Cricket 1913

512 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. August 16, 1913. Berkshire v. Buckinghamshire. At Reading, August 8 and 9. Reinforced by Captain C. G. Hill, H. Brougham, and Gordon Belcher, the home side were practically at full strength, while Bucks lacked several good men. D. A. D. Sewell made his first appear­ ance for the latter side. A big score seemed in prospect for Berkshire, the first two wickets sending up the 200; but Fairbairn and E. H. D. Sewell disposed of the rest pretty cheaply. Then Bucks failed before Doctor Wood- burn, who hitherto this season has had no success. Three or four men batted fairly well, but no one stayed long. On the second day, following on, they fared even worse, only Le Gros and the captain doing anything, and Berk­ shire won by an innings and 43 runs. Capt. L. P. Collins, st Franklin, b E. H. D.

Surrey. At Leicester, August 7, 8, and g. Leicestershire still lacked Shipman, and had Sidwell for Shields. It was a great triumph for two Surrey men, Hitch and Hayward. Though the latter and Hobbs scored 114 for the first wicket (their 35th stand of over 100 for Surrey, and their second 100-partnership of the week) in 85 minutes, they were so ill-supported that the total was under 250. Harrison (44* in two hours), Strudwick, and Spring were the best of the others, the latter’s dashing effort including a 6 and four 4’s. When Leicestershire batted, they could do simply nothing with Hitch, who, bowling at great pace, got his first four victims for 9 runs ! Coe (by far the best Leicester bats­ man in this game) alone shaped confidently for 40*. Though his side had a lead of 153, Bird did not make Leicester follow on, and they were eventually put in to make nearly 500. Yet another good start by Hayward and Hobbs realised 63 in 45 mins., the veteran (166 in the match) scoring his 101st century in big cricket! His three hours’ display was absolutely faultless, and he hit thirteen 4’s. Spring— now one of Surrey’s best all-rounders— again came off, hitting nine 4’s in a sparkling 60. The home team were 139 for 3 at the close of play on Friday. On Satur­ day, after the partnership of Lord and Coe had produced 103, the last six wickets fell for 50. Lord, who was in three hours for 77 (eight 4’s), played his highest innings to date for his county, and Coe’s stylish 61 was his best of the season. Hitch took in all 12 wickets for 135. Surrey won by 251 runs. S u r r e y . First Innings. Hayward, b G eary........................... Hobbs, c Sidwell, b C o e ..........................

Hampshire. At Taunton, August 7, 8, and 9. In this match, Philip Mead reached his 2000 runs for the season. Braund and Hylton-Stewart, both injured, were away from Somerset, and Tennyson and Abercrombie from Hants, while Hosie did not arrive in time to bat on Thursday. The ten Hants men available could only muster 123 against Bridges and Robson. Somerset fared little better, albeit Johnson (40, with six 4’s) and Daniell sent up 52 before a wicket fell. Very different cricket was seen on Friday. Hants scored a fine second total of 452, nearly every one doing well. The best stands were by Mead and Remnant (77 in 55 mins.), Mead and Brown (78 in 50 mins.), and McDonell and Newman (134 in 90 mins.). Mead was unlucky to be out three short of his hundred. He hit thirteen 4’s, and made no real mistake. Newton only let five byes and made four catches. Wanting 427, Somerset were heavily beaten on Saturday, heavy rain in the night giving them no chance. Daniell and Poyntz, both injured, were unable to bat. Johnson and Hyman scored 52 for the first wicket—yet the total only reached 77, and Somerset lost by 349! Newman did not go on to bowl till the total was 40, and then took 6 for 30. H a m p sh ir e .
