Cricket 1910

S e p t . 8, 1910. CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 389 YORKSHIRE v. M.C.C. AND GROUND. Played at Scarborough on September 1, 2 & 3. THE SCARBOROUGH FESTIVAL. Drawn. The M.C.C. place 1 a good side in the field for the opening match of the Scarborough Festival. Morice Bird and Geoffrey Foster played for the Club, though their counties were engaged at the Oval and Bournemouth respectively. The feature of Thursday’s play was the batting of Hutchings, who scored 114 out of 175 in an hour and a-half, the only blemish of his brilliant display being an awkward chance in the long-field when 32. He hit four 6's and fourteen 4’s, driving with much power and making some fine wrist strokes in front of square-leg. After two wickets had fallen for 47 he and Foster added 87 in 40 minutes, the latter hitting seven 4’s in his faultless and admirable display. Fane obtained 30 in 100 minutes by sedate cricket, and Thomp- ron maie some good hits in scoring 24. The innings lasttd four hours and 10 minutes and realised 287. In the last 20 minutes of the day Booth and Bates made 22 without loss. Only 28 runs were added by the pair before lunch on Friday when rain interrupted play and subsequently caused stumps to be drawn for the day. The weather was genial on the Saturday, and as the wicket had made a good recovery it was found possible to continue the game at mid-day. Booth and Bates, who thus batted on each of the three days, scored 88 together for the first wicket. The latter was then caught at the wicket, and 2 later Booth also was sent back. Denton and Legard added 41 in 35 minutes, and the former and Hirst 85 in 50. Denton hit nine 4’s in his attractive innings and Hir.it obtained a couple of 6’s oif Buckenham. Of the others Haigh alone met with much success, but the side obtained a lead of 2. Keif took the last six wickets for 31 runs. In the fiual stage of the match, which was not taken seriously, the visitors scored 103 for one wicket against the bowling of Bayes, Rhodes and RadcliJffe. Score and analysis:— M.C.C.

Played at Bournemouth on September 1, 2 and 3. THE BOURNEMOUTH FESTIVAL. The Hat-Trick by Cuffe. Hampshire won by 143 runs. Batsmen were handicapped to some extent by the state ot the ground on Thursday, and during the day twenty wickets fell for 291 runs, stumps being drawn when each side had completed an innings. Worcestershire, though losing the toss, gained a lead of 41, thanks chiefly to Cuffe, who got rid of Brown, Sprot and McDonell with consecutive balls, and to Pearson, Crowe and Collier, who made useful scores. Hampshire made a promising start, considering the state of the wicket, Mead and Stone scoring 37 together. The last five wickets, however, fell for 21 in 27 minutes, Cuffe taking four wickets in three overs for 11 runs after the interval. The visitors also began well, Bowley and Pearson making 39 for the first wicket, but half the side were out for 98, and but for a plucky and valuable stand of 52 for the sixth wicket in half-an-hour by Crowe and Collier the home side might well have found themselves with a lead at the end of the day. Friday’s play saw the home side make 362 and set Worcestershire 322 to win. It was a good, keen day’s cricket and those present saw Sprot and Fry in their best form. Mead was bowled at 4, and although Stone and Johnston added 62 in an hour, half the side were out for 117 at lunch-time. The sixth wicket fell at 141, when Burrows bowled Yates, and then came the turning-point of the innings. Sprot partnered Fry and the bowling was mastered, the pair adding 159 for the seventh wicket in 115 minutes. Sprot hit well all round the wicket but was rather fortunate : included in his score were nine 4’s. Fry was in just over three hours and hit a 6 and twelve 4’s. His placing was admirable and the only blemish in his display was a sharp chance at the wicket when 40. Play ceased for the day when the innings closed. Hampshire always appeared to have the game in hand on Saturday and won by 143 runs. Pearson was bowled at 12, and although Arnold and Bowley added 41 together and Crowe and Cuffe 65 (in 35 minutes) six wickets were down for 144 at lunch. After the interval the end soon came, the home side winning by the margin stated. Score and analysis :— H a m p s h ir e . First innings. Second innings.
