2 5 2 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y 7 , 1 9 1 0 . it would be advisable to endeavour to get a strong side together if the financial and cricket aspects are to go hand-in-hand. I have no doubt that, whatever side comes, many of the best would be included. Australia dearly wants to see Vogler, Faulkner, White, Snooke, Sher- weil, Nourse and Zulch in the side in any case.” D u r in g the present season seventy- seven individual scores o f 100 or more have been made in first-class matches, the highest being A. Hartley's 234 against Somerset. Tyldesley remains the only cricketer who has obtained two separate hundreds in a match—a feat he performed last month at the expense of Hampshire at Old Trafford. H e a r ty congratulations are due to Derbyshire on beating Leicestershire on Tuesday, for thewin was the first obtained by the side this season. Somerset is now the only county which has not won a single game this year, but, cricket being the extraordinary game it is, there is always the possibility that victory may crown their efforts. At the present time Somerset are beyond doubt the weakest side taking part in the Championship competition, and every true lover of the game would rejoice if success on their part had to be chronicled. It must be disheartening to those who play for the County at all regularly to be invariably bn the losing side, and it would be most regrettable if, as it has been stated may well happen, it should be found necessary to dissolve the club. A n o t h e r record! R. F. Worthington, playing for Beerscliot C.C. against Anglo- Beige B. in a Championship match in Brussels on the 3rd inst., scored 139 not out— the highest individual innings ever played in Belgium. The conditions, I am told, were all in favour of run- getting. CRICKET IN AMER ICA . MONTPELIER v. GASTON HALL.—Played at Montpelier, Va., on Juno 18 and won by Gaston Hall by 2 runs.

Played at Bradford on July 4 and 5. Yorkshire won by five wickets. On a wicket which assisted the bowlers to no small extent—during the day twenty-one wickets went down for 272 runs —Surrey had all the best of Monday’s play, being 94 runs on with nine wickets down when stumps were drawn. It was an advantage to win the toss, for the ground was easier earlier in the day than it was later, but the visitors nevertheless did well to score 107 for five wickets before lunch, particularly as Hayward was out in the first over and four wickets were down for 51. A t that point Wilkinson partnered Ducat, and in the course of an hour the pair added 56 runs. Ducat played a sound and watchful game, and during the hour and a-quarter that he was in did not make a mistake. Abel and Davis afterwards reached double-figures, and the total reached 158, made in two hours and three quarters. Rhodes took the last five wickets in 50 minutes for 17 runs. In a couple of hours the home side were sent back for 89. To a great extent the state of the wicket was responsible for the small total, but the bowling was true and it always seemed difficult to get the ball away. They had three wickets down for 15, and half the side were out for 35. Turner stayed in 40 minutes for four runs, and Myers batted almost an hour for 8. Myers and Drake added 25 together, and Booth afterwards made a few good hits. In the last 20 minutes of the day Surrey, going in the second time, scored 25 for the loss of Hayward, who was lbw at 5. On Tuesday the condition of the wicket was about the same as on Monday, and disasters soon began to happen. Hayes and Bird fell to Rhodes to consecutive balls, and with the total 31 Ducat also should have been sent back—by a catch at slip before scoring. The player named survived to help add 41 for the fourth wicket. After he had been run out the remaining six wickets fell for 15, Rhodes and Hirst being almost unplayable. Hobbs batted skilfully for an hour and a-quarter for 45. Yorkshire were set 157 to win, and Rhodes and Bates almost put the result beyond doubt by scoring 77 for the first wicket in 35 minutes. Denton and Turner left at 113 and Hirst at 131. When only three runs were required Myers was caught. Rhodes batted 100 minutes for his excellent 88, in which were two 6’s and eight 4’s.

Lancashire won by an innings and 129 runs. A start could not be made with this match on Monday until half-past twelve, owing to the satura­ ted state of the wicket after rain, and then Lancashire, fortunate to win the toss, batted first on a pitch which was too soft to give the bowlers much assistance. After Hartley had been caught at the wicket for a single, Spooner and Tyldesley (J. T.) added 79 together in 45 minutes, and later Tyldesley (E.) and Heap put on 51 in 25 minutes. All the players mentioned forced the game, and found the policy a good one. Tyldesley (E.) showed the best cricket of the day in making 66 out of 121 in 100 minutes without a mistake of any k in d: he hit a 6 and nine 4’s. In the last 75 minutes of the day Worcestershire lost nine wickets for 43 runs, nobody being ab'e to do anything with Dean and Huddle­ ston. For tlicir collapse, the visitors were themselves largely responsible, for their batting was weak. On the second morning the innings closed for 48, and in the follow-on a display almost as disappointing was given. The match was a triumph for Dean and Huddleston, who bowled unchanged together throughout the match. The pitch became extremely difficult as it dried, and the result was always a foregone conclusion.

William Collins, Sons & Co., Limited, of London and Glasgow, half-a-dozen specimens of their score-books. These are of different sizes, varying from “ The H andy” score-book (5 inches by 3|) to “ The Un­ rivalled ” (12 inches by 10). Each contains the Laws of Cricket and a slip with all the first-class fixtures for the season. A most convenient sized book is that called “ The Marylebone ” (7j| inches by 4^), which will slip comfortably into the coat pocket and con­ tains space for 55 innings. Furthermore it is attractively bound and is gilt lettered and costs only is. The prices of “ The Unrivalled ” vary according to the binding and the number of pages, from 6d. to 4s. The latter sum will obtain a quarter-bound volume, cloth sides, with room for 300 innings.
