Cricket 1913

392 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y 12, 1913. T H E SCORE-BOOK. Bedfordshire v. Suffolk. At Bedford, July 2 and 3. Each side was playing its first match of the season, and each was under a new leader, H. R. Orr being now in Canada and H. L. Wilson playing for Sussex. Suffolk as usual were below full strength; but they made a fair start, Mortimer, Lake, and Titchmarsh all showing good form. When the home side batted, however, their bowling was made to look poor stuff, K in g and Holdstock putting up 150 before a wicket fell. Nicholas, the old Forest School boy, who was tried for Essex last year, 36* overnight, hit in great style on the second day a 6, a 5, and twenty-four 4’s being included in his big innings. Suffolk made but a moderate stand when they batted again, and were beaten by an innings and 91 runs. First Innings. S u ffo lk . Second Innings. H.

Titchmarsh 3 0 24 0 JMC.C. v. Oxford University. At Lord’s, July 3, 4, and 5. A weak side of M .C.C. had the assistance of Philip Mead, who, however, failed for once. By far the best batting for the Club was by M. W . Payne, the brilliant old Cantab, whose 50 in seventy minutes in­ cluded seven 4’s. Melle, who bowls right-hand medium, did some startling work after lunch, 5 of his 7 wickets being then taken for 11 runs. The Dark Blues fared no better than their opponents, though Campbell livened matters by hitting up 24 by means of six 4 ’s. On Thursday ’light nine men were out for 158, but next day Knott, profit­ ing by an escape in the slips, batted so nicely that the last wicket added 33 in twenty minutes. So far an equal game had been seen, but Oxford blundered badly in the field when M .C .C . went in again. It was not likely that Mead would fail twice, and he played a superb 75, taking few risks. But the champagne of cricket was seen earlier on, Payne and Tennyson’s first-wicket stand actually producing 175 in ninety minutes. Tennyson w as extraordinarily lucky, but his century included fourteen 4’s. Payne, whose flattering match record was the fine one of 50 and 64, contented him­ self w ith nine 4’s. This time Melle proved ineffective, his solitary wicket costing 88; but he was unlucky. On Satur­ day the Dark Blues wanted 374 to win. This task proved well beyond their powers, albeit Knott again hit in his finest form, completing his 50 in the hour and eventually running up 116. But he received little support, Clarke getting five wickets quite cheaply, and the Club won by 104. First Innings. M.C.C. Second Innings. M. W.
