Cricket 1913

June 28, 1913. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 339 Cheshire v. Durham. At Cale Green, Stockport, June 18 and 19. The home side showed poor form on a good wicket. J. C. Fallow's batted 70 minutes for 20, and W. A. C ragg and Smoker made a few. T. Kinch, who was captaining the visitors in E. B. Proud’s absence through indisposition, and Dennis Hendren made a capital stand of 101 for the second wicket in 65 minutes. Kinch gave one chance; Hendren (who batted 95 minutes) was twice missed; but both nevertheless played good innings. Kinch hit nine 4’s, Hendren seven. After a very slow start, Harrison later played fine, free cricket; he was in altogether 130 minutes, and made eleven 4’s. Turnbull hit up 28 in 20 minutes. A. L. Ford, last vear in the Charterhouse XI., also played well. Rain had slightly affected the wicket wTien Cheshire batted again, and Morris made the most of the aid afforded him. At one period he took 4 wickets while only 2 runs were being scored off him, and his last 3 were taken for a single. Durham won by an innings and 123 runs. First Innings. C h esh ire J. C.

On a good wicket Yorkshire (lacking Haigh, w'ho had had a slight motor accident) made an in­ different start, 5 being out for 125. Up to that stage only Drake and Hirst, who added 57 together, had done any­ thing worth noting; but Booth, joining Kilner, stayed for the remainder of the innings for a chanceless 107, made in 135 minutes, chiefly by full-shouldered strokes to the on, and including twelve 4’s. Kilner, who was very slow, how­ ever, helped him to add 66 for the sixth wicket, and the colt. Holmes, showed nice form. J. T. Hearne again bowled capitally. He has not succumbed to the usual veteran complaint—lowered arm. When Middlesex batted Robertson left at 24, but Tarrant and the younger Hearne took the score to 73 before time, and, continuing next morning, added 117 in all. Tarrant was twice missed by Denton, who had the sun in his eyes and lost sight of the ball each time, only to see it, much to his chagrin, fall quite close to him. Five were out for 165; but Hendren and Mann added 58 in 36 minutes. Ultimately the home side were 18 in arrear, Booth having followed up his century bv some fine bowling. His last four wickets were taken at a cost of only 15 runs. W’hen Yorkshire had made 3 without loss, heavy rain stopped play. On its continuation Wilson and Denton went very cheaply, and though Rhodes and Hirst added 42, four w'ickets were down for 88 at the close. Kilner gave Rhodes some help; but when 7 were out ‘or 155 Yorkshire appeared in grave danger. After a shaky start Booth and Stanley did really well, and their stand of 65 put the side in quite a good position. Middlesex had 253 set them to win in 3J hours. It is the sort of thing that may be done, but a good start is very necessary if it is to be done. When 4 wickets were down for 53, there was no hope left of a win, and Warner (who batted 155 minutes for his 64*) and Hendren set themselves to save the game, their fourth wicket partnership of 79 making this practically safe, as when Hendren left less than an hour remained for play.

Umpires : W. A. J. West and Parris. Hirst bowled one wide. Kent v. Warwickshire. At Tonbridge, June 19, 20, and 21. Warwickshire visited a Kent ground for the first time this century'. They lacked Smith, Kinneir, Field, C. K. Langley, and G. W. Stephens. Kent played the same team which had beaten Essex in the first match of the week. The visitors lost two good wickets cheaply; but there were three very useful stands thereafter, Charlesworth and Quaife adding 50 for the third wicket, Baker and Jeeves 60 for the fifth, and Hands and Santall (in 45 minutes) 63 for the eighth. Thus the respectable total of 262 was reached; and when, at call of time, Kent had three of their best out with only 40 up, Warwickshire appeared to be on top. In the very brief spell of play which rain allowed on Friday the score was taken to 104 for 5. The pitch on Saturday morning was distinctly queer, and the remaining batsmen could do nothing with Foster, who had the five outstanding at a cost of only 13 runs. Warwick­ shire, going in with a lead of 130, collapsed utterly. They batted only 45 minutes, and in that time made 16 runs, Blythe and Woolley each taking 5 wickets for 8. The pitch wras very queer, and no side could have made many runs against the two left-handers; but so complete a failure was scarcely looked for. Kent seemed to have a big task in hand still, needing 147; and before lunch they lost Humphreys and Seymour cheaply. But afterwards the pitch appeared to have recovered itself to a great extent; Hardinge and Woolley hit up 57 together in 25 minutes; the England man reached 50 in about as many minutes, and
