Cricket 1912

450 CEICKET: A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. A u g u s t 24, 1912. beat Fulham by 10 runs. A . E . S. Bramw ell batted best for the losers, who had two men absent, and W. M. Longhurst for the winners. R ain again spoiled cricket in most parts of the North and M id­ lands, and little worthy of record was done. In the North Staffs League Robinson (6 for 22) and E . J . Johnson (4 for 11) , bowling for Stone, dism issed T unstall for 35 ; Porthill (H. F . Wood 44*, Barnes 42) made 109 for 1 v. L e e k ; Burslem scored 129 for 9 (E. Cook 26) v. Crewe Alexandra, and Norton 10 2 for 5 (F. Crump 39, H. W right 26) v. Longton ; but these games were abandoned before the afternoon was halfw ay through, and the rest had to be given up still earlier. In the Birm ingham League matters were even worse ; every game was started, but nothing of moment occurred, and none was finished. Leicester— likewise. Somewhat more progress—though nothing to brag about—was possible in Yorkshire. Three or four Yorkshire Council matches were finished. Castleford owed their victory over Rotherham to C. R u ssell’s bowling (9 for 28). Heckmondwike had a narrow win over Dewsbury —86 to 8 1. In tbe Huddersfield League Slaithwaite (Blackburn 55) beat Honley very easily, and strengthened their hold on the leadership. The only match finished in the Lancashire League was that between Nelson and Bacup, won by the former, for whom Hallam took 5 for 34, Kermode having 5 for 42 for the losers. In the Central Lancashire League not a single game was decided, though a beginning was made in most cases. In North Yorkshire and South Durham the weather conditions were more favourable, though wickets generally were queer. Salt­ burn declared at 246 for 9 v. West Hartlepool, who replied with 206 for 8 . It was Jackson’s benefit, but of little value to him , clashing as it did with the Football Sports. He had, however, what satis­ faction he could derive from being the chief all-round performer in the game, making a chanceless 83 and taking 5 for 64. A. Cart­ wright’s 71 for Saltburn was a capital innings, including some very nice late cuts. In the m atch at Saltburn between these two sides only 48 runs were registered ; at W est Hartlepool 452 were made. Tolson (8 for 41) bowled finely for Darlington v. Redcar, and his side won by 6 wickets. In the m atch at Guisborough Bulm er took 7 for 2 1 for the home side, R . Robinson 5 for 19 for North Ormesby. Guisborough won by 2 wickets and some runs. Stockton (R. V. Gooding 40, T . Linton 35) rather unexpectedly beat Norton, who now seem to have lost their grip on the championship. Bishop Auckland declared at 17 3 for 7 v. Thornaby, but could not win. In the Durham Senior League (Eastern Division) Sunderland still heads the table with 30 points in 18 games, Durham City coming second with 29 in 19, and Boldon third with 25 in 18 . On Saturday Boldon and Durham C ity were in opposition, and Sunderland met South Shields, who stand fourth. Both mathes were drawn, stopped by bad light. At Boldon G . Ord (45) for the hom e side, and F . Scott (40*) for the City were top scorers. Sunderland lacked some of their best men, notably their skipper, C. Brooks. T . Coulson, the old county skipper, won the toss for South Shields, and sent tbe other side in. Hubert Brooks (who played splendid cricket for 80) and E . L . Squance (36) put up 84 for the first wicket, and the last added 26. Shields had made 1£5 for 7 when tha game was given up, J . Carter’s 42 top score. Morris, whose benefit it was (attendance good) had the second, third, and fourth wickets in one over. The Sunderland F.C . refrained from having a practice game for M orris’s sake—a very sport­ ing action, much appreciated. Burnmoor caused a sensation by defeat* ing Wearmouth, their first win since W hit-Saturday. They took 3 hours to make 144 (H. M. Stobart 40, T . A. Bulm er 36), and then got their opponents out for 10 3, G. Summ erill 7 for 49. Chester-le- Street declared at 209 for 5 (J. Robinson 64, W . R . Scott 4 1*, J . K . Bewick the veteran, 36), and put Whitburn out for 1 1 7 (Jam es 43), Thackeray taking 7 for 37. Eppleton provided another surprise packet. They dism issed Hendon for 7 1, Hinchcliffe (whose benefit it was) taking 5 for 13 and J . Oldham 5 for 32, and then made 18 3 (A. Newsome, the captain, 58, R ev. W . L . M. Law 47). Seaham Harbour easily beat P h ila­ delphia (104 to 49), Dickeus taking 5 for 17 for the winners. Burnmoor II, practically made themselves safe for the Second Division Championship. They have a 5-point lead, with 4 games (3 with weak opponents) still to play. Solly 7 for 10 for Burnopfield, Court 8 for 22 for South Moor— 100 runs in the match, and Burnopfield winning by 2 2 ; thus the N.W . Durham League Champions went down for a second time in succession. Four runs fewer were made in the Birtley v. Burnhope match, which the former won by 18. H . L . Dales hit up a century for Consett v. Medomsley, a drawn game in the end. Kimblesworth beat Langley Park by 8 runs— 14 5 to 137 . In the Tyneside League Milne reached three figures for Benwell H ill v. North Durham , and G. L Hunting, the old Lorettonian, made 8 1 for the County Club v. Wallsend. For Old Novocastrians v. Ryton, Carr took 9 for 33, for Tynemouth v. Tynedale, Hickton had 9 for 56, and for St. George’s v. South Northumberland, C. M. Skinner 8 for 36. The Score Book. SUSSEX v. SOUTH AFRICANS.
