So deadly did Udal’s bowling prove at the com- mencement of this match that Sussex lost their first four wickets for 27, and, although Vine and Leach added 30 for the fifth in twenty-five minutes, six were down for 62. Udal accounted for the first five Sussex wickets at a cost of but 15 runs, but, un­ fortunately, soon afterwards broke down and had to retire, with the result that the county’s last four wickets added 210 in a hundred and forty-five minutes. Vine and Cox put on 100 for the seventh wicket in niUety-five minutes, the latter, who cut well and made eight 4’s, playing a good game and hitting well. Vine batted just over three hours for his faultless and very steady 86, which contained thirteen 4’s and was marked by some fine cutting and driving. Simms gave a brilliant display, scoring 81 out of 110 in fifty-five minutes, and claiming 52 of the 60 added in twenty minutes for the last wicket. He hit fourteen 4’s. The Oxford fielding was of a high standard, whilst Bird’s wicket-keeping was, as usual, very good. In response to a total of 272 the University fared badly, losing six wickets for 107 against A. E. Relf and Dwyer ere play ceased for the day. On Tuesday the University’s last four wickets added as many as 133 in eighty-five minutes, the result being that the Sussex lead was restricted to one of 32. Foster made his 25 by means of six 4’s and a single, whilst Bird and Udal put on 52 for the last wicket in 25 minutes. Sussex, upon going in again, lost Smith at 6, but this early disaster was compensated for by Vine and Killick, who added 88 for the second wicket. The last-named, who cut and drove well, but was missed in the slips when 36, hit nineteen 4’s and scored his 119 out of 203 in two hundred and ten minutes. Udal, although not recovered from his injury of the previous day, again bowled, but at not more than half his usual pace. When play ceased for the day the County were 317 runs on with three wickets in hand. Yesterday both Cox and Simms were soon caught by Worsley, field­ ing for Udal. The latter, who made 10 in as many minutes, again did well. Dwyer made a few good hits, and the University were set the large number of 369 to win. Bruce was bowled at 8, and Foster sent back 20 runs later, but it wras not until Buxton and Payne had added 44 in 30 minutes that the third wicket fell—at 72. Payne played a good game, but was unfortunate in receiving very poor support. The majority of the side appeared quite unable to cope with Vine’s bowling, which accounted for eight wickets for 68. Sussex won by 164 runs. Score and analysis:— S ussbx . First innings. O. L. A. Smith, b Udal ... 0 Vine, c sub., b Branston ... 86 Killick. c Bird, b Udal ... 2 Relf (A.

AND GROUND v. CAMBRIDGE UN IVERSITY . Played at Lord’s on June 25, 26 and 27. M .C.C. and Ground won by four wickets. The visitors lacked the services of Napier, whilst W. G. Grace, who was announced to appear for the M.C.C., and the publication of whose name attracted many to the ground, was prevented from playing owing to a strained leg. On a wicket somewhat affected by the recent storm the University lost four wickets in an hour for 35. Eyre, who gave a sound display, and Page then put on 50 for the fifth wicket in thirty-five minutes, but nine were down for 127 when May joined Baily. Hitherto Mead had been almost unplayable, but the newcomer, who hit out lustily, spoilt his analysis. In twenty-five minutes the last wicket added 58, of which number May, who hit six 4’s, claimed 40. The opening of the M.C.C. innings was notable for a first-wicket partnership of 111 by A. P. Lucas and Fane. The former, who made his debiit in first-class cricket over thirty years ago, batted one hundred and fifteen minutes for 34, and played with as straight a bat as ever. At the end of the day the total had been taken to 47 with only one wicket down, Fane, who made some capital off-drives, being 68 not out. On the following morn­ ing Fane and Johnson remained together until 140, after which there was a collapse, Tarrant being dis­ posed of at 148 and Trott 6 runs later. Fane was sent back at 182, after batting three hours, for a faultless innings of 97, which contained thirteen 4’s. His success recalls the coiresponding match of 1901 wherein he scored 195 and 79 not out. Wynyard and Headlam put on 44 for the ninth wicket, and, when the innings closed for 268, the M.O.O. held anadvan­ tage of 83. The University, in their second innings, lost Young at 17 and Payne at 23. Baily and Eyre, however, added 32 for the third wicket and the former and Buchanan 50 for the fourth in three- quarters of an hour, the arrears being rubbed off with seven wickets in hand. Page, who was seventh out at 190, was disposed of in an unusual manner. He was backing up, and was out of his ground, when his partner—Colbeck—drove back a ball hard which went off Mead’s (the bowler’s) hand into his wicket. Mainprice then joined Colbeck, and, so fine a resistance did the pair make that, when play ended, they had added 110 and were still together, their side then being 217 ahead with three wickets in hand—a position very different indeed from the one they occupied at the commencement of the day. Colbeck, who played a brilliant game, might have been stumped when 3, but made no other mistake. Yesterday the pair remained together until 330, when Mainprice, who hit six 4’s, was sent back for a faultless 53. The partnership for the eighth wicket realised 140 in 75 minutes. Neither Morcom nor May did much, and the innings closed for 347. Oolbeck, who drove well, played a very attractive game, and obtained his 92 in 130 minutes. He hit nine 4’s. The home side, set 265 to win, made 68 in 50 minutes before the first wicket (Fane’s) fell. Tarrant then joined Wynyard, and the two were still together when, at lunch time, the total had reached 122 for one wicket. At 128, however, Tarrant was bowled by Morcom for 26, made in 45 minutes. Shortly afterwards Wynyard was caught at cover-point for 74 made out of 144 in 110 minutes. He was missed when 27, but played an excellent game. Lucas, Trott and Weigall all made useful scores, and eventually the home side won by four wickets. Score and analysis:— C ambridge U niversity . First innings. R. P. Keigwin, run out ... 0 R. A.
