Cricket 1913

270 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J tjnb 7, 1913. stolidly, and Hitch and Strudwick hit well, the latter helping Harrison to add 58 for the eighth wicket. About that time Foster must have had his doubts about the wisdom of his declaration; but Hands bowled “ R a zo r” Smith in the nick of time, and the visitors led by 3 runs on the first innings. Surrey had to take the field without Hobbs and Smith, both unwell, and before time Warwickshire had added 74 to their lead for the loss of “ T ig e r ” Smith and Charlesworth. A glance at the analysis, by the way, will show that the latter bowled 26 overs for 48 runs. He is worth utilising at the crease more frequently; before now his bowling has won matches for Warwickshire. Perhaps his figures in this innings were rendered flattering by reason of the fact that he did not bowl much against the other side’s chief hitters. W arw ickshire’s policy on Saturday w as evidently that of sticking tightly to the first innings’ points. Quaife and Kinneir, the overnight not outs, were not parted till 3.15. They added 235 runs in 205 minutes, which can hardly be called exceptionally slow scoring, though neither forced the pace at any time. Not a chance was given, and practically only one bad stroke was made, Quaife at 16 putting up a ball to the off which m ight have been caught if there had been anyone near enough. Kinneir batted 4J hours in all, and was still there when the innings was declared. Most of his runs were made by well-timed strokes to the off. He hit two 5’s and fifteen 4 ’s. Quaife showed somewhat more versatility, and his chief strokes included one 5 and eight 4’s. Surrey went in at 3.45, with no chance of doing any­ thing better than preserve the one point for the first innings. Though Hobbs left with only 2 on the board, defeat never looked likely. Hayes was out at 25; but Bird and Hayward added 75 in 40 minutes, and the latter and Gillespie (missed rather badly by Santall when 3) 78 in 70. The veteran was in 110 minutes, and, though never attempting to score except when it was quite safe, hit as many as ten 4’s. The match yielded 1,139 runs for 27 wickets, and no one helped his bowling average much in the course of it. W a r w ic k sh ir e . First innings. Jeeves c. Blacklidge, b Bird W. C.

Leicestershire v. Nottinghamshire. Played at Loughborough, May 31, June 2 and 3— the first big match ever played on the ground. A. O. Jones, suffering from a bronchial attack, was absent from the visiting side, which was wholly a professional one. Iremonger captained, and won the toss. Several batsmen did fairly well for Notts, George Gunn and Hardstaff adding 50 together, the two Gunns 57, and Whysall, who at last gets a chance to redeem his promise of three years or so ago, and Oates 50. Oates hit six 4’s in his 33. The total after all w as only a moderate one, and it m ight have been smaller had Bannister, the Bank of England man, been utilised earlier. Leicestershire made 73 for 2 w ickets in the 90' minutes that remained. There was an attendance of S.ooo or so, and on Monday 3,000 assembled, a happy augury for future county matches at Loughborough. Mounteney and Shipman batted in dashing style, the latter hitting two 6’s and five 4’s, and K in g and Lord also made useful scores, with the consequence that the home side were headed by 35 runs only. Wass, ow ing to the death of his mother on Sunday, had been called away, and Iremonger, like Jones, apparently forgot that Alletson can bowl. The first six Notts batsmen in the second innings all made double figures, but only George Gunn topped 25, and half the side were out for 112. Alletson then played a hard-hit and extremely valuable innings. Three 6’s and five 4’s were included in his 55, which was made in as many minutes, he and Iremonger adding 63 while together. The wicket had begun to crumble, and the home side, set 264 to win, lost 3 for 42, and appeared to be in Queer Street when the second d a y’s play ended. The not out men, K ing and Mounteney, made a capital stand on Tuesday, adding 81 in 70 m inutes; but the rest failed Completely, Riley taking 3 for 9 in his last spell of bowling. The left-hander had 9 for 142 in the match. It should be noted that Hardstaff was given a chance, and took a couple of wickets. Notts won by 71 runs. First Innings.
