286 THE WORLD OF CRICKET. J u n e 27, 19 14 . LANCASHIRE't). SUSSEX. At Old Trafford, June 18, 19, and 20. Through the match at Lord’s each side lacked its captain, Garnett and Wilson taking charge. Sussex played Captain Burnham for the first time, and Bowden and William Tyldesley reappeared in the home team. Light failed, and there was no play after 4.20, but before that Lancashire had built up a fairly strong position. Garnett made 26 of the first 45, and after those two redoubtable warriors, John Tyldesley and John Sharp, had gone cheaply, a fine stand was effected by Makepeace and Ernest Tyldesley. They added 158 together before the younger man was out for 75, made in 2 hours, and including 10 fours. With his dismissal play ceased. On Friday there were partnerships of 35 for the fifth and 45 for the sixth wicket. The last 4 wickets went for 3 runs. Makepeace was ninth out after batting 5 hours. He hit 14 fours. With the exception of Wilson, the earlier Sussex batsmen did badly, and 4 wickets were down for 47. Bowley stayed with Wilson while 34 were added, and Cox helped the former Suffolk skipper to put 011 53. Wilson, who was missed in the slips at 26, otherwise batted very finely, making his 81 (out of 134) in 135 minutes. The catch which dismissed him was a very good one. Three more wickets fell with only 10 runs added ; but a plucky stand of 62 by Vincett and young Tate saved the follow on. At call of time Lancashire had made 52 for 1. The not outs, Makepeace and John Tyldesley, batted finely on Saturday, and in all their partnership realised 117 in 80 minutes. Lancashire’s second hundred came in 55 minutes. The innings was declared at 246 for 5, and Sussex were set 349 to get for victory. That they could not obtain the runs was obvious ; but they never looked like getting out. Wilson and Vine were not parted until 160 had been registered, the Willingdon man showing his best form for 86 (10 fours) in 150 minutes, and being unluckily run out when his century seemed certain. The amateur reached his hundred— a capital innings in every way— and stumps were drawn (according to arrangement) at 5.30. Lan­ cashire took first innings’ points.

Gauld came in to captain the side. Middlesex lacked Haig, engaged in the match at Lord’s on the Friday, but had E. L. Kidd’s help for the first time this season. On a first-rate pitch scoring ruled low— and slow. Notts took nearly 3J hours to make 190, the one stand of any note being 50 by Hardstaff and Lee in half-an-hour'for the second wicket. The last 5 wickets only added 16. Batting in a bad light, Middlesex lost four good men for 39, but Tarrant remained. There were two delays through rain, and the outlook was very threatening during the latter part of the afternoon. On Friday the Middlesex batting was as slow and laboured as that of Notts had been. Tarrant took his score to 52, and most of the remaining batsmen made runs ; but little enterprise was shown, and the total fell short of that of the home side by 2 runs. Batting again, Notts made 157 for 5 before the close, when Payton was 42*, Whysall 13*. The two went on, to add 116 in all, on Saturday, both batting really well. Payton’s 76, made in 2 hours (9 fours), and marred by only one chance, was his best innings for some time past. No one could stay with Whysall after he left, the veteran Hearne quickly getting three of the last four wickets. Weston, coming quickly off the pitch, took 4 for 49, and three of the men he dismissed are among the side’s best. Middlesex needed 233, a heavy task as the run of the match so far went; but they made the runs quite easily. Robertson played a really brilliant innings, reaching his 50 in 50 minutes, his 100 in 95 minutes, and making his 130 in 130 minutes, with 18 fours from strokes in all directions. Tarrant and he put up 105 before the first wicket fell, and he and J. W. Hearne added 102 for the second. Middlesex won by 6 wickets. N o t t in g h a m s h ir e . First Innings. Second Innings.

The Athletic News says that when Tarrant and J. W. Heame were in together v. Lancashire “ the world was in danger of a new and fearful record. It seemed that at last two batsmen would each compile 200 and upwards in one innings.” Why “ at last ” ? Perpend— Brown 300, Tunnicliffe 243, Yorkshire v. Derbyshire, 1898 ; Major R. M.
