Cricket 1914

242 THE WORLD OF CRICKET. J u n e 13, 19 14 . L A N C A S H IR E v. N O T T IN G H AM SH IR E . A t O ld Trafford, June 4, 5, and 6. Lancashire played J. C. H. H ollins (Eton and Oxford) for the first time, doubtless in recognition of his good form for the second X I v. Cheshire. H ornby was absent, and Cook and W hitehead replaced Bowden and Jam es Tyldesley. The visitors had Oates and W ass absent, owing to injuries, and did not p lay Alletson ; Richmond and W alker came in, and W hysall kept w icket— very well indeed, it m ay be added. In dull, cold weather, but before a good crowd, the County Palatine batted all day. They lost 2 for 13 ; but John Tyldesley and Sharp stopped the rot, and the former and his brother added 69 before the veteran was dismissed for an excellent 56. Ernest batted three hours for his solid 72 ; but Hollins livened m atters up, hitting a six and 5 fours in his 46. Huddle­ ston played really well, and must evidently be taken more seriously as a batsm an. On Friday a drizzling rain prevented play till after lunch. Notts lost 4 for 52, besides having John Gunn injured, and looked like being dismissed cheaply. But the Lancashire fielding went all to pieces— the wet ball no doubt handicapping the men— Iremonger was missed thrice and W alker twice, and these two added 82, while the older man and W hysall put on 51 more unseparated before the close. They took their partnership to 116 on Saturday morning. W hvsall batted 105 m inutes in excellent style, and hit 10 fours. John Gunn was now able to resume, and he and Iremonger added 103, Gunn getting one six and 7 fours in an innings played under difficulties. Iremonger’s m ost valuable but deadly dull and very lucky display lasted 6 hours 10 m inutes ! Nothing could tem pt him. and he only hit 6 fours in all. No great measure of importance attached to the remainder of the play ; but it was a pleasure to see Garnett get into his stride. He hit up 96 (13 fours) in 85 minutes. John Tyldesley also played good bright cricket. The crowd appreciated it, for Ire­ monger had bored the crowd stiff. Y et it was largely to Iremonger that N otts owed first innings’ points, and others besides the Jesuit fraternity hold that the end justifies the means ! L a n c a s h ir e . First Innings.

G L O U C E ST E R SH IR E . A t the United Services’ Ground, Portsm outh, June 4 , 5 and 6. C. B. F ry turned out for the first time since 1912, replacing Tennyson. Gloucestershire tried F. C. Troup, a Cheltenham College boy, son of W . Troup, who used to m ake very long scores (and to take his time over them) for the county when home on leave from India in former years. The most notable feature of the home side’s first innings was that F ry made top score, 41 (of the first 64), and batted in quite his old form. H ants had done very well up to lunch, but afterwards 7 wickets fell for 80. Gloucestershire had 3 out for 39 ; but Dipper and Sm ith then made a stand, adding 47 unparted before call of time. They staved next morning, though the wicket-keeper started in an y­ thing but convincing form. He played well later, however, and in all the partnership realised 147. Sm ith’s departure for his highest score thus far in big cricket was almost imm ediately followed by that of Dipper, who had batted 200 m inutes for his 94 (14 fours). W ith 7 down for 194 a lead on the first innings seemed d o u b tfu l; but Gange and Parker hit out, so well that quite a substantial one was attained. Hants lost Bowell early ; but F ry and Greig added 71 in little over an hour, and the old Oxonian and Mead put on 70 more unparted before call of time. The professional was soon out on Saturday ; but F ry went on to make 112 in his best style, w ithout a chance or even a bad stroke. He batted 195 m inutes, and hit n fours, driving finely and cutting more than is usual with.him . A fter his departure Brown and his captain made things hum, putting on 52 in half-an-hour, and Harrison was still more aggressive, hitting up 58 in 50 minutes. G lou­ cestershire had a trifle over 200 m inutes in which to m ake 279 for victory, and had 41 up in 25 minutes. But then Sewell, the one b ats­ man on the side from whom a big score in quick time could be expected, left, and the visitors had to struggle to avoid defeat. D ipper and Sm ith, by a stand of 73, seemed to have put them safe ; but when Sm ith left a series of disasters befel the western county, and w ith 35 minutes still to go seven w ickets were down. Gange stayed with Dipper for 20 m inutes ; but when the latter, ninth out, left there were still 6 minutes to go. Parker and Dennett m anaged to hold the fort, and Gloucestershire scored first innings’ points. T h ey owed this very largely to Dipper, who batted without a m istake for 200 m inutes for his 94. Mead made three excellent catches, and Newman and Kennedy bowled well. H a m p s h ir e . First Innings. C. B. Fry, b Parker .. .. 41 Bowell, c Fowler, b Dennett .. 5 Major J. G.
