J u n e 27, 1914. THE WORLD OF CRICKET. 285 The Score Book. CHESHIRE v. STAFFORDSHIRE. At Stalybridge, June 17 and 18. Cheshire do not often manage to extend their neighbours, and in this match they were quite outclassed. Apart from some good bowling by Hope, no one on their side did any­ thing of note. Barnes made top score of the match, and was as deadly as usual in Cheshire’s first ; in the second Morgan (now attached to a Lancashire club) and Sedgwick did the damage. Staffordshire won by an innings and 34 runs. S t a f f o r d s h ir e . J. B. Russell, c Coomber, b Hope H.

At Coventry, June 18 and 19. The visiting side had Jessop and Board back ; but they collapsed on a fiery pitch before Field and Foster, and were all out for 117. When Warwickshire batted the early part of the innings was a curious reproduction of that v. Yorkshire on Mon­ day. This time, as then, Parsons and Kinneir went cheaply, and following on their dismissal Charlesworth and Quaife made an excellent stand for the third wicket. A shower had rendered the pitch somewhat easier meanwhile. The two added 161. Both were a little troubled at the start, but batted finely later. Charlesworth hit one six and 22 fours, hitting out well, and getting his 115 in 100 minutes. At the close, when the score was 291 for 4, Quaife was 97*. On Friday he scored freely, and his association with Baker, continued from overnight, resulted in an addition of 178 for the fifth wicket. Quaife batted 225 minutes, and hit as many as 19 fours. Baker, scoring faster than usual, hit one six and 12 fours. Smith also made runs quickly ; but the tail end wickets fell quickly before Dennett, who usually gets a decent bag at some time or other in an innings— not by any means always towards the finish. The pitch, of course, did not suit him, and the faster bowlers on the visiting side seemed unable to take advantage of its pace ; but when Gloucestershire batted again the Warwickshire bowlers held the upper hand throughout. Dipper stayed a long time for 10, and Jessop made the one decent score ; but, without Field’s bow'ling a ball, and with Foster sending down only 5 overs, the western county collapsed for 94, Jeeves and Howell doing the damage. Smith made three catches in succession and four during the innings. War­ wickshire won by an innings and 197 runs. G l o u c e s t e r s h ir e .

Burton did not play for Yorkshire, and a trial was given to a new fast bowler, Whiting, who gave evidence on the first day that he was no duffer with the bat. There was a crowd of over 5000 on Thursday ; but the cricket they saw was scarcely worthy of the occasion or of the meeting of two such sides. Yorkshire never made runs easily, and their 227 took over 4 hours. Wilson and Oldroyd added 73 runs in partnership, and Sir Archibald White and Whiting put on 35 in 22 minutes for the ninth wicket. In the last hour Humphreys and Hardinge put up 68 unparted, and Kent looked well placed. On the second morning the score was taken to 99 before Humphreys left for 50. Hardinge and Seymour added 78 in 70 minutes. The latter’s dismissal was soon followed by that of the footballer, who had batted 3 hours for his 86 (9 fours). The bowling had now been fairly well worn down, and Woolley and Day added 99 in 65 minutes, 50 of them coming in a quarter of an hour after lunch. The association of Woolley and Hubble produced 80 in an hour ; Troughton and Hubble added 45 in 30 minutes, and the skipper and Fairservice 75 in 50 minutes. Woolley batted 140 minutes for his capital 96, which included 14 fours. Troughton hit the only 6 of the innings, which was curious in that a total of nearly 500 was made without a century or a three-figure partnership. Taking the last three wickets, Rhodes came out with an analysis flattering by comparison with the figures of his colleagues. On Saturday Yorkshire crumpled up before some deadly bowling by Day on a wicket which had worn somewhat, and were beaten by an innings and 149 runs. First Innings. Y o r k s h i r e . Second Innings.

D ., 4 7. K . White scored 55* ; but the Head, P. A. Fryer (Norfolk and Northants) was the biggest contributor to the total of 394 for 6, with 105 made quite in his old style.
