M ay 17, 1913. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 201 Lancashire v. Yorkshire. At Old Trafford on Monday, before a crowd of about 12^000, play lasted a trifle under 2j hours, and 108 runs were scored, the home side gaining a distinct advantage. Hirst was top scorer for Yorkshire; but he was by no means at the top of his form. Heap was the havoc-worker; no one seemed able to do anything' with him. Rain made the wicket somewhat easier before Lancashire batted, and they had 34 for one up before, soon after lunch, more rain stopped play. On Tuesday Yorkshire were quite outplayed. Seven Red Rose batsmen reached double figures; but when the visitors batted again Dean and Heap got rid of the whole side for the paltry total of 53. Heap had the fine analysis of 11 for 39 for the match. Y o rk sh ir e . Second innings. 8 b Dean First innings. I Smith (E. J.). b Chester ...

Indisposition kept Arnold and W. H. Taylor out of the home side at Dudley on Monday, B. G. Stevens, captain of the Dudley C .C., and Hunt, the head groundsman at Worcester, coming in. In the course of 80 minutes’ play on a good pitch Bowley and Pearson made 77 together, the former, though missed once, playing a fine forcing game. Rain at 1.20, and no more play. Tuesday’s proceedings started with six successive maiden overs; after that the bats­ men got going, and took the score to 130 (made in 135 minutes) before Bowley left for a capital 79. Pearson, who had also batted well, though with less vigour, was out soon afterwards, and of the rest only Stevens did anything of note. Charlesworth alone did much for the visitors, and the best stand was his with Baker for the sixth wicket—46. On Wednesday play was dull. Worcestershire sat hard on their first innings’ lead, and Collier let 35 minutes pass without adding to his score. The other batsmen played more attrac­ tively, H. K. Foster’s innings being excellently free; but by the time a declaration was made all hopes of a finish had disappeared, 269 being needed in 2 hours. Smith played a good and lively innings of 66, and the visitors were never in danger. W o rcester sh ir e .

On Tuesday Chaplin won the toss, and took first innings. Robert Relf and Simms, sent in first to force the game, soon left. Vine and Albert Relf added 41 in 50 minutes for the third wicket, the former batting in all 77 minutes for his dogged 17. Chaplin himself made top score, though he had some luck. Humphreys and Hardinge let nearly six overs elapse before they started the scoring for Kent; no doubt those who exalt the White Horse county immeasurably above all other sides for always playing the game and never being slow will find it hard to believe. Hardinge made amends later; he and Seymour were still together at call of time, and were not separated on Wednesday till they had taken their partnership to 119. Of the rest only Hatfeild could do much with Robert Relf and Simms. H. L. Wilson played the best innings when Sussex batted again, and Fairservice bowled well. In the end Kent won easily. The Kent captain testified to the deporable wickedness of his disposition by consenting to a tea interval, proposed by his fellow-criminal of Sussex, one gathers; and Kent only had 25 minutes to spare at the finish—think of the dire things that might have happened ! And consider the feelings of the spectators— 900 of them ! First Innings. S u sse x . H. L. Simms, c Dillon, b Blythe Relf (R.), c W oolley, b Blythe Vine (J.), c W oolley, b Blythe Relf (A.
