J u l y 2 1 , l g i c . CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. MIDDLESEX v. LANCASHIRE. Played at Lord’s on July 18, 19 and 20. Drawn. Heavy rain in the early part of Monday caused the commencement of this match to be delayed until after four o’clock, and then the conditions which prevailed were so cheerless that the players per­ formed before almost empty benches. Tyldesley played a splendid innings on the slow wicket, and when stumps were drawn for the day with two wickets down for 138 carried out his bat for 84. He went in when Spooner was caught, with only 9 scored, and played with confidence from the start. With Hartley he put on 35 and with Sharp 94 without further loss. Hearne (J. T.), Mignon, * Crutchley, Tarrant and Hearne (J. W.) all bowled in turn, but a separation could not be effected. On Tuesday the game went in favour of the visitors, who at the end of the day were 101 runs on with all their wickets in hand. Lancashire took their total to 248, thanks chiefly to Tyldesley (J. T.), who con­ tinued to bat excellently. Sixth out (at 216), he made his 132 out of 207 in 220 minutes without a mistake of any kind, and hit eleven 4’s. Driving was a feature of his admirable display. Sharp also was seen to advantage in making 52 and helped to add 127 in two hours and a-quarter for the third wicket. Middlesex were dismissed in three hours and a-quarter for 178, Dean and Cook obtaining the majority of the wickets. Crutchley and Tarrant obtained 31 for the opening partnership, but the only other stand of much note was by Warner and Robertson, who added 39 for the fifth wicket. In the last 40 minutes of the day Lancashire, going in again, made 31 without loss. Yesterday Spooner was bowled at 49 after batting 65 minutes for 14. The association of Tyldesley (J. T.) and Hartley was productive of some bright cricket, the pair adding 100 in an hour and, in all, 109 in 70 minutes. Hartley completed his thousand runs for the season, and, like his partner, obtained his score by chance- less play. Three more wickets fell owing to the batsmen forcing the pace, and at lunch-time the innings was closed, leaving Middlesex with 306 to win in three hours and three-quarters. With only 9 scored Crutchlej' was run out by some smart work by Dean and Worsley, and although Tarrant and Hendren added 41 half the side were out for 70. Warner batted very patiently, centring all his efforts on keeping up his wicket, bnt despite his strong defence—he took 40 minutes to score 4— seven men were out for 91. In Murrell he found a most useful partner, and 32 were added ere the fielding side met with further success. Soon after Hearne (J. T ) had gone in rain commenced to fall and caused the game to be abandoned, altogether in favour of Lancashire. The side owed a very great deal to Warner, for without his display Middlesex would undoubtedly have been beaten. Score and analysis:— L a n cash ire . First innings. Second innings. R.

Harry Dewse, at one time a well-knowu Yorkshire cricketer, died at York on the 8th inst. in his seventy-fifth year. He was born at York on February *23rd, 1836, his fath< r being a Proctor of the Ecclesiastical Court of York, which office has long beeu obsolete. For many years the deceised was landlord of the Cricketers’ Arms, Toft Green, in the tenancy of which he succeeded another Ycrkf-hire player, liichard Letby. Devvse played for Malton for fourteen years, occa- tionally against the All England Eleven, and (during his residence in Newcastle) for Noithumberland. He was a most useful all-round cricketer, with wicket-keeping as his forte. For Tynemouth v. Chester-le- Street on August 10th, 18(31, he took all ten wickets in an innings, and for the late Lord Londesborough’s Yorkshire team v. Hamp­ shire in September, 1875, bowled 33 balls for nine runs and five wickets. He took part, and with success, in many single­ wicket matches, and after his active career umpired for several years for York and the Yorkshire Gentlemen. M r . H. L u f f . It is with much regret that we announce the death on Monday last of Mr. Henry (‘ Harry” ) Luff, proprietor of Wisden’s Cricketers' Almanack and of the well-known firm of Messrs. John Wisden & Co., of Cranbourn Street. Born at Petersfield, in Hampshire, on January 26th, 1856, Mr. Luff was in his fifty-fifth year at the time of his death. For some time past his health had teen precarious, and although he benefited to some extent by a visit to Aus­ tralia during 1907-8 the improvement was only temporary, and last year he suffered another breakdown which proved to be the beginning of the end. For many years he acted as secretary of the Cricketers’ Fund Friendly Society, and only within the last fortnight did he resign the position. A kind-hearted and genial man, he will be much missed by those who knew him. Mr. J. B. O a k le y . Mr. James B. Oakley died at Carlton House, Barnes, on Friday last in his seventy- first year. He was a member of the Com­ mittee of the Surrey County C.C. from 1883 until 1909. LUDGROVE v. NORTH AW PLACE.-Played at Ludgrove, New Barnet, on July 16. L udorove . R. M.
