B. PRY. Played at B righton on J u ly 2, 3 and 4. Drawn. In this match both teams were seen to advantage, and although Sussex had to do without the services of Ranjitsinbji, owing to a sprain, eo many men did well for them that they did not really seem to miss him much. But possibly if he had been playing and had got settled, he might have made runs so quickly that Sussex would have had time to win. As it was the interest wan sustained until very nearly the end of the match, for there was just a possibility that Surrey might fail to play out time in the second innings. On the first day Surrey kept in until only half-an- hour remained for play, and on the whole they had reason to be satisfied with their cricket, for, although Abel and Leos failed, Holland, Hayward, Hayes and Walker gave an excellent account of themselves. The first two put on 131 for the first wicket, and were together at lunch time. But with the first ball after the game was resumed Hayward was out to a fine one-iianded catch in the slips; he had batted splen­ didly for a couple of hours. Hayes joined Holland, and at once began to make his presence felt. Chiefly from his bat 61 runs were put on in the next half- hour before Holland was dismissed when within three runs of his hundred, after playing a faultless innings for two hours and a half. Two wickets were down for 198, and things looked exceedingly well for Surrey. But Abel and Lockwood were both dismissed very cheaply, and although Walker put on an in. valuable 40, the tail, with the exception of Clode, did very little. Hayes was only batting for an hour and a half for his brilliant innings of 81, which in­ cluded a five and twelve fours. The last five wickets fell for 64 runs. Before stumps were drawn Sussex had made 34 without loss. On Friday, the Surrey bowlers had a trying experience, for at the end of a long day they had only got rid of five Sussex bats­ men, while the total of their own side had been exceeded by 131. Fry and Vine increased the over­ night total to 93 before Ihe latter was dismissed for £8, which had been put together in an hour and a half; Fry and Killick added 163 in two hours, and Fry and C. L. A. Smith, 74 in forty minutes. All this time Fry had been playing magnificent cricket, driving as usual with great power, and also playing very well all round the wicket; when his innings came to an end, he had been batting for four hours and forty minutes, and his hits included twenty-six fours. Newham and Brann, having survived chances, remained together until the end of the day, having added 107 runs in an hour and a half. The total was 472 for five wickets. On Sat­ urday it socn became a question whether Sussex could make runs quickly enough to be able to declare with a possible chance of winning. Brt-nn and New­ ham were soon parted, for only another 12 runs had been added when Brann was dismissed after playing excellent cricket for two hours. Newham left after 11 more runs had been made, having batted in his most finished style for two hours and a quarter, and at half-past one the innings was declared, Sussex leading by 201 runs. Of course, there was a chance that there might be time to finish the match, pro­ vided that Suirey did not show up well in tleir second innings, but as they had no possibility of winning, they set themselves out steadily to play for a draw and accomplished their object without very much difficulty, although there were times when things looked bad for them. The most critical period was when half the wickets were down just after Abel and Walker had been quickly dismissed, but then Lockwood and Lees kept together until just before time, and the match was saved.

Sossix. NOTTS v. LANCASHIRE. AN INNINGS OF 247 BY R. H. SPOONER. TWO SEPARATE HUNDREDS BY A. O. JONES. Played at Trent Bridge on July 2, 3 and 4. Drawn. This match was played on such a splendid wicket that the tatsmen were seen to the very greatest advantage, and after Notts had made a large score, Lancashire went one better. At no time during the game did they let the grass grow under th^ir feet, and when play ended on Saturday 1,163 runs had been scored for the loss of twenty-three wickets. A brilliant commencement of the Notts first innings was made by A, O. Jones and Iremonger, who, in the course of two hours and a half, put on 2C5 runs for the first wicket. After this anything was possible, and no one was surprised that by the end of the day the Notts total had reached the formidable figures of 396 for eight wickets, although, with the exception of the 50 made by W. Gunn, the scores were small. On tbe next morning the last two wi<kets added 31 runs, and lancashire, with practically no chance of win­ ning, were not in a very enviable position, for they might easily have been beaten. They began badly enough by losing A. H. Hornby for tlree, but Spooner and Tyldesley then played such admirable cricket that when they were parted they 1ad put on 206 runs in two hours and three quarters, so that Lancashire, for the loss of two wickets, were now in about the same position as Notts on the previous day for the loss of one wicket. Eccles helped Spooner to put on 83, and when stumps were drawn the total was 359 for six wickets, Spooner being not out 176. These runs had taken him five hours to make. The innings was by no means over, and the last four wickets were very difficult to get, Spooner continuing to play fine cricket, while he received valuable assist­ ance from Littlewood for the eighth wicket, which put on 123 in an hour and three quarters. Spooner was eventually disposed of after batting for seven hours, his score including twenty-nine 4*s. He was always patient, but, especially after he had made about a hundred, he at times made fine drives. Notts began their second innings juBt before lunch, and long before the second wicket fell the arrears had been knocked off, Jones and William Gunn put­ ting on 137 in a couple of hours. The only remain­ ing question of interest was whether Jones, who was again in splendid form, would succeed for the second time in the match in making a hundred, and some time before stumps were drawn he had the pleasure of accomplishing the feat, though he was out im­ mediately afterwards. The match was prolonged a little beyond ihe usual time in order to allow J. Gunn to make his 50. Ihis seems tobeanew development. N o t t s . First innings. Second innings. A. O.
