The match between these two teams in June at Jesmond had been won by Northumberland. For the winners, there was 1 six and 8 fours, and 7 fours respectively in Frank’s two innings of 62 and 61 not out. Washington’s 61 not out contained 7 fours. In the Yorkshire first innings, Frank and Smith put on 50 for the last wicket, of which Smith scored 1. Of Frank’s 62, the last 50 runs were scored in fifteen minutes. For the losers, there were 4 fours and 9 fours respectively in Clayton’s two innings of 51 and 55. Hansell’s 83 contained 12 fours. [An alternative version of this score found in the Yorkshire scorebook and yearbook, gives in the Northumberland second innings Wainwright bowling 13 overs; in the Yorkshire first innings Elsey bowling 15 overs; in the Yorkshire second innings Marshall bowling 6 overs, Lowings conceding 52 runs and Hill 19 runs. The version adopted, based on Northumberland sources and The Yorkshire Post, is supported by the published Northumberland averages.] [Missing: In Yorkshire 1 st inns who bowled no balls.] Sources: Yorkshire Scorebook; Yorkshire Year Book 1902, p 152; Eastern Morning News 19,20 July; Sheffield Daily Telegraph 19,20 July; Yorkshire Post 19,20 July; Newcastle Daily Journal 19,20 July; Newcastle Daily Leader 19,20 July; The Sportsman 23 July.
