Cricket 1913

June 14, 1913. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 297 300 was just reached— after 58 for 5! At call of time the visitors had scored 40 without loss. Tuesday’s play resolved itself into a hard struggle for runs against the Yorkshire bowlers on a pitch that gave them no special help. Wood and Whitehead were soon parted, and no one else did any­ thing in the first innings. In the follow-on K ing and Lord added 43 for the fifth partnership; but Whitehead was the only man besides K ing who made more than 10. Hirst was in deadly form, swerving diabolically with a cross-wind, and had 10 for 48 in the match. Yorkshire won by an innings and 108 runs— a result that scarcely looked likely when Booth joined Kilner on the Monday. Y o r k sh ir e . 18 4 Rhodes, lbw, b Geary ................ Wilson (B.

Warwickshire v. Hampshire. At Edgbaston, June 9, 10, and 11. The home side lacked their captain, who is not very fit and has gone to North Wales for a holiday, and Kinneir, who has a damaged kn ee; and before the game had been long in progress Field broke down. Hampshire, too, were not at full strength. Sprot won the toss, and Stone and Bowell, the latter very re­ strained, made 59 before the first wicket fell. Three were down for 63, the Newman-Mead stand which has lately become customary being off for once. Brown left at 76; but Sprot and Mead put on 95 in 70 minutes. Mead batted 85 minutes in a l l ; he only hit four 4’s. Remnant, Yates, and Bolton all made a few ; but with Foster away and Field in­ capacitated a bigger score m ight have been expected. Smith and Parsons put up 58 in 35 minutes before rain closured play. The England stumper hit out capitally, his 39 includ­ ing a 6 and six 4’s. On the second morning Charlesworth played forcing cricket for an hour for his 54, and Baker batted 70 minutes for 25 ; but no one else got going. Jaques, who is said to be likely to captain Hants before very long, bowled well. The visitors’ second attempt was a very dis­ appointing display, even when allowance is made for the fact that the wicket w as never easy. Captain Yates re­ deemed it from utter failure, coming in with 7 down for 52, and playing a good as well as a useful innings. Langley bowled effectively, and when he gets help from the pitch knows how to use it. Wanting 168 to win, the home side early lost Smith and Charlesworth ; but Parsons and Quaife took the score from 11 to 65, and were unparted at the end of the day. On Wednesday, with only 113 needed and all day to go, the batsmen were somewhat leisurely in their methods at the outset, but livened up later. Quaife left, Gloucestershire v. Lancashire. A t Bristol, June 9, 10, and 11. The home side lacked Nason, but had Jessop and Douglas Robinson. A. E. Lawton displaced Blomley in the visiting eleven. Quite the feature of the d ay’s play was Hornby’s sound innings. He batted over 3 hours, with one difficult chance, and hit nine 4’s. For the rest, Makepeace batted 40 minutes for 13 and went unregretted; John Tyldesley, who will be making a century before long, stayed in 85 minutes for his 44, and helped Hornby to add 86; and Heap and Lawton, lashing out, added 55 in 25 minutes for the seventh wicket. Gange bowled very well, and looks like earning an assured place in the side. Robinson and Dipper put up 60 for the first Gloucestershire wicket, and without another run added play ceased for the day. There w as a collapse before Huddleston and Dean on a wicket that gave them some help when play was resumed after lunch on Tuesday. Robinson batted 2 hours for his 46. Lancashire, 122 on, made their position practically safe by adding 116 for 3 before call of time. The brothers Tyldesley and John Sharp were all seen to advan­ tage. The wicket on the last morning appeared much improved, and Lancashire scored fast. Sharp and Ernest Tyldesley added 77 more before the former left, after batting 110 minutes for 83. He made eight 4’s; the younger Tyldesley hit a 6 and thirteen 4’s, and batted 2J hours. MacLeod’s hard-hit 55 included ten 4’s, and he and Tyldesley put on about 100 together. Declaring before lunch at 298, Hornby left Gloucestershire 421 to get for victory. That was out of the question, of course ; but no doubt the presence of Jessop helped to save his side from defeat. Had he not been there, they would have had a longer period to play put in order to avoid it. Dipper was the main factor in saving
