T he Annual Tour of the Granville (Lee) C.C. commenced on Thursday, August 11. In the first match at Horsham the visitors won the toss, and putting the home team in dismissed them before lunch time for 48. Perch took seven wickets for 23 runs. Granville totalled 114, Godfrey batting well for 40. Etheridge for Horsham took eight wickets for 35. The home team did better in their second innings, making 72 for six wickets. Granville won by 66 runs on the first innings. Eastbourne were next met on the 12th and 13th. Gran­ ville batting first, ran up the fine score of 319, to which Ciarkson (73) and Godfrey (56) were principal contributors. Against this the home team made 209 (L. A. Shuter 54) and following on added 132 for one wicket. E. Matheson was not out 69, and when rain stopped play the match was left drawn in a very even condition. Devonshire Park was the next match, on the 15th and 16th. Here the home team batted first and scored 84 and 77, The visitors, who made 152 and 10 for two wickets, won by eight wickets. Perch batted well for 63. Will­ ingdon were played the next two days, Willingdon declaring their innings closed at 209 for four wickets. J. Hide 63 (not out), E . Mayfield 60, and Lavender 55, were top scorers. In reply, the visitors only made 76 and 70. Hide in the two innings had the fine analysis of 68 for 12 wickets. Rain again interrupted play on the second day. Morris, for the losers, carried his bat through the second innings for 34. The match with the South Saxons was the last of the tour. It was unfortunately wet again, and only a short time was available for play on Friday. Splendid weather prevailed on the concluding day, when an early start was made, and a full day’s cricket took place. Granville scored 150, Clarkson again playing well for 65, and Morris 26. Against this, the home team made 80, Godfrey taking seven wickets for 24 runs. The visitors did badly in the second innings, losing six wickets for 34 runs, and being 104 runs on and 4 wickets to go down, the match was left drawn. This concluded an enjoyable tour,with two matches won, two drawn, and one lost* T he following innings of a hundred and over have come under our notice since last week:— Barton, D., St. Mark’s v.

KENT. The Kent eleven were seen to particular advan­ tage in their return match with Sussex,sbegun at Brighton on Monday. They were fortunate enough to win the toss, and with a wicket all in favour of run-getting were batting until past one o ’clock on Tuesday afternoon. The comm encem ent did not give great promise of an exceptional bcore, as Alec Hearne and Mr. Weigall were both out with the total only 29. Mr. Stewart, however, proved a very useful partner for Mr. Patterson, and when the form er was out before lunch for a well played 50, the total had been increased by 72 runs. Later in the afternoon, with the exception of Messrs. Solbe and Kemp, the Kent batsmen gave trouble to the Sussex bowlers, and at the end o f tho day only seven wickets were down for an aggregate of 332 runs. Mr. Patterson’s 66 was an admirable innings in every way. At the finish Mr. Fleming and W right added 83 runs, and were both still in, the form er with 130, the latter with 27 to his credit. Mr. Flem ing did not survive long on Tuesday morning, being caught at the wicket in Tate’s second over. He had been batting for over three hours and a half. Ho gave a chance to mid- on when he had made 49, and might have been run out just after he had completed his hundred. Altogether, though, it was a fine display of free cricket, and his 131contained no lees than fifteen fours. Martin, w ho came next, helped Wright to mako another stand, scoring 84 out o f 55 runs. Walter Hearne, the last man, stayed whi'e 27 were added, and was then out lbw, leaving W right to carry out his bat. He had been in altogether for two hours and forty minutes, and his 70 was a highly creditable display o f sound and steady cricket. Sussex, who went in at 1.30 on Tuesday, only made a fairly good start, and when rain stopped play for half an hour 141 runs had been scored, for the loss of half the side. Mr. Heasman, who had gone in first wicket down, was fifth out at that total, having been batting for two hours and forty minutes for his 48. On resuming, Mr. Brann hit with great freedom, and at the end o f the day the total was 189 with seven batsmen out. Yesterday morning Mr. Brann, who was not out 78 overnight, saw Humphreys and Butt out, and with his dismissal the innings came to a close for 229. Mr. Brann was batting just under three hours, and his 105 was a lino exhibi­ tion o f free cricket in his best style. Following on in a minority of 193 at 12.50, the doubt was whether Sussex would be able to avert a defeat. Nor was the commencement altogether promising, as al­ though Messrs. Hea'm an and Newham both played well, six batsmen were out. with the total at 95. A s in the previous innings, though, Mr. Brann cam e to the rescue o f his side, and his resolute cricket saved the m atch for Sussex. Guttridge lent him valuable assistance, and their stand which resulted in an addition of 76 runs in an hour and fifty m inutes, made a draw fairly certiin. Mr. Brann was out with the total at 212, when only a quarter of an hour remained, and in the end, the game w as drawn with Sussex thirty runs on, and one wicket in hand. Mr. Brann’s batting was of course the feature o f a run-getting m atch. His perfor­ mance in scoring a hundred twice has only been equalled in first-class matches by one bats­ man, Mr. W. G. Grace. In the second innings he made 101 out of 150 while in, in two hours and fifty minutes, and except that he cut a ball hard to G. Hearne at point, when he had made 76, there was no flaw iu a remarkably fine exhibition of batting. K e n t . S u s se x . A. Hearne, c Butt, b Guttridge ........... 7 Mr. H. C.
