Beldam has over and over again showed his value to the Middlesex eleven it may be doubted whether he has ever done anything much better than his first irnings against Sussex on Saturday. True he only made twelve runs not out, and as things turned out his innings was not of much use except as an object lesson. But if only he could have found some other man to take care of the other end there is no knowing what might have happened. Unfortunately for his side the other man was not forthcoming, and although Beldam carried his bat right through the innings he was net able to help his side to make a drawn game. W h i l e the Surrey and Cambridge teams, not to mention spectators, officials, and members of the press, were waiting at the Oval on Friday for the wicket to dry there was a match at throwing the cricket ball between E. N. R. Blaker and Nice. The amateur, who was an easy victor, made a throw of 106 yards 2 feet. O ne hardly knows whether to con­ gratulate E. H. D. Sewell, because of the miserably wet season, or to condole with him. On the one hand he would have had a very much better chance of distin­ guishing himself if the wickets had been hard; on the other hand, so many other members of the team have done so badly that his own failures have not induced the committee to leave him out. That they have been wise in continuing to play him is beyond doubt, for he is a magnificent hitter and a splendid field, in fact, just the sort of man that the county has been wanting for years. After all he has made a score of fifty, which had not a little to do with the only victory of the team, and has, in addition played two or three innings of twenty. I n the general downfall of the Glou­ cestershire men at Tonbridge on Friday in their second innings G. L. Jessop stood out very prominently. He went in first with Wrathall, who was out with the total at four, which he had made himself. With the score unaltered W. S. A. Brown was out, and Jessop then proceeded to make the next 33 runs off his own bat. Then he, too, was dismissed, and the remaining seven wickets fell for 13 runs. I t is one of the most curious things in the history of the game that the Cambridge men who have played for Surrey of late years have hardly ever been successful for the county, however well they may have done for the University. One would think that the climax must have been reached last week when E. M. Dowson, who has proved but “ a qualified success,” as it S U G G / GU1 l o r d s r r N ' r o r r L iverpool '*" rKtt IVERPOOL
