366 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J uly 5, 1913. Northumberland v. Cheshire. A t Newcastle-on-Tyne, June 25 and 26.- Everybody scored for the northern county, and G . L. Hunting played another brilliant innings, hitting up 116 runs in 80 minutes. The innings w as declared at 391 for 7, runs having come fast throughout, and before time 8 Cheshire w ickets were down, and the visitors w^ere still 300 behind. On Thursday only Holland could do anything' with the b ow lin g; he hit out, and made four 6 ’s and five 4 ’s in his 64. Northumberland won by an inning's and 126 runs. Even without F. W . Gillespie, they are probably now a stronger side than at any other period of the club’s history. N o r t h u m b e r l a n d . D urh am B o w ler s ’ A n a l y s is . Morris ................

At South Shields, June 25 and 26. Though they lacked Barnes, Staffordshire proved more than a match for Durham. F. R. Heath’s batting and Morgan’s bowling were the | features of the first d ay’s play, at the end of which Stafford- j shire were 113 on with 8 wickets to fall in their second I innings. The last 5 Durham wickets had tumbled to Bucknell and Morgan for only 8 runs. No one made many ! for the visitors on Thursday, when Morris bowled in fine style; but after Hubert Brooks and Hendren had given the home side a good start on their task of making 179 to win the rest collapsed, and Staffordshire won by 63 runs. The winners had undoubtedly the best of the wicket. Morgan and Bucknell are both Somerset men. It looks as though Somerset m ight find them useful if they were only available! First Innings.

At Northampton, June 26, 27, and 28. Weakened by the absence of G. A. T . Vials, East, and Wells— all crocked — the home side did well to stay in all day v. Yorkshire; but the cricket was undeniably slow. William Denton met Hirst with a straight bat and any amount of pluck, but could not get him a w a y ; the analysis will tell its own tale here. The old Wellingburian actually took only 10 minutes short of 5 hours to make his 91, and Sydney Smith, occupy­ ing 135 minutes in making 77, showed less aggression than usual. These two added 129 for the third wicket. Seymour and Walden scored faster; but of course they met bowling which had had much of the sting taken out of it. On Friday Northants showed a good deal below their best in the field. Rhodes (thrice), Hirst, and Drake w'ere all missed, and the ground fielding m ight have been better. Smith bowled well on a wicket that was not of the sort he would have chosen ; but Wells and East were missed. Murdin, a fast bowler brought straight from village cricket, showed considerable promise, in spite of being handicapped by a strained foot. Rhodes batted 4 hours, made many good strokes, and hit eleven 4 ’s. Denton and he added 96 in 80 minutes, and Drake helped him to put on 69; but it was H irst’s stubborn resistance— he was in 90 minutes— that was mainly instru­ mental in giving Yorkshire a first innings’ lead. The home side had lost William Denton when time came, and were 6 behind with 9 wickets to go. With 52 up next morning, Woolley and H aywood were also o u t; but then Thompson played with unwearied patience while Smith (missed in the slips at 7) drove in fine style, and 128 were added for the fourth wicket. Smith batted 155 minutes with only the one chance mentioned, and hit thirteen 4’s. The closure was applied soon after his departure; but there was never much likelihood of getting Yorkshire out in the 2 j hours left. Rhodes and W ilson, taking no risks, made 37 in an hour! Denton showed freer form afterw ards; but there would have been far more interest in the finish if the White Rose bats­ men had gone for the runs, and 227 in 150 minutes is quite possible, though Thompson’s steadiness m ight have made it difficult. First innings’ point-scoring has its drawbacks. First Innings. W. H. Denton, c Stanley, b Bayes Woolley (C. N.), c Dolphin, b Booth Haywood, b D rake............................ S. G.
