Cricket 1913

CR I C K E T : A W E E K L Y RECORD OF THE GAME. September 6 , 1913. Leicestershire v. Hampshire. A t Leicester, September 2 and 3 — no play Motnday, owing to rain. There never looked to be much chance of a finish in this match, and its chief features of interest were Bowell’s excellent century and Newman’s effort to reach his 1 ,0 0 0 runs. The latter has already over 1 0 0 wickets to his credit. He needed 6 4 runs, and was given all possible chance to make them, being sent in first each time, but failed by 2 5 . Bowell showed fine form on the dead wicket. In for something like 3 i hours, he gave only one chance (at 3 4 ), and hit eleven 4 ’s. His captain and he added 1 1 0 for the fifth wicket in 9 0 minutes. Stone and Kennedy, unparted, added 5 4 before the closure was ap­ plied. Most of the home batsmen made runs easily, and but for a useful bit of bowling by Remnant towards the close Hampshire might have failed to secure first innings’ points. H a m p s h ir e .

Mason’s Kent XI. A t Old Buckenham Hall, Attleborough; September 2 and 3 — no play on Monday, owing to rain. The sides were strong, although a sprained wrist kept out A. C. MacLaren, who way to have captained Mr. Robinson’s team, and Kent lacked Dillon, Woolley (injured), Day, and Hubble. Rain washed nearly all the interest out of the game, and a very early drawing of stumps (at 4 o’clock) took place on Wed­ nesday to enable some of the players to get to Scarborough. Bosanquet hit splendidly for 7 9 in 9 0 minutes; Humphreys (6 9 in 8 5 minutes, with ten 4 ’s) and Seymour (one 6, five 4 ’s) played capital cricket for Kent, and the Pembury man reached 2 ,0 0 0 for the first time in his career. Bames and Carr carried off the chief bowling honour, though Blythe and Fielder had a spell of success checked by George Gunn and Hendren, when the scratch XT. batted a second time.

M clver, and one or two others in the 900’8are unlikely to be playing again, ihe only probable additions to the 1000 runs list are:— G. L . Jessop ( 990 on bepiember 3 ), Smith (E. J.) (973), F. L. Fane (893), and Hubble (888). Unless F. R. Foster (92 wickets) plays in the match at the Oval, on September 15, no one else is likely to join the bowlers’ list. Cricket in Scotland. By H a m is h . Perthshire finished another successful season when at Perth they defeated Stenhousemuir, who previously this season had only had one loss recorded against them. Sten­ housemuir w'ere dismissed for 1 0 3 , and Perthshire followed with 1 3 5 for five wickets. Out of twenty matches the County Club won 1 3 , lost 2 , and drew 5 , averaging 2 4 .5 3 per wicket against their op­ ponents’ 1 2 .7 4 per wicket. J. A. Fergusson, who heads the batting averages, has again had a capital year, his figures reading:— Innings. Times Not Out. Highest Score. Total Runs. Average. 16 5 117 760 69*09 The only batsman in Scotland likely to beat these figures is W. I’. Turnbull, Stewart’s Oollege (F.P.), whose record was given last week, but, of course, the former has on the whole had the better bowling to face. The brunt of the attack has fallen on Benskin, who cap­ tured 8 0 wiekeits at a cost of 8 .4 8 each. Outside the county matches he has taken an additional 27 wickets, bringing his total bag for the s(eason up to 1 0 7 . One ought not to forget either the work of J. A. Fergusson in the slips where he brought off 2 3 catches, five in succession in one match.
