It was the second highest partnership for that wicket during the season. For the visitors, there was 1 five, 4 fours, 2 threes and 5 twos in Washington’s 101, while Frank’s 45 included 1 six and 7 fours. For the home team there was 1 five and 8 fours in Wetherall’s 77 not out. [An alternative version of this score, based on Northamptonshire sources and The Yorkshire Post, has the Yorkshire innings total 275, Bedford scoring 7 runs, Thompson bowling 36.5 overs, East conceding 77 runs, Driffield 24 runs and Colson 30 runs.] [Missing: Complete.] Sources: Yorkshire Scorebook; Northampton Daily Chronicle 23 July; Northampton Daily Reporter 24 July; Northampton Herald 27 July; Northampton Mercury 26 July; Yorkshire Year Book 1902, p 153; Yorkshire Post 23,24 July; The Sportsman 23,24 July.
