Cricket 1910

334 CR ICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g u s t i i , 1910. GLOUCESTERSHIRE y. WORCESTER­ SHIRE. Played at Cheltenham on August 8, 9 and 10. THE CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL. Gloucestershire won by an innings and 63 runs. There had been some rain during Sunday night and on the following day the ground assisted the bowlers to some extent. During Monday sixteen wickets fell for 306 runs, the home side gaining a lead of 36 and having four wickets in hand. The visitors were all out in two hours and a-half for 135, the longest stand of the innings being only 28. Several catches were missed, at least four players offering chances which were unaccepted. Dennett kept a good length throughout the innings, and Brownlee, maintaining a fine pace, deserved an even better analysis than six for 84. Although Board and Haines made 37 together, Gloucestershire had four men out for 44, but the game was pulled round by Brownlee and F. B. Roberts, who added 59 in 28 minutes, and by the latter and Mills, who put on 55 without being parted. When stumps were drawn Roberts carried out his bat for 62. On the second day, thanks to F. B. Roberts, Gloucestershire ob­ tained a lead of 239 on the innings. Mills was bowled almost at once, but Cornelius and Parker helped to add 90 in 50 minutes and 104 in 55 respec­ tively. Roberts batted for three hours and 40 minutes, hit eighteen 4’s, and offered only one chance—when 112, behind the wicket. With arrears amounting to 239, Worcestershire made 101 for four wickets in the last 110 minutes of the day. Bowley and Foster made 51 for the first wicket, the former, who made some capital off-drives, playing very fine cricket. Yesterday the side went to pieces against Dennett and Parker, only Arnold, who was missed when 17 and batted 145 minutes, making much resistance. Score and analysis:— W ORCESTERSH1RE. First innings.

BAYLEY.—On August 4th, at The Lodge, Park- stone, Dorset, Sir Lyttelton Holyoake Bayley, late Judge of H.M.’s High Court of Judicature, Bombay, younger son of the late Sir John Edward George Bayley, Bart., aged 83, SHARP ’S B EN E F IT . 18,938 11,303 3,633 those who Including John Sharp will be the richer by about £2,000 as the result of his benefit match, Lancashire v. Yorkshire. The attendances on the three days were as follow :— Monday ........................... Tuesday Wednesday... These figures relate only to actually paid for admission, members, the number of persons visiting Old Trafford during the three days was about 42,905. The money taken at the gates during the match was about £1,500, and there was a collection realising £70, while a great number of collecting cards, books, promised donations, etc., have yet to reach the secretary, Mr. T. J. Matthews, who, no doubt, will be pleased to see these as early as is possible. It is interesting to note that Sharp has also had two benefits with the Everton F.C., which combined realised for him £800. Eemembering that all the time he has been playing cricket he has always been a highly- paid—and deservedly so—football player, and that for ten years at least he has received football wages in the summer; also that for years he has been a prosperous business man in the athletic outfitting way, one feels justified in saying that John Sharp can never regret the day he came to Lancashire. OTHER BIG BENEFITS. The record benefit, of course, belongs to George Hirst, the idol of the summer crowds of Yorkshire, who six years ago drew £3,703 2s. Od. Tyldesley’s full benefit was £3,105 15s. 9d. Hirst’s match actually drew 78,792 people who paid for admission. The Lancashire League, by the way, have forwarded a cheque for £5 towards Sharp’s benefit .—The Sporting Chronicle. HAMPSTEAD v. WEST HERTS. —Played at Watford on August 6. H a m ps te a d .

Played at Taunton on August 8, 9 and 10. Kent won by 47 runs. Kent, although without Dillon, A. P. Day and Blythe, had the best of Monday’s play, completing an innings for 311 and getting three Somerset wickets down for 56. F. H. Knott, of Tonbridge School, played his first match for the County, and Fairservice and Fielder re-appeared. The feature of the day’s play was the batting of Woolley, who, going in when three wickets were down for 106, made 102 out of 1G4 in an hour and a-half without a mistake. Driving with great power, he hit three 6's-one over the pavilion—and a dozen 4’s. With Hooman and Mason he added 87 and 72 respectively. In the last 70 minutes of the day Somerset made 56 for the loss of Greswell, Lewis and Robson. Thanks to Hardy, Samson and Johnson, Somerset came within 71 of their opponents’ total on Tuesday, their innings realising 240 in 3 hours 20minutes. Hardy was missed when 59 and Samson when 40, and it was not until they had put on 98 in 75minutes for the fourth wicket that they were parted. The former, driving well, made 91 out of 187 in 155 minutes and hit eleven 4’s. Carr took eight wickets for under eleven runs each—very good figures in such a total. Kent, going in the second time, did badly after a useful start. Knott and Humphreys made 45 together for the first wicket, but six men were out for 58. Huish should have been caught at 59, but that notwithstanding eight wickets were down for 81. Seymour, until then content to play a sedate game, then hit well and a valuable 50 were added before the innings closed. Ere stumps were drawn Greswell and Hardy made 14 together without loss. On the third morning the former was bowled at 27, the latter at 48, and Johnson at 52. Lewis and Samson put on 20 together, but the latter was missedwhen6—amistake which might well have cost Kent the match. At lunch the score was 113 for four wickets, and it was not untilBraundand Samson had added 71 for the fifth wicket that a separation was effected. Samson made a very fine effort for his side, but the tail collapsed before Carr, who obtained his last four wickets for a single in 21 balls and enabled Kent to win as stated.
