Cricket 1910

J u n e 30, 1910 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 237 YOBKSHIRE v. WORCESTERSHIRE. Played at Leeds on June 27 and 28. Yorkshire won by 109 runs. In rather depressing weather a great deal of pro­ gress was made in this game on Monday, seventeen wickets going down for 295 runs, leaving the visitors 93 runs behind with three wickets in hand. Owing to Mr. B. 8. Foster’s wedding yesterday none of the famous brotherhood was present, and Simpson- Hayward also was an absentee. Rhodes made 41 out of 115 in 105 minutes and was well assisted by Rothery, who, after a run of small scores, helped to add 71 for the third wicket. Myers afterwards played a capital innings of 30, and Haigh made a lew good hits in scoring 25. Worcestershire com­ menced in promising fashion, 34 being made for the first wicket and 50 going up with only one man out, but in the next 80 minutes tix wickets went down before Rhodes and Haigh for 51, and at the end of the day the home side held a distinct advantage. On Tuesday the innings closed for 139, leaving Yorkshire with a lead of 55. During the innings Haigh took six wickets for 30 runs. The wicket was entirely in favour of the attack, as Yorkshire found upon going in, for, by the time the total had reached 17, Rhodes, Denton, Bates and Drake had all been sent back. Hirst and Myers came together at that critical siage and in 45 minutes added 41, but, although Haigh again made a useful score, the innings closed for 104, leaving Worcestershire 100 to win. It never seemed as though the runs would be made, for the wicket had gradually been becom­ ing more difficult;. Half the side were out for 32, and the seventh wicket fell at the same total. The last three men added 18 and Yorkshire won as stated. In the whole match Haigh took nine wickets for 38. Score and analysis :— Y o r k sh ir e . First innings.

On a run-getting wicket on Monday 495 runs were made, runs coming at a very good pace throughout the day. Tufnell, doing much better than ever before in a match of note, scored 102 out of 210 in an hour and three-quarters before lunch ; he hit four­ teen 4’s, gave no chance, and with Kidd put on 103 for the becond wicket in 55 minutes. Collins also wai seen to advantage, and after batting for an hour and a-half carried out his bat for 72 ; with Hughes he put on 60 for the seventh wicket and with Cowie 65 for the last in 20 minutes. In the last 90 minutes of the day Leveson-Gower’s XI. lost half their wickets for 115: as a matter of fact half the side were out for 51, and it was a plucky stand by Troughton and Smith which effected an improve­ ment. On the second morning the innings closed for 163, notwithstanding that four catches were dropped—three of them off Iloiloway. In the follow-on a great improvement was seen, although both Chinnery and Troughton were out for 10. Scott and Hurst, by adding 81, caused the tide to turn, and their good example was followed by Law­ ton and Hurst, who put on 102 for the fifth wicket, and by Druce and Smith, who added 110 for the sixth. Lawton, in a characteristic innings, made 73 in an hour without a chance, and Smith, the highest scorer for the side, hit eleven 4’s during the two hours he was in. Play ended for the day when the last wicket fell, leaving the University 1 86 to win. On Wednesday Cambridge played delightful cricket and made the runs for four wickets. Falcon and Ireland, who opened the innings, made 34 in fivo overs off Crawlord. The former drove brilliantly and was caught when the game was a tie ; he hit eighteen 4’s.

Played at Nottingham on June 27 and 28. Notts won by an innings and 125 runs. The home side kept Lancashire, who were cap­ tained by Tyldesley'J. T.), in the field the whole of Monday whilst they scored 403, but for their large total poor fielding and weak bowling were largely responsible. For some time an even larger total seemed likely, for 363 were on the board with only fivo wickets down, but Whitehead took all the remaining five for 21 runs, and the innings closed for the total mentioned. Jones showed the best cricket of the d a y : he made 121 out of 203 in 165 minutes, offering only one chance—when 106— and hitting thirteen 4’s, the majority of them brilliant strokes on the off-side. George Gunn helped him to put on 63 and Payton 98. After his dismissal the last-named and John Gunn added 113 in 90 minutes for the fifth wicket. Payton was very fortunate in the early part of his innings—he was let off when 0, 27 and 30—but Gunn (J.) played fine cricket and just missed his hundred. The former hit fourteen 4’s aud the latter a 6 and eleven 4’s. There was a lot of rain during Monday night, and, as it was followed by sunshine, the lot of the visitors was far from being an enviable one. To such an extent did the bowlers hold the whip hand that only two players reached double-figures, Tyldesley (J. T.) scoring 77 and Makepeace carrying out his bat for 23. The former has played many a fine innings in his time, but probably never a more timely or a better one than on Tuesday morning. He overcame difficulties iu wonderful fashion and actually made his 77 out of 88 in an hour: his chief strokes were a 6 and nine 4’s. Following-on, Lancashire gave a better account of themselves, for the wicket had been improving. In 25 minutes Haitley and Makepeace made 41 for the first wicket, and, after the latter had been caught, the former and Tyldesley (J. T.), who was caught brilliantly at mid-off by Jones, added 44 for the second. The improvement continued until Wass resumed at 112. He got rid of Sharp at 131, and then bowled with such effect that he brought the innings to a close for 118. In his last spell he sent down nine overs for six wickets and 20 runs, and in the match took thirteen for 119. Clifton also bowled well, though not with such success as in the first innings.

Whilst playing against Worcestershire at Leeds on Tuesday Rothery split his hand between the third and fourth fingers, and it is probable that he will not be seen in the Yorkshire side again for three weeks.
