Cricket 1913

M ay 31, 1913. CRICKET : A WEEKLY kECORD OP THE GAME. 247 out. Colman’s 92 took him 135 minutes; he gave one chance, at 29. Hosie and Shaw rattled up 64 in d trifle over half-an-hour for the sixth w ick et; but the tail did little, and the innings closed for 445 after a score of 600 or so had appeared likely. Before time M .C.C . scored 30 for the loss of Hurst’s wicket. On the Friday they were always strug­ gling, and before time had gone under by an innings and 41 runs. Jessop was top scorer in each innings; he hit 59 in 46 minutes in the first, and 68 in an hour in the second. During his second innings Naumann hit his wicket, but the bails stuck. O f the rest only K . 1 . Nicholl, who batted nearly 2 hours for 43, with one chance, G. H. M. Cartwright, and G. J. V . W eigall did anything. Havelock Davies (Brighton) and Peat (Sedbergh) bowled capitally. O xfo rd U n iv e r sit y . F. H. Knott, c Mignon, b Osborne... B. G. Melle, b Osborne ................ G. R. R.

Not for more than a dozen years have Hampshire appeared at Lord’s v. M .C .C . In this match they tried G. H. B. Chance, one of the Eton bowlers of last year, and Evans, a professional wicket-keeper, who is not yet qualified for county cricket. There was very little of moment in Thursday’s play. J. W . Hearne had most of the Hants batsmen in trouble on a good wicket, and the highest score was only 39. Watson’s catch which disposed of Sprot deserves mention; the Norfolk pro. was fielding right on the boundary, and he judged the flight of the ball capitally. Except for this one, all Hearne’s w ickets were l.b.w. decisions, Atfield being the umpire in each case. Whittington made 40 out of 54 for the first M .C .C . wicket, and looked good for a century when he was run out. Only 87 had been scored when the fifth wicket fell; but Doll and the Hon. Brian Butler quickly added 40 for the sixth, and Tarrant, goin g in late on account of a damaged hand, made 65* in 70 minutes (eight 4’s) by fine cricket. On Friday the county lost Bowell and Remnant with only 31 scored. Mead helped Stone to add 53. Brown and Stone put on 34. Evans, hitting well to leg, and Stone added 62. At this stage Stone left, having batted steadily for 140 minutes for his 67. Then came a big change. Sprot, though not always timing the ball well, hit out, scoring 90 (twelve 4’s) in 100 m inutes; and Newman gave him such excellent sup­ port that 98 were added for the eighth wicket in under an hour. Nine 4’s were included in Newman’s total. M .C.C. needed 337 for victory. Whittington and Major Thomson put up 56 runs in half-an-hour; but thereafter wickets fell fast before Hesketh-Prichard, Newman, and Remnant, and all were out for 128, Hampshire winning by 208 runs.

Northamptonshire v. Lancashire. The visitors to Northampton on Thursday still lacked John Tyldesley, and had Worsley instead of B rooke; but apart from the latter change their team was stronger than at Leyton, Dean returning to it, and he and A. E. Lawton displacing James Tyldesley and Cook. Vials was absent from the home side, and is not likely to play again just yet. Except for a stand of 103 for the fourth wicket by Makepeace and W . Tyldesley after three men had left for 35, and a lucky partnership of 63 for the seventh by Heap and Ralph Whitehead, the Red Rose batsmen did little on a pitch which, a trifle queer at first from rain in the night, improved rapidly afterwards. Makepeace was in just over 2 hours, W. Tyldesley i j hours, Heap i j hours. Northants lost 3 for 12, and the third dismissal Caused a barracking incident. Lawton, in the slips, fell when catching Sm ith; Vining could not decide whether the catch had been made ; Harrison, the square-leg umpire, gave Smith out. A section of the crowd misbehaved; and Hornby, going to them, threatened to lead his men off the field. The barrackers then subsided. Hayward and Thompson added 58 before call of time, taking 90 minutes to do it in. The attendance was something under 2,000. Only two runs were added on Friday before the Kent-born man left. Thompson plodded on, and when at last out for 36 had enjoyed 160 minutes’ tenure of his position. Lancashire got no enjoyment out of it, naturally; and the spectators can hardly have got much. Seymour got going in much more effective style, and his 72 in 105 minutes included two 6’s and eight 4’s. He was missed at 56. Walden helped him to add 61 in 35 minutes for the eighth wicket. The footballer has very considerable driving powers for so small a man. Lancashire’s second innings was a very mediocre affair. The best stand was 51 ky Lawton and Heap for the sixth wicket, after five had fallen for 76. Wells again bowled finely, and Smith also did an effective bit of work. The home side needed 173 f°r victory, and had 9 wickets to g o when Friday’s play closed, Wells
