248 THE WORLD OF CRICKET. J u n e 13 , 19 14 . A t Leeds, June 8 and io — second day, a blank through rain. It was unfortunate that the renewal of fixtures after a lapse of two or three years between these neighbouring counties should have been associated w ith bad weather. The home side was at full strength ; but D erby­ shire lacked Baggallay and Chapman, and left out Humphries and Root. Beet kept wicket, and Bowden, W ild, Bracey, and Gladwin came in. The last-nam ed is a fast (or fast medium) bowler who did well for D erbyshire II v. W arwickshire II at W hitsuntide. The first ’ d ay was showery, and D erbyshire did not show up too well. Oliver played a good in n in gs; Morton batted 100 m inutes for his 46, and Bowden m ade a few very well. Booth and D rake were too much for the rest. In half-an-hour at the end Rhodes and W ilson accumulated 18 for their side. H eavy rain followed, and no p lay was possible on Tuesday. Thanks m ainly to W ilson, who departed to some extent from his usual methods, runs came more freely in the morning. Denton and W ilson (who batted 3 hours in all) m ade a good stand, and though not m any more were scored after their departure W hite was able to declare with 9 wickets down. Cadm an had bowled well. Derbyshire collapsed on a difficult pitch for 90 (seven of the team only m aking 14 runs between them), and Yorkshire won by an innings and 5 runs. Rhodes, exactly suited b y the pitch, bowled in great form, and was well-nigh unplayable. D e r b y s h ir e . First Innings. L.

Oxford— a stronger side than it looked on paper, too, for some of the men playing who are not regular first-class cricketers are quite first-class in ability. From the Light Blue side Lagden, F air­ bairn, and Baker were absentees; Vincent, the old H aileyburian, had a trial, and Brow ne and H ylton-Stew art got a further chance each to m ake good. The first d ay’s p lay was frequently interrupted b y showers, and its only prom inent feature was a capital innings of 57 b y Captain M cLoughlin (whose name is also rendered McCloughlin and McCloughin, and which is right one really doesn’ t know). Tues­ day’s play was again interfered w ith b y rain. Falcon bowled in deadly form, but was very liberal with the no-balls. In the Foresters’ second M clver and Arnold m ade a stand of 64 after tw o w ickets had fallen for 14, and at the time when rain closured p lay the visitors seemed well on top. The last 6 wickets went pretty cheaply in the morning, and the Light Blues were set the quite possible task of getting 220 to win. Davies, the old Rossallian, bowled particularly well, and it was largely due to him that his side entered upon the last stage with good hopes of success. These hopes were somewhat discounted when W ood, H opley (who seems to have no luck), and Calthorpe went cheaply. Morrison’s departure soon follow ed; but Mulholland and Vincent made an excellent stand at this juncture, and later the cool­ ness and pluck of D avies and Naum ann at the crisis pulled their side through by one wicket. Falcon again bowled finely. M ID D L E SE X v. W A R W IC K S H IR E . A t Lord’s, June 8, 9, and 10. The visitors played G. W . Stephens and Hands for Langley and S a n ta ll; Middlesex were w ithout W arner, Doll coming in. Has the veteran of the side been dropped ? W ith his batting development recently— he no longer scores m ost of them “ round the com er ” — he ought still to be worth a place. O nly three hours’ p lay was possible on Monday. A t the outset the m idland side seemed likely to be dismissed cheaply, for after Kinneir and Parsons had put up 50 for the first wicket 5 were down for 105. Parsons, who is earning golden opinions this year, was fifth to go, after 100 minutes at wickets for his excellent 59. Baker and Sm ith made a good stand for the seventh wicket, adding 48 ; and when rain stopped play at 4.15 the total was 192 for 8. H ands backed up Baker so well on Tuesday morning that the ninth w icket m ade the best stand of the innings (65), and the total reached 233. The Lancashire-born man’s 68, made in 2 hours, was an every w ay adm irable innings, and em inently valuable. H eam e bowled his googlies with great effect, and, though punished at time, stook 8 wickets. Tarrant and Robertson gave the home side a splendid send-off. On a dead pitch and in a bad light they made 82 in an hour before lunch, and in all their association realised 175 in 135 minutes. Robertson hit a couple of sixes and 10 fours in his fine 95, and was out to a catch that was either very brilliant or very lucky— perhaps Field, who at mid-on shot up his left hand and took a very hard hit, alone could tell which. Tarrant was slower than the old Harrovian, taking 3 hours over his 82. Once they were parted a struggle for runs on a pitch no longer as easy as it had been ensued. Hands got 3 wickets very quickly, and but for Litteljohn Middlesex m ight well have finished on the wrong side. W arwickshire had 35 minutes to bat in a wretched yellowish-grey light at the close, scored only 17, and lost Parsons. On W ednesday they collapsed before Tarrant on a wicket that exactly suited him, and were all out for 69. Middlesex won by 10 wickets, the result being another triumph for Tarrant.
