Cricket 1910

CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g u s t 4, 1910. GLOUCESTERSHIRE v. SOMERSET. Played at Bristol on August 1, 2 and 3. Drawn. On Monday 369 runs were made in this match and twenty batsmen were dismissed, Somerset, when play ceased: being one run behind with all their wickets in hand. For the visitors Poyntz and Samson put on 60 after six wickets had fallen for 77, but the latter, who hit a 6 and six 4’s, was missed three times during the 100 minutes he was in. Gloucestershire had three wickets down for 9 runs when Jessop went in and pulled the game round. He made 50 in 40 minutes, and, without giving a chance, made 103 out of 150 in an hour and a-quarter before being out to a magnificent catch on the boundary. Making several vigorous leg-hits and pulls, he scored off 47 of the 74 balls he received and hit a 6 , a 5 and ten 4’s. Mills and F. B. Roberts were the only other players who reached double- figures in the innings. Rain restricted Tuesday’s play to 75 minutes, during which Somerset increased their score from 15 to 87 and lost four wickets. The best feature of the little play seen was the manner in which Board gathered a ball rather wide on the leg side and stumped Braund. Yesterday, owing to heavy rain, the game was abandoned without another ball Leing bowled. Score and analysis:— S omerset . First innings.

Sir Charles Hardinge, the old Harrovian cricketer and Viceroy-Elect of India, has taken as his title Baron Hardinge of Penshurst in the County of Kent. LANCASHIRE v. YORKSHIRE. Played at Manchester on August 1, 2 and 3. sh a r p ’ s b e n e f it . Lancashire won by an innings and 111 runs. After some rain during Sunday night this match was opened on a wicket which gave the bowlers some assistance. Runs were very hard to obtain, and during the first day only 248 were made for twelve wickets. The attendance numbered 23,838 and a collection on the ground realised £70 16s. Yorkshire, still without Denton, had first innings, and in just over two hours were dismissed for 103. Three wickets were down for 7, and half the side were out for 34. Only Hirst showed any ability to cope with the attack, and he played very skilfully for 100 minutes : though defending very strongly, he hit eight 4’s. Brearley, who made a most welcome re-appearanoe, and Dean bowled very well. Lancashire lost Hartley before he had scored, but, aided by fortune, Spooner and Tyldesley (J. T.) put on 62 for the second wicket in an hour. Each of the latter was twice missed, and, after Tyldesley had been bowled, Sharp and Spooner added 70 together without being parted, two wickets being down for 145 at the end of the day (Spooner 66 not out). The weather was dull when the game wras continued on Tuesday. The pair mentioned stayed together until their stand for the third wicket had realised 99 in 105 minutes. Sharp, who made some fine drives, was then dismissed for 51. Spooner reached three-figures in three hours and three-quarters, and added 63 with Makepeace and 34 with Heap. In Hornby he found a brilliant partner, the pair putting on 123 without being parted, and then, with Spooner reaching 200, the innings was declared with five wickets down. Spooner scored chiefly on the off-side, and although he was missed twice in making his first 14 runs he was seen at his best on Tuesday. During the 370 minutes he was in lie hit twenty-one 4’s. After the closure rain caused a delay until 5.30, and then Yorkshire, facing a deficit of 292, scored 32 without loss. During the day 11,157 persons paid for admission. Yesterday Rhodes and Wilson were together until 69, when both left. Bates left 2 later, Hirst at 95 and Booth at 119. Myers, mi>sed when 14, scored a valuable 33, and when the match wasalmost over—9wickets down for158—raincaused such a long delay that it seemed not unlikely that the game would be drawn. At length, however, it was found possible to continue, and Lancashire eventually won easily. During the three days 33,S74 persons passed through the turnstiles and Sharp is assured of a sum exceeding £2,000. Scoro and analysis:— Y orkshire . First innings. Rhodes, b Brearley .........
