Im m ediatelj' after w riting an article to prove that the bowlers m ost to be dreaded b y a batsm an are those w h o bow l balls w h ich can be h it, M r. C. B . F ry proceeded to put his theory in to practice by playing one of the m ost brilliant in nings of his career, flogging the Leicestershire bcw ling unm erci­ fu lly after he had once passed his first fifty , not that he m ade nothing but slight taps in the early part of his innings. H e was not this tim e left alm ost alone to do the w ork for Sussex, as in the previous m atch against N otts, but by his splendid batting he m ade thin gs m uch easier for the other m en w ho scored. He had a succession of long partnerships du ring his in nings, pu tting on H8 with R elf ; 53 w ith M r. G oldie (during this partnership he was very q u ie t); 84 w ith K illick, and 94 w ith V ine. The~ result of all this lon g scoring was that Sussex had m ade 491 for 5 w ickets by the tim e that stum ps w ere draw n, and w ere thus safe from defeat. Mr. F ry was n ot out, 237. O f course the rest of the innings did not last too lon g on Tuesday m orning, for th e Sussex tail are sportsm en, but Leicestershire had a very heavy task to face. Mr. Fry only in­ creased his score by 5. H is fine iunings included tw enty-six 4’s, and lasted for five hours and fifty m inutes. Leicl^tershire played up w ell, but could not succeed in staving oflF defeat. S u sse x . C .B .F ry, lbw , b W oodC. L . A .

A lthough Yorkshirem en have been able to wear a com placent smile all through the season, while Surrey m en have obliged to shake their heads now and then, the interest taken 1q this m atch was as great as ever, fo r w hen Surrey is concerned it is never safe to cook your hare before you have caught it. As far as could be seen on M onday m orning the match was likely to be fought out on equal term s, except that the side which w on the toss w ould have the usual advantage, fo r the w icket seem ed in perfect order, while there was no imm ediate prospect o f rain. W hen Surrey w on the toss the spectators, num bering som e 18,000, settled themselves to m ake the best of things, fully expecting that when stumps w ere drawn the innings w ould not be com pleted. Unfortunately for Surrey the w icket at the beginning o f the match proved to be som ewhat fiery and exceedingly f-»st, so fast that the t atsmen w ho first went in were com pletely beaten by the pace of the ball. E irst bow led as fast as he possibly could and m et with extraordinary success, clean bow ling Brockwell, Hayes and Lockw ood in the first tw o or three overs—three w ickets for 4 runs. T he tw o m en on w hom Surrey o f late years have so o f ten had to rely were then together, but neither A bel nor H ayw ard was happy with the bow ling, and at the total at 13 A t el turned a tall from Rhodes into the hands of short slip. A lm ost imm ediately afterwards M r. Craw ford was bow led by the irresistible Hirst, and five wickets wete down for 16. Things could not have been worse if the Bradford ground had been flooded for days before the m atch. But H ayward was missed by Hirst and the tide shortly began to turn—not too late to save Surrey. W ith Mr. L eveson-G ow er as a partner Hayward was again m issed, and the total was raised to 62 when Mr. G ow er was out for a m ost useful 24; he played in place o f Mr. Jephson w ho had injured his knee. Mr. W alker, who seem s likely to be a valuable m em ­ ber of the team , was in no wise disturbed bv the un­ pleasant position in which his county found itself, and with a a> ward he added 66 for the seventh w ick et; he also was badly missed. The end soon cam e now, H ayward carrying his bat for 91, an inniners which was w orthy o f him , and which saved his side from disaster. I f som e o f the catches w hich were missed had been brought off the total made by Surrey w ould have been fa r less than 172. It was n ot to be expected for a m om ent that Yorkshire would collapse like their opponents, but they did nothing o f m om ent, and when stum ps were drawn had lost four wickets for 138, Mr. M itchell being not out 31 and H irst not out 10. On Tuesday H irst fell at once, so that Surrey were at this tim e n ot by any m eans badly off, but L ord Hawke played a particularly useful innings and helped Mr. M itchell to put on 71 runs for the sixth wicket, and eventually the total was 118 more than that o f Surrey, M r. M itchell carried his bat for 106. an excellent innings in every way, and alm ost, but not quite, as valuable to Yorkshire as H ayward’s 91 had been to Surrey. W ith a balance o f 118 against them Surrey began their second innings at ten m inutes to three, and by about half-past three they seem ed to have done for themselves. F or Brockwell was out with the total at 5, H ayes soon follow ed him , and at 34 Lockw ood went. There was now practically only one chance o f saving the position ; it was that A bel and H avw ard should both com e off. They began their partnership with the utm ost care and deliberation, and gradually played themselves in until they were masters of the situation. They never m%de a false stroke or a mistake o f any kin , and when at last Hayward got his leg in front o f the w icket they had brought the score to 169, their partnership producing 135 in tw o hours and a-quarter. Their cricket can only be described as perfect. E ven now things looked very gloom y, but by the tim e that stumps were drawn they had brightened up considerably, for M r. Crawford joined A bel, and, playing excellent cricket, helped him to raise the score to 224 without further accident. M r. Crawford was not out 29 and A bel not out 94. Surrey were now 106 runs on with six wickets in hand, so that after all their mishaps there was still a chance o f a fight. M ore than th a t; yesterday Yorkshire had to fight their hardest to save themselves from a very severe defeat. A little rain had fallen during the night, but A bel and M r. Crawford were not to be disposed of easily. A t last A bel was out after batting nearly four hours and-a- h a lf; his innings w hich was quite invaluable to his side. Mr. Crawford was m issed tw o or three times, but hit very finely in deed: he m ade his 110 out o f 174. H e and A bel and H ayward had saved the game. Mr. Gower and M r. W alker played well, and the innings was closed. Yorkshire then had a narrow escape of being defeated, but ju st m anaged to save themselves. S urrey . First innings. Second innings.
