[An alternative version of this score found in the Yorkshire scorebook and yearbook for the Yorkshire first innings gives Tomlin conceding 37 runs and Milne 34. All other sources, including The Yorkshire Post, give the runs conceded as 35 and 36 respectively, and this version is also supported by the published Northumberland averages. The latter version has been adopted.] [Missing: Complete.] Sources: Yorkshire Scorebook; Newcastle Daily Journal 15,17 June; Newcastle Daily Leader 15,17 June; Yorkshire Year Book 1902, p 148; Yorkshire Post 15,17 June; The Sportsman 15,17 June.
