As things turned out Sussex, by losing the toss, gained a considerable advantage, for most of the Leicestershire men failed badly on a good wicket. Five wickets fell for 42, and eight for 45. But Knight was playing steady cricket, and found at last a partner in Davis who could help him, witli the result that the next wicket did not fall until the total was 178, the partnership producing 133 in two hours and- a-quarter. Cox bowled exceedingly well. Sussex began well with Vine and Fry. bnt just before time the latter, after playing beautiful cricket for an hour and-a-half, was bowled in trying to play a straight ball to leg. When stumps were drawn the total was 82. On Tuesday Vine played his usual careful game, which has so often been of the greatest service to Sussex, and Killick remained with him until the total had been taken to 247. Killick was then caught at short slip, having made 104 in three hours and ten minutes. Vine brought his total to 100 after batting for four hours and three quarters—a most valuable innings to his side—and then was caught at mid-off. The rest of the Sussex team, with the exception of Relf, did very little indeed. Still, thanks largely to the fine stand by Killick and Vine, Sussex had a very useful lead of 164, and as they dismissed five of their opponents for 65 before stumps were drawn, they had an excellent chance of winning. Yesterday the match was over at one o’clock. When practising at the nets before play was resumed, C. B. Fry had his hand split. He was therefore unable to field* L eicestershire . First innings. C.

A SCOltE OP 255 NOT OUT BY W. G. QUAIFE^ AND A RECORD TOTAL FOR THE OVAL. Played at the Oval on May 22, 23 and 24. Drawn. When Surrey lost the toss there seemed a strong probability that Warwickshire would be at the wickets all day on Monday, but although the wicket was in perfect order, and although the fieldmen and the bowlers were handicapped by the cold weather, none of the batsmen, except Byrne, shewed any mastery over the bowling. Byrne played admirable cricket for two hours and forty minutes, never find­ ing any difficulty in the bowling and always seeming at his ease. His hits included a five and twelve 4’s. On the beautiul wicket Lees and Hayes bowled with great judgment, and they both met with success. Moorhouse was out to a ball which he did not attempt to play. Surrey batted for an hour-and-a- half, and put up 109 for the loss of Hayward and Hobbs, the latter making 40 in excellent style. Hayes was not out 43 and Baker not out 10. On Tuesday, Baker made thirteen off Lynes’ second over, and the score was taken to 140 before he was out for a good 28. Meanwhile Hayes was playing brilliant cricket, and as Holland soon became at home with the bowling the Surrey score mounted rapidly. With the score at 227, Hayes, who was within a run of his hundred, was bowled by Quaife; he had been batting'for two hours and ten minutes, and hit a five and nine 4’s. He and Holland had put on 87 in fifty minutes. Half the wickets were now down, but Lord Dalmeny played an excellent innings and received efficient help from the tail. He made 116—his first hundred for Surrey—in an hour and three-quarters, and among his hits were twenty 4’s. The innings closed for 479, and thus Surrey had a lead of 244. Warwickshire had to go in against a balance of 244, and when stumps were drawn they were still 93 runs behind with eight wickets in hand. Byrne and Kinneir played very well indeed, putting up 75 in an hour, and then, after Charlesworth had been dismissed for a duck’s egg, Quaife (33) and Kinneir (70) played out time. Yesterday Quaife was in his very best form, and defied the Surrey bowlers for the whole of the day, gradually pulling the match out of the fire until he began to give Warwickshire a fine lead. It was a splendid effort. He received much useful assistance from Kinneir and all the others of the team who went in. The whole of the Surrey eleven bowled. During the match 1,299 runs were scored for the loss of 27 wickets. W arw ickshire . First innings.
