of the ten wickets. At one time it seemed likely that Leicester­ shire would not make as many as 195, for their fifth wicket fell at 86, despite the fact that Whitehead made 43 out of 74 in 100 minutes. Sharp, however, was in good form after an uneasy start and made his highest score for the county: he hit nine 4’s and made some ?ood strokes to leg. Kent lost Humphreys and Dillon for 52, after which Hutchings scored 54 of the next 80 runs in 45 minutes without further loss. Altogether the third wicket put on 163, of which number Hutchings claimed as many as 109 : during the 100 minutes he was in he hit sixteen 4’s but was missed twice—when 65 and 98. Seymour's play was much slower : his 82 were made out of 215 in three hours, but it was a sounder innings, being devoid of chance, though marked by some mis-hits. Huish played a valuable little innings, and Kent obtained a lead of 144. What hope Leicestershire had of making a good fight soon disappeared, four good wickets going down for 40 runs in 80 minutes. An innings defeat appeared in store, but Sharp again played a valuable game and, when stumps were drawn with seven wickets down for 151, carried out his bat for 39. Coe by free cricket scored 38 out of 54 in 45 minutes, and Hazlerigg managed to stay in for 40 minutes, but he was much favoured by fortune. At 158 Astill was bowled by a ball which broke a bail, and when the innings closed for 173 Sharp carried out his bat for 55—a score which took two hours and a-half to make and contained only one four. Kent made the few runs necessary without loss. Score and analysis:— L e ic e s t e r s h ir e . First innings. C. J. B.
