Cricket 1914

A u g u s t 8, 1914. THE WORLD OF CRICKET. 421 of the rowdy section among the spectators, stayed nearly two hours together, and added 75. George Gunn was out directly afterwards ; but John Gunn and Carr added 54, and after the fifth wicket had fallen at 166 the former and Payton put on 64 more unparted. On Wed­ nesday they carried their partnership to 113, when Gunn was out, having batted 3 hours for his valuable 88. He was let off in the slips at 10. Rain came on a few minutes after his dismissal, and con­ tinuing for some time caused the abandonment of the match. S u r r e y .

At Edgbaston, August 3, 4, and 5. The visitors lacked Chester, down with quinsy. Showers broke up the day’s play, and in all only about 2 \ hours’ cricket was possible. During that time Worcester­ shire, in spite of some wretched fielding, were all out for 122, and Warwickshire lost Kinneir’s wicket for 19. Jeeves bowled in great form, and after being comparatively ineffective in the earlier part of the season, now seems even better than he was last year. On Tuesday only about 75 minutes’ play was possible, the home side raising their total to 82 for 4 wickets. On Wednesday, after a long wait, due to rain, the innings was continued, and Warwickshire earned three points. Worcestershire batted again ; but there was no object in further play, and the cheap dismissal of four batsmen really signified little. W o r c e s t e r s h i r e . First Innings.

Hornby, needed by the War Office in connection with horse-buying business, and Whitehead were replaced by Spooner and Parkin, and E. R. Wilson came into the Yorkshire team in place of Claude Burton. Rain prevented play before 3 o’clock, and it was an open question whether the pitch was really fit then. Makepeace and John Tyldesley added 50 for Lanca­ shire’s second wicket, and Sharp batted in his best form, making 53 of 77 while in. The innings closed for 162, and at call of time Yorkshire had scored 8 for o. Three were down for 51 next morning ; but Denton and Rhodes added 70 for the fourth wicket, and eventually Yorkshire had alead of 28. Dean bowled in quite his old form. Lancashire played feeble cricket against Drake and Booth in their second innings, and were all out for 183. Before call of time Yorkshire had 5 up (off 5 overs) without a wicket, and on Wednesday they won with all their wickets standing. L a n c a s h i r e . First Innings. Second Innings. R. H.

The home side played G. A. T. Vials and S. T. Askham (a Wellingborough boy) for A. D. Denton and Walden, and Leicestershire gave Middleton a trial. On a rain-spoiled pitch Brown bowled with great effect, and 6 wickets were down for 54, only Haywood, who exercised unusual restraint, having done anything "thus far. Vials batted capitally, and he and East added a very useful 34 ; but the best stand of the innings (35) was made fo r the last wicket by Askham and Buswell. When Leicester­ shire batted Thompson received a disabling blow after taking one wicket for 4, and his enforced retirement severely handicapped his side. Four were out for 54 ; but King and Coe then added 75, and were still unseparated at call of time. Coe failed to increase his score on Tuesday, but King went on to make 124, batting 3 hrs. 50 min., with no chance until n o . When Northants batted again 5 were out for 28, and at that stage an easy victory for Leicestershire looked probable. But a fine innings by Sydney Smith gave his side a chance. Woolley and Askham (who batted 45 minutes for 3) gave him help ; but it was Wells who aided him to add 78 for the ninth wicket, who proved his most efficient partner. Set 84 for victory, Leicestershire lost 3 for 11 before the close. On Wednesday they found themselves struggling hard on a difficult pitch, and eventually Northamptonshire brought off a remarkable victory by 4 runs, in spite of plucky efforts by King and Coe.
