2 6 2 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y 1 4 , 1 9 1 0 . ETON v. H A R R O W . Played at Lord’s on July 8 and 9. A GREAT GAME. Eton won by 9 runs. One of the most remarkable games of any im ­ portance was that which commenced at Lord’s on Friday last between Eton and Harrow. Until late in the second afternoon the former’s position appeared to be hopeless, but as the result of some extraordinary cricket Harrow were beaten by 9 runs after a thrilling struggle. On the first day Harrow had, in difficult circumstances, scored 232 and after­ wards got down half the wickets of their opponents for 40 runs. On the second morning Eton were obliged to follow-on and when their’ ninth wicket fell, when they were only 4 runs on, a victory for Harrow by a large margin appeared to be almost a certainty. The last pair, however, Lister-Kaye and the Bon. J. N. Manners, gave a lot of trouble, adding 50 before the innings closed for 219. This left Harrow 55 runs to win - a task which appeared to be very easy, on paper. Fowler, however, bowled magnificently and, supported by excellent fielding, pulled off the game for Eton by the margin stated. Jameson, in first, was ninth out (at 32) after batting 50 minutes for 2, which he made after being in 40 minutes. The wickets during the last stage of the game fell thus :— 1 2, 3 4, 5, 6 7 8 9 10 21 20 29 32 45 Alexander and Graham added IS for the last wicket, and until the former was caught at slip there was always a chance for Harrow. The chief honours of the game were, of course, Fowler's. In addition to making the highest score in each innings of his side, he proved the most successful bowler in the ma4ch. His 64 was an aggressive innings, as one may gather from the fact that it included eight 4’s. a 3 and ten 2's. Wigan helped him to add 42 for the sixth wicket, and Boswell 57 for the seventh. But it was the batting of Manners and his stand for the last w icket with Lister-Kaye which made the Etonian victory possible. There was naturally a scene of much enthusiam at the finish.

Played at Gravesend on July 7, 8 and 9. THE HAT-TRICK RY RLYTHE. Kent won by six wickets. On Thursday the wicket, after heavy rain, was slow and the ball required a lot of forcing to get away. In the circumstances Derbyshire, with Blythe against them, did well to make 170 in three hours. Hooman, of Charterhouse and Oxford, made his first appearance for Kent. Needham and Morton scored 41 together for the first wicket, and Cadman, after hitting Woolley for 17 in an over, settled down to a steady game and took an hour and a-quarter to make 45. Lawton hit three 6’s in his 36 and with Forester put on 49 in 25 minutes for the seventh wicket. Lawton, Howcroft and Beet fell to Blythe in consecutive balls, and the innings closed for 1.70. Warren got rid of Dillon and Seymour for 9, and Hutchings was obliged to retire owing to a strained shoulder. Woolley was bowled by Warren at 29, after which Humphreys and Hooman put on 30 without further loss before bad light stopped play. Altogether their stand realised 107 for the fourth wicket. Hooman drove with great power, and a 6 and six 4’s were included in his hits, whilst Humphreys played very sound cricket for 170 minutes, giving no chance and making a 6 and nine 4’s. After the fall of the ninth wicket Blythe and Fielder added 33 in a-quarter of an hour, and Kent led by 77 on the innings. At the end of the short day’s play—the game did not re-commence on the Friday until after half-past two, owing to rain— Derbyshire made 17 without loss, and on Saturday Needham and Morton took the total to 57 (made in 80 minutes) before the first wicket fell. Needham was second out, at 70, after batting for an hour and a-half. Afterwards the bowlers obtained the upper hand, and the innings closed for 144. Left with 68 to win, Kent proved successful by six wickets. Score and analysis : — D erbyshire . First innings. Needham, b Fairservice ...
