Cricket 1914

360 THE WORLD OF CRICKET. J u l y 18 , 1914. DERBYSHIRE v. LANCASHIRE. At Derby, July i t , 13, and 14. The County Palatine played very weak. Hornby, Spooner, Garnett, and James Tyldesley were all absentees. Derbyshire had Curgenven back, but lacked Baggallay. Forester won the toss, and on a capital wicket the home side showed to great advantage. Oliver got off the mark quickly, and made 55 of the 84 put up before the first wicket fell; Chapman and Bowden added 1 1 3 in 75 minutes for the second wicket, and Morton and Curgenven 130 in about an hour for the fourth. Chapman batted 140 minutes, with one chance, and hit 1 1 fours. Bowden, after reaching 50 in an hour, took 75 minutes to add 20, and was bowled by the first ball sent down by H. Tyldesley. Curgenven gave a couple of chances, but both were after he had reached 60 ; he hit in grand style, a six and 12 fours being included in his 86. Morton batted 135 minutes for his excellent 80. He, Slater, and Hurt were the victims of a hat trick by Bullough, who took the wickets with the last ball of one over and the first two of the next. At call of time the total was 43 1 for 8. On Monday the ninth wicket fell directly play was'resumed ; but Humphries and Horsley did so well that 93 were added for the tenth in 80 minutes. John Tyldesley, who had had a finger cut in attempting a catch on the first day, was able after all to bat ; and be and William Tyldesley made a useful stand for the second wicket ; but 7 were down for a little over 100. At this stage Ernest Tyldesley and Boddington made a good stand, though the Oxonian left most of the scoring to his partner. They added 70. Tyldesley batted 15 0 minutes for his steady and patient 60. With the close of the innings for 204 play ceased for the day. On Tuesday Musson was soon out ; but William and John Tyldesley again made a stand and took the score to 84 for 1, at which point rain stopped play until after lunch. The two Tvldesleys added 72 in all for the second wicket, taking 80 minutes over the runs ; then John Tyldesley and Sharp had a capital partnership of 111 in 75 minutes. The hero of a hundred fights just missed his century ; he had batted 160 minutes, giving no chance, and hitting 6 fours. Sharp’s was also a really good innings, his 55 being made in 95 minutes. The rest of the play was deadly dull, and towards the end, when Forester treated Boddington and Whitehead to grubs, almost farcical. But the object in view was achieved, and Derbyshire took only first innings’ points. D e r b y s h i r e . L. Oliver, b Huddleston .. J. Chapman, cTyldesley (W.), b Bullough Bowden, b Tyldesley (H.)

Each side tried new men, the Oxonian, C. E. S. Rucker, and Lowe appearing for Kent, and H. O. Bloomfield and D. Grahame for Surrey. Grahame’s bowling proved very effective, accounting for 5 for 49 in Kent’s first. Sandham played a fine innings for Surrey, and, 91* at the close of play on Monday, carried his score to 117 on Tuesday. Kent played up far better in their second innings, and Dutnall was seen to especial advantage, making 108* (13 fours), with only one chance, and that quite late in his innings. An earlier declaration might have been risky : but there was not much point in declaring at all as matters stood. Surrey took first innings’ points. K e n t II. First Innings. J. C.

MONMOUTHSHIRE. At Sidmouth, July 13 and 14. On the first day 12 wickets realised 515 runs. The Monmouth captain and E. T. James batted well, and several other batsmen made useful scores ; but no one found the Devon bowling quite as easy as the Damnonian batsmen found that of Gwent when their turn came. They had 244 for 2 up by call of time, Reed narrowly missing a century, and Fulcher and Hargrave Carroll hitting hard. On Tuesday the last-named ran into three figures, as Wreford might also have done, given a few minutes longer. And the time could have been spared, for soon after four o’clock the visitors w’ere all out, no one having made any long stay against the bowlrng of Fishwick and Tight. The ex-Hampshire man had an analysis of the Barnes type. Devon won by an innings and 133 runs. M o n m o u t h s h ir e . .. 204 D e r b y s h i r e B o w l e r s ’ A n a l y s i s .

W a l h a m G r e e n (245 for 6, dec.) and Old Olavians (117 for 5, dec.). W. J. Williams took 2 wickets with his first 3 balls ; but then the Walham Green batting strength asserted itself, H. W. Weston making 97 ( it fours), M. Moss 55, P. Capps 37, W . Islip 26*. and H. N. Moss 21. For Old Olavians P. Brownlow scored 48, W. J. Williams 26, D . Oake 21*. Five of the eleven batsmen dismissed during the match were left-handers—rather an unusual proportion. D e v o n B o w l e r s ’ A n a l y s i s .
