34* CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A ugust 18, igio. SUSSEX v. MIDDLESEX. Played at Eastbourne on August 11,12 & 13. Middlesex won by an innings and 165 runs. Taking every advantage of batting first on a pevfect wicket, Middlesex stayed in the whole of Thursday afternoon, scoring, in five hours and a-quarter, 3S0 for the loss of four men. Warner and Tarrant laid the foundation of a good total by making 180 together in 140 minutes for the first wicket. Both men made their runs by a variety of strokes. Warner hit a 6 and eleven 4’s and Tarrant (second out, at 182) a 5 and thirteen 4’s. Douglas gave no trouble, but Hearne (J. W.) played with marked skill and carried out his bat for 101 at the end of the day: with Baker he added 64 in 40 minutes and with Saville 124 without being parted in an hour and three-quarters. Rain restricted play to two hours and three-quarters on Friday, during which time Middlesex increased their total by 46 and Sussex lost six wickets for 57. Hearne was soon out, caught at mid-on at 397. For three hours he played free and attractive cricket, and without making amistake scored 108. His most remunerative strokes were ten 4’s. Saville, with whom he put on 141 for the fifth wicket in two hours, drove vei'ywell and hit seven 4’s. With eight wickets down for 426 the innings was declared closed, and then in 95 minutes Sussex fared so badly on a wicket all in favour of the attack that when stumps were drawn they were 369 runs behind with only four wickets in hand. On Saturday it was not found possible to resume play until after lunch, and then the home side fared very badly on a wicket altogether against run-getting. Killick and Cox added 18 more together and Vincett made a few good hits, but the innings closed for 108. In the follow-on Vine, Robert Relf and Heygate were all out for 8. The elder Relf hit successfully and was fourth out, at 84, for 61. The last six wickets, however, went down for 69, and Middlesex won by the margin stated. Tarrant took thirteen wickets in the match for 137 runs. This was agame in which winning the toss meant winning the match. Score and analysis:— M iddlesex . P. F.

Although only 266 runs were made during the first day of this match, the cricket was always interesting. Over 12,000 persons were present at one time during the afternoon. By rather quiet cricket Yorkshire put together a very useful total, but for their comparatively slow run-getting the excellent fielding of the home side must be held chiefly responsible. Rhodes and Wilson made 45 for the first wicket in an hour. The latter, second out, made 40 out of 76 in 80 minutes ere falling to a splendid catch close in at short-leg. Wilkinson and Denton, at 79 and 98 respectively, also fell to fine efforts on the part of the fieldsmen. Hirst, after a quiet start, drove and pulled vigorously and made his 50 in 80 minutes. Haigh, however, was the highest scorer of the side with a rousing 61 not out, made in 65 minutes without a chance. When Surrey went in an appeal was made at once against the light—at 6.5—and the commencement of the innings was postponed until the next morning. The home side were seen to great advantage on the second day, and as the result of somevery consistent batting gained a lead of 171 runs. During the night there had been some rain, but the steady tactics of Hayward and Harrison took the sting out of the attack and enabled the ground to become fast again before the later batsmen went in. After Hayward had made 46 out of 73 in an hour and a-half, Hayes and Harrison added 43 in 40minutes and the latter and Bush 23 in 20. Harrison’s valuable 47 were made out of 139 in two hours and a-half. When Bush was out, at 147, the game was in a fairly level state, but the association of Ducat and Hobbs enabled Surrey to secure the advantage. By brilliant hitting the pair put on 121 in 75 minutes for the fifth wicket, Hobbs, who drove splendidly, hitting a 5and eight 4’s in making 62of the number. Abel made 18 of the next 35 runs, and then, with Hitch in, the Yorkshire bowling again came in for punishment, 127 being added for the seventh wicket in 55 minutes: the first 100 of them were obtained in 38 minutes. Ducat’s batting was by far the best of the day. He made his 153 out of 298 in 170 minutes by bright and brisk cricket without a mis­ take of any kind. His on-driving and forcing strokes to leg were excellent, and he hit twenty-one ; s. Hitch also played a free game, and a six and five 4’s were included among his hits. The last few wickets went down very quickly, leaving Yorkshire 10 minutes in which to bat at the end of the day. During that time they scored 7 without loss, Rhodes and Wilson in. Rain on Saturday morning caused a long delay, and in was not until 20 minutes past four that the decision that further play could not take place was come to. Score and analysis :— Y orkshire .
