Although Hayes could not assist, Lord Brackley was able to place a good side in the field for this match. The visitors fared disastrously against Simpson-Hayward, whose lobs were most successful. Ollivierre made 41 out of 69 in fifty minutes, whilst Smith batted five minutes longer for 30, but, with no one else reaching 20, the innings realised only 158, made in one hundred and forty-five minutes. The last two wickets—Smith and Burton—fell to cousecutive balls from Simpson-Hayward. Wynyard and Brackley were together sixty-five minutes, their partnership for the fiist wicket realising 98, at which total they both left. Wynyard reached 50 out of 62 in forty minutes, and, in all, claimed as many as 76 of the 98 scored whilst he was in. He made some fine drives and pulled well, and hit a 6 (all run) and ten 4’s. Thompson and Somerset added 42 for the fifth wicket in forty minutes, and, when stumps were drawn, Lord Brackley’s team were 42 ahead with three wickets in hand. On Tuesday the innings quickly closed, the three outstanding wickets add­ ing Jonly 13 runs. Morrison, altogether, took five wickets for 58. The tourists fared disastrously for a time in their second innings, Ollivierre being sent back at 5 and Learmond at 6, Burn bowling down each wicket. Layne and Challenor, however, put on 73 for the third wicket ere the former was caught at the wicket by Brackley. Challenor batted eighty minutes for his 47—a very valuable innings—but 6 wickets were down for 99. It was at this point that Harragin and Smith came together,'and,fby“ care­ ful but very bright cricket, quite pulled the game round for their side. Harragin hit a 5 and nine 4’s in his 86, made in ninety minutes, while Smith made a 5 and six 4’s. Both men were favoured by the fielding side, but it would be impossible to praise too highly their stand of 149, which lasted eighty minutes, for the seventh wicket. The innings closed for 298. Set 244 to win Lord Brackley’s XI. lostjfour good wickets for 38, but, in the remaining forty minutes, Somerset and Cole, by watchful cricket, put on 43 without being parted. Yesterday, after a very interesting struggle, the West Indians were beaten by the narrow margin of two wickets. Somerset and Cole continued together until their stand for the fifth wicket had realised 71 in seventy minutes. Cole batted two hours for his 59, included in which were five 4’s. The remainder of the innings was noticeable for a fine innings on the part of Capt. Wynyard, who was so lame as to require the services of a runner. He batted 125 minutes for his not out score of 70-an innings which clearly won the game for his side. Cole helped him to add 55 for the sixth wicket in 50 minutes, and Thompson 46 for the seventh in 40 minutes. During his innings a peculiar incident occurred. Ollivierre, when about to bowl to Wyn­ yard , seeing the latter was out of his ground, threw the ball at his wicket in an endeavour to run him out. The umpire promptly called no-ball, adecision which was much discussed upon the ground. But the ruling of the M.O.O. on the point, in their Interpretation of the Laws, is very plain.

OXFORD UN IVERSITY . Played at Worcester on June 18, 19 and 20. Worcestershire won by 62 runs.'Sj Although without H. K. Foster, Worcestershire, thanks in no small measure to poor fielding, proved more than a match for their opponents. Pearson was out at 19, but Cuffe and Bowley put on 38 for the second wicket, and the former and Arnold 131 for the third in ninety-five minutes. Arnold made his 71 in ninety-five minutes, and hit nine 4’s, whilst Cuffe, who hit eleven 4’s in his 88, was in for three hours. The feature of the day’s play was the batting by Burns, who made his 165 in two hours and five minutes. He reached 52 out of 71 in forty-five minutes, and hit twenty-five 4’s in a very brilliant display. With Cuffe he put on 71 for the fourth wicket in forty-five minutes, and with Wheldon 114 for the sixth in an hour. At the end of the day Worcestershire had made 421 for seven wickets. On Tuesday the county’s last three wickets added but 18 runs, the innings closing for 439. The University lost their first four wickets for 54, Arnold proving very difficult to play, but Buxton, Wright and Worsley all played well, with the result that the total eventually reached 328. Wright and Bux­ ton added 52 for the fifth wicket in twenty-five minutes, and Wright and Worsley 167 for the sixth. Worsley hit thirteen 4’s and Wright nine. Arnold bowled splendidly on the perfect wicket, taking eight wickets for 95 in an innings of 328. The county, 111 ahead, scored 28 in their second innings for the loss of Bowley’s wicket ere stumps were drawn. Yesterday Pearson scored 44 in fifty-five minutes, but half the side were out for 107. Thanks chiefly to Ouffe the score by lunch had been taken to 218 for the loss of four more wickets, a total at which the innings was declared closed. The University were set 330 to win in 215 minutes. The earlier batsmen gave a somewhat disappointing display against Arnold, but, fortunately Buxton and Branston made a good stand for the seventh wicket, and the tail-end played up pluckily. Still, the county always had something in hand, and even­ tually won by 62 runs. Arnold, who is in splendid all-round form at the present time, took thirteen wickets in the match for 163 runs.
