8 4 LILLYWHITE'S CRICKETERS' ANNUAL. (5) Hampshirev. Yorkshire. Huddersfield, June 9 and10. Hampshireat its best andwith all the luck wouldhavefoundit difficult to beat Yorkshire . In this case it was only poorly represented , but in addition hadall the worst of the luck. Yorkshire winning the toss had all the best of the wicket , and Brown(88) and Tunnicliffe (50) did muchto assure success by putting on 85 before they were parted . As at SouthamptonHampshire found the Yorkshire bowling too muchfor them, though on the whole they made a better show with the bat. ThoughWebb's ten was the only double in the first innings , in the second there were four , A. J. L. Hill's 22 (8 and 14) was the highest aggregate on the side . Yorkshire won by an innings and 98 runs . Yorkshire, 226. Hampshire, 45 and83 ; total , 128. Wainwright(Yorkshire ) O v e r s. 3 4 M a i d e n s. 1 7 (6) H a m p s h i r ev. Leicestershire. Southampton, June 16, 17 and 18. R u n s. Wickets. 4 1 9 Fortunately for HampshireCapt. Wynyardwas able to take his place in the Eleven. H o wuseful his all -round cricket was can be judged from the fact that he scored 44 and 140, took two wickets , and madefour catches . Themost successful batsman on the side , after him, was Barton, whomade110 and 8. Leicestershire madea poor show in their first innings , and indeed the tail did most of the scoring . W h e nthey went in a second time nine of the Eleven scored double figures . Knight's 65 was the highest score , and at the finish Woodcockhit freely , carrying out his bat for 30. Still , Hampshiregot too long a lead on the first innings , and wonin the end easily with 145 runs to spare. Hampshire , 261 and 291 ; total , 552. Leicestershire , 167 and 240 ; total , 407 . (7) Hampshirev. Surrey. Portsmouth, July 7 and 8. With Capt . Wynyard and A. J. L. Hill both away Hampshire's batting was greatly weakened . Under the circumstances , perhaps , they did fairly well , to maketotals of 174 and 170. The best individual contribution was Capt. F. D. Quinton's second score of 48, and his aggregate of 76 was also the best on the side . W h e nSurrey went in Abel was bowled for a " duck." Brockwell , however , was in rare form , and his aggregate of 151 (109 and 42) did much to determine the result in favour of his side . Surrey won by seven wickets . Surrey , 249 and 96 (3 wickets ) ; total , 345. Hampshire , 174 and 170 ; total , 344 . (8) H a m p s h i r ev. Somersetshire. Bournemouth , July 11, 12 and 13. Agood win for Hampshire , and a fitting reward for pluck in playing an up-hill game. Somerset , though they went in second , thanks chiefly to an excellent score of 101 by Capt . Hedley , got a lead of 116 on the first innings . As Hampshire lost four good wickets , on going in again , for 16, Somersetshire seemed to have the gamewell in hand. As it was, the later batsmen of Hampshire played up in fine style , and the result was, considering the early failures , a very creditable total of 242. With only 128 to win Somersetshire appeared to have a fairly easy task . Tate , however , bowled with great success at the finish . Though H. T. Stanley (38 not out) and Tyler (20) did their very best , Hampshire won an exciting match by nine runs . Hampshire , 178 and 242 ; total 420. Somersetshire , 293 and 118 ; total , 411.
