Cricket 1913

342 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J une 28, 1 913. Derbyshire v. Northamptonshire. At Blackwell, June 21, 23, and 24. Vials was still aw ay; Derbyshire lacked Morton, crocked, and T. G. O. Cole. Except for W. H. Denton— 105 minutes for 51—the early batsmen of the visiting side did little, and East strained the muscles of his calf and had to retire, so that Northants looked in evil plight when Walden joined John Seymour with only 112 on the board. These two made a great stand. The little man played a sedate and sound gam e; Seymour drove with great power, hitting a 6, a 5, and twenty-one 4's in his 136; and they added 149 in 80 minutes before the foot­ baller left for 41. Buswell proved good at need, and 50 were put on for the last wicket in half as many minutes. Seymour’s is his first century in big cricket. Derbyshire had 51 up for 1 by close of play, but were all out for 154 on Monday. They were 151 for 5 at lunch ; afterwards the other 5 fell for 3, Thompson taking 4 in 3 overs. Following on, they fared worse for a time, only Oliver of the earlier batsmen meeting with any success; but with 6 wickets down for 90 Slater and Warren made a resolute stand, adding 102 in 85 minutes. Wells strained his side, and was unable to bowl after one over on Monday. When time came the Peak County were 67 on with a wicket to fall. Considering the deterioration of the wicket, they had done by no means badly to avert an innings’ defeat. They were all out for 256 on Tuesday, and the visitors knocked off the runs required for the loss of only one wicket. N o r th a n ts . First Innings. W. H. Denton, b Cadman ... Woolley (C.

Neither innings was quite free from fault, however, and Perrin was palpably missed at 71 and at 136. These things are all in the game, and Perrin is the wrong man to give lives to ; he is apt to stay long enough without fortune’s favours. The clerical gentleman hit one splendid 6, right on top of the pavilion, and sixteen 4’s; the lengthy Tottenham man made fifteen 4’s. Except by Fane, little was done after they were parted, and Douglas declared with8 down pretty early on Monday morning, 43 having then been added to the Saturday even­ ing’s score. Surrey showed that the Essex bowling has small terrors this season. Ilayward was out at 21; but Hayes and Hobbs added 86 for the second wicket. Then Douglas made a good catch dismissing Hayes, and Hobbs was caught next ball in the slips, and three were down for 107. Bird and Goatly added 70 in 80 minutes; after practis­ ing patience all this time both g o t’ out in attempting big hits. The Twickenham man left at 200, and before call of time Harrison and Wilkinson added 45 unparted, and a follow-on was put out of the question—which mattered the less as Essex can scarcely at present expect to get down 20 wickets of a strong batting side in succession. After Harrison and the old Blundellian, who had added 59 together, were parted little more was done, and the home side had a lead of 95 runs. When Essex batted again a ball from Hitch, getting up nastily, hit Russell on the back of the head and stunned him. He recovered consciousness within a few minutes under medical aid, but of course did not bat again. Mclver left at 16; then Perrin and Gillingham made runs fast and freely, adding 147 in 85 minutes. The latter scored at run-per-minute pace. Perrin’s 76* took 105 minutes. He hit eight 4’s, his partner fifteen. Tremlin and Freeman went cheaply, and Douglas declared, though his hopes of getting Surrey out in 155 minutes could not have been great. Any danger of defeat for the Oval brigade was averted by Hayward and Hobbs, who in 85 minutes sent up 100 for the_ first wicket— the thirty-third three-figure partner­ ship in which these two stalwarts have been jointly concerned for Surrey. The number equals that of C. B. Fry and Vine for Sussex. Hobbs’s 70 (one 6, nine 4’s) were made in 100 minutes. Stumps were drawn at 6 o ’clock, all chance of a finish having disappeared. E sse x .

Week-end starts seem to suit the Leyton crowd; there were between 3,000 and 4,000 present on Saturday. Smith and Spring were replaced bv C. T. A. Wilkinson and Rushby in the Surrey team, and McGahey came back to the Essex side. When the home team had two out for 47 the outlook seemed none too good ; but here began a very long partnership between Gillingham and Perrin. They added 240 for the third wicket.
