Cricket 1913

J u ly 19, 1913. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 421 Derbyshire v. Somerset. At Derby, July 14, 15, and 16. Though nothing seemed wrong with the pitch, batsmen could do little right on Monday, 17 wickets falling for 258. Somerset would have fared ill but for Len. Braund, the veteran’s excellent and invaluable 86 representing nearly half, the runs from the bat. With Hyman he scored 58 for the first wicket, but afterwards Morton (whose figures speak for themselves) bowled irre­ sistibly. Braund defended for nearly three hours, hit eight 4’s, and gave a difficult chance at 50. Some rank bad batting was seen by the Peakites, who' in seventy minutes lost 7 for 67, five of which fell to Robson. They would have fared still worse but for a plucky bit of hitting by Morton. The effort closed next day for 103, or 88 behind, Bracey and Forester putting up 29 for the last partnership. Robson and White halved the ten wickets at moderate cost. When Somerset resumed operations Morton again found his spot. There was a pleasing consistency about three of the bats­ men— Hyman 48, Poyntz 49, and Robson 42— and the two latter took the score from 89 for four to 178 for five w'ickets (just double) in less than the hour; but nobody else did anything at all. Morton’s match record of 13 for 118 was a fine one, granted that the conditions helped. The game m ight have been over on Tuesday but for a weather delay of nearly an hour. With Cadman l.b.w., Beet run out, and only Oliver showing decent form, 5 for 70 was the state of affairs at the close. Needing 203 on Wednesday, the Peakites made a valiant but unavailing effort, and were defeated by 59. That they did so well was almost wholly due to Baggallay, whose brilliant 88 included some fine drives. He and Braund were the only two in the match to reach 50. First Innings. S o m e rset.

At Old Trafford, July 14, 15, and 16, before 5,000 people. Hornby evidently likes the westerners’ bowling, for he “ took ” his second century against them this year. He also won the toss for the thirteenth time in seventeen events, but his men did not support him well. That is to say, at one time 194 were up for only four men, after which four more went down for 11. Hornby, whose only lengthy partnership was one of 74 in an hour w ith John Tyldesley, took three hours and twenty minutes in getting his 102 out of 173. His only life was at 84, and he made eight boundary hits. Dennett bowled admirably. Against the moderate total of 232 Gloucestershire scored on Monday evening 18 without loss. Bad light stopped play for fifty minutes soon after the resumption on Tuesday. At lunch only 127 for 6 were on the board; but Sewell showed such good form for his 51 in 80 minutes (five 4’s) that the total eventually came to within 27 of Lancashire’s. Most marked was the contrast between Dipper and Nason, the one batting 80 minutes for 23 and the other hitting eight 4’s in a merry 45 out of 70 in an hour. Whitehead’s bowling figures singularly resembled those of Dennett. Hornby, who is at the top of his form just now, and Makepeace scored 87 in 70 minutes when the home side re-started. An interesting incident of their stand was that while it was in progress each man completed his 1,000 runs— a very rare coincidence. Make­ peace stayed i f hours for his 39. With the pitch increasingly difficult, seven were down for 154 on Tuesday evening. Next morning was seen some bright cricket by MacLeod, but Dennett, at his deadliest, accounted for eight victims, and it will be seen the three Tyldesleys only subscribed 22 all told. Gloucester were set 233 for victory, and the closing stage produced an interesting fight. The lunch-score was 102 for 3 (all taken by MacLeod), and after the interval Nason, as in the first innings, gave a taste of his quality. He scored just 100 in the match, Dean, who is playing in marvellous form now, clean bowling him and three others. There was very little else in the batting, and Lancashire won a sporting contest.by 59. First Innings. A. H. Hornby, c Nason, b Dennett Makepeace, c Green, b Dennett Tyldesley (J.
