Cricket 1913

470 CR ICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. August 2 , 19IS. Over Thirty v. Under Thirty. At Horsham, July 23. The influence of Mr. A. C. Oddie prevented a blank day during the Horsham Week. Only three of the 22 players in the Sussex v. Northants match finished on Tuesday— Philip Cart­ wright and the brothers Denton—were absent from the game played to fill up time, Jupp, A. C. Straker and J. Grounds being included instead of these. S. G. Smith and Vincett played for the Under Thirty side to strengthen its bowling, but in spite of this, the seniors won easily, Seymour and Wells playing good innings for them, and afterwards sharing the other side’s wickets. No fee was asked for by any player. O v e r T h ir t y . U n d e r T h ir t y . H . L.

Sussex v. Lancashire. At Horsham, July, 24, 25 and 26, before a crowd of 3,000. Chaplin won the toss but risked sending Lancashire in. At first he looked like being justified, as Hornby, Makepeace and Sharp all went for 15. But on J. and E. Tyldesley getting together they mastered the attack for 7\ hours and put on 149. John Tyldesley was at his very best, and made no mistake save a chance of c and b to Holloway when 11. He got his 107 in 150 minutes, and hit fifteen 4’s. His brother’s more deliberate but not less valuable 57 included five 4’s. With the elder Tyldesley’s downfall a collapse occurred. Albert Relf, who bowled admirably, had the distinction of being the first cricketer of 1913 to score 1,000 runs and take 100 wickets. Oddly enough, Holloway, taken off after bowling 10 overs for 3 runs and 2 wickets, was not re-tried till 196. Sussex, who were 16 without loss overnight, broke down utterly against Huddleston and Dean on Friday, and could not save the follow-on. The four scorers of two figures made 13 apiece, this 52 being out of 72- from the bat. The number of men 1. b. w. to Huddleston is also noteworthy. Though batting better the second time, Sussex had not saved the innings defeat on Friday evening, when 4 for 177 was the total—chiefly made up of 32 for the first by Vine and Wilson, 38 for the second by Vine and R. Relf, and 41 for the third by the two Relfs. Robert, quite deserting his free methods, took three hours for his 51. On Saturday the southern team made a fine fight. Fender and Lang added 52 in 35 minutes, and Cox and Lang 53 in 40 minutes. Lang, who was missed before scoring, got his 71 at the rate of nearly 1 per minute. The most exciting time of a capital match came when Lancashire went in with 178 to win. They lost Hornby, Makepeace, Sharp, and J, Tyldesley for 80, and eventually A. Relf and Vincett got them all out for 112, Sussex snatching a brilliant win by 65. Relf had the great record of 11 wickets for 108, and Huddleston for the losers 10 for 126.

On Thursday, July 24, a very strong side (12) got together by Mr. Malcolm Christopherson opposed a fifteen of the West Kent Wanderers and Dover Road clubs at the Rectory Ground, Blackheath, for the benefit of the Blackheath and Charlton Cottage Hospital. The band of the 20tli County of London Regiment added to the attractions of the'game’; everything went through without a hitch ; and a substantial sum will result for the good cause. Miss Sophy Smith's keenness and success in the matter of disposal of match cards deserves a special word of thanks. As to the game, Alec Hearne and H. Z. Baker made good scores in fine style, and the brisk hitting of C. J. T. Robertson—there were five 6 ’s and two 4’s in his 42—delighted the spectators. Dr. W . G. Grace bowled no fewer than 46 overs, and took 6 for 46, while T. Abel, of Surrey II, had five for 11. For the XV., Colin Tovey (W K.W.) with 36, and A. Ling, (Dover Road), with five for 27, showed up best. Mr. M. C uristopiierson ’ s S ide . C ombined XV , Dr. W. G. Grace, b Ling ... 4 C. Morrell (W), b Baker,............... 16 J.
