Cricket 1913

J u n e 7, 1913 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 267 THE SCORE-BOOK. Middlesex v. Essex. At Lord’s, May 30 and 31, June 2. A Friday start at the headquarter's of crick et! Who shall say we do not move with the times? Essex lacked Fane, and played G. M. Louden and the youthful Mead. Winning the toss, Warner sent the visitors in, the pitch having been affected by a thunderstorm in the night. Douglas, who stayed 75 minutes for his 14, and Russell put up 49 for the first wicket in just over an hour; but a better partnership was that of Freeman and Buckenham, who made 59 together for the sixth in about half-an-hour— the one bright spot of the innings. Young Hearne’s bowling was various; but he sent down enough good balls to secure seven wickets— or else had a lot of luck with bad ones ! Mann’s catch in the outfield, dismissing Tremlin, was a capital one. Tarrant left at 7, and Weston at 24; but then J. W . Hearne and Warner, each with one narrow squeak, held the fort to the end of the day, when they had added 83 in partnership. Hearne was early out on Saturday; but his captain did 110; leave till he had been in possession just over 4 hours, and his 125, quite chaneeless and including ten 4’s, was a characteristic innings. Doll, driving powerfully, helped him to add 104 in 85 minutes for the seventh wicket. The old Carthusian lifted a ball from McGahey right over the covered stand to the left of the pavilion. Middlesex owed it mainly to their captain that they had a lead of 124 on the first innings. Buckenham bowled really well, but of the rest only Louden seemed to present any difficulty to the batsmen. Essex met with small success in their second venture. Russell alone did anything of note, and his 70, mainly the result of hitting on the leg side, were made out of 129 in a trifle over 2 hours. At the close, with only Freeman, not out, and the tail left, Essex were 23 on. Freeman made a few more on Monday, and Walter Mead hit out; but Middle­ sex were left to make only 58, and made them for the loss of two wickets. First Innings. E ssex . Second Innings. J. W. H. T.

Lancashire, with first innings, looked at one time like going very cheaply indeed, and adding another leaf to Derby’s laurel wreath. The wicket was slow, but apparently easy. Makepeace, John Tyldesley, Sharp, and William Tvldesley only made 21 among them ; but while they failed I lornby was batting magnificently. O f the first 125, made in 140 minutes, his share was 89, and he hit eleven 4’s. Thereafter matters i 11proved for the Red Rose. Ernest Tyldesley and Ileap did s-.> well that 214 were up when the seventh wicket fell. But the best was yet to come. Huddleston had a narrow squeak. Slater and Forester each leaving the other to g o for a lofted b a ll; and after that he and Whitehead fairly took charge of proceedings, adding 89 runs in 50 minutes by determined methods. At the end of the day, play having been a trilie shortened by a thunderstorm during the afternoon, the County Palatine were 295 for 7. Slater finished off the innings next morning for an addition of only 8 runs. Then Huddleston and Dean went through Derbyshire for 113, only Oliver and Forester reaching 20. The Peak County followed on, and at call of time had lost 7 for 108. Had rain not stopped play for an hour or so probably all would have been over on Saturday. All were out for 165 on Monday, Slater making 30, and I^ancashire won by an innings and 25 runs. Had Derbyshire batted first the result might well have been reversed, for the w icket on Saturday was none too good. A record gate for Chesterfield— between 8,000 and 9,000—was seen on that dav.

The home side had first innings, and occupied the wickets all day on Thursday. Sydney Smith batted 4 hours 20 minutes for his 133, making many fine strokes on the leg side. He was said to have been missed at the wicket when only 2, and at 124 he should have been caught at mid-off. Only three other batsmen did anything, East, who w as very slow, aid­ ing Smith in a tedious stand of 62 for the third w icket (90 minutes), John Denton helping to add 102 for the fifth (75 minutes), and Walden assisting in a partnership of 59 for the eighth (50 minutes). There were something like 3,000 spectators, a good gate at Northampton. On Friday the Kent batsmen scored at a’ good pace, and the Northants fielding was scarcely up to its usual high standard. Hardinge and Seymour put on 111 for the second wicket (90 minutes), Woolley and Seymour 73 for the third (45 minutes), Hubble
