The early batsmen of Middlesex , too, were in such good form that 199 was up whenthe fourth wicket fell . The tail though, failed completely , so muchso that the remaining bats- m e nonly added 44. A curious incident occurred while C PFoley was batting . A ball from Gutteridge rebounded from the wicket -keeper and removed the bails . Foley taking up one of the bails an appeal was made, and for some reason or other theumpire gave him out. Having persuaded the umpire to retract his decision , Murdochrequested Foley to go in, which he did, a courtesy reflecting great credit onthe Sussex captain . The great feature of the first innings of Sussex was the brilliant cricket of G. Brann. He was batting altogether four hours and forty minutes, andhis 159 was entirely free from a mistake . The second innings of Middlesex was disappointing ,with the exception of some free hitting by F. J. G. Ford, whomade57 of the total of 182. Sussex got 16 of the 80 wanted to win in thefirst over at thecost of Bean's wicket andthoughMarlow asbowledin the next over. Murdoch and Newhamquickly knocked off the remaining runs . Sussex w o nby eight wickets . Sussex 346 and 80 (two wickets ), total 426 ; Middlesex 243and182, total 425. (9) G e n t l e m e nv. P l a y e r s. July 10, 11 , and 12 . Excepting that Kent, Somersetshire , and Yorkshire were engaged , the full strength of English cricket was available for this match . The Gentlemenespecially werestronger than in the previous week at the Oval, and with ordinary luck they wouldhave been very near winning. As it was the heavy rain on the second night reduced the third day to little over an hour, and the game was drawn rather in favour of the Players . innings of the Players . G.
