M ay 16, 1907. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 139 OXFORD UNIVERSITY TRIAL MATCH. PERAM BULATORS V . ETCETERAS. Played at Oxford on May 13 and 14. Drawn. Cruwys made 113 for the Etceteras in 125 minutes, but was missed when 51. He hit a dozen 4’s, and in partnership with Raynor added 158 in eighty-five minutes. The fastest scoring was seen whilst Hoskin and Huyshe were together, their stand realising 135 in three-quarters of an hour. Play was so restricted on the second day by rain that a definite result never appeared likely. Hurst and Cripps, in the second innings of the Etceteras, hit up 50in twenty minutes.

Kent won by an innings and 100 runs. These Counties had never faced each other before, although the cricket history of each extends over a period of more than a hundred and sixty years. Huish appeared at the wicket in place of Hubble, who assisted the M.C.C. at Lord’s. Kent started poorly, Hardinge, Seymour and Hutchings being all disposed of for 34 in forty minutes. Woolley, however, played a very confident game, and with Day added 79 for the fourth wicket in fifty minutes and with Humphreys 73 for the fifth in an hour. Day was dismissed by the first ball Thorneycroft delivered for Northamptonshire, but the latter took no other wickets during the innings. Woolley made 99 out of 186 in a hundred and forty-five minutes without a mistake, his driving and leg-hitting being very clean and sure. His chief strokes were thirteen 4's. Marsham, hitting six 4’s, afterwards made 25 out of 30 in a-quarter of an hour, and the innings closed for 259. Of the visitors, Cox only faced the bowling with any confidence, and he was un­ fortunate to play-on when he had made 43 out of 70 in 85 minutes. The innings lasted only anhour and a half, Fielder, who bowled at a great pace and kept a good length, taking eight wickets for 42. In the follow-on, Driffield was bowled ere play ceased for the day. Although play on the second day was restricted to eighty minutes, the time proved suffi­ cient to enable Kent to win by an innings and 100 runs. The visitors’ batting was very poor, for the bowlers were not favoured by the wicket. Humph­ reys took five wickets for 26 runs, but his analysis flattered him. Score and analysis :— K ent .

Played at the Oval on May 13 and 14. Surrey won by an innings and 20 runs. Surrey in this match gave a trial to Hitch, a medium to fast right-handed bowler, Knox standing down. Hampshire were weakened considerably by the absence of Hill, and had all the worst of the day’s play. The best form for the visitors was show by Jephson, who made 38 out of 54 in seventy- five minutes, and by Badcock, who helped Persse to add 58 for the ninth wicket in forty minutes, after eight had fallen for 106. Mention should be made of the splendid catch by Marshal at third man which disposed of Bowell, the ball being taken very low down, almost at arm’s length. When Surrey went in against a total of 164, Hayward and Hobbs quickly settled down, and it was not until 138 had been made in one hundred minutes for the first wicket that the former played a ball into his wicket. He hit well all round the wicket, gave no chance, and hit ten 4’s. At the drawing of stumps 145 had been scored for the loss of two wickets, Hobbs carrying out his bat for 51. On the second morning the resumption was delayed until a-quarter to one by rain. Hobbs took his score to 60, when, with the total 173, he was caught at short leg: he hit five 4’s and batted a couple of hours, but was not in his best form. Hayes, who drove with great power, made 41 in 45 minutes, and Marshal, after an unsteady start, made some good strokes, whilst Dalmeny hit up 22 out of 25 obtained whilst in. Hampshire on the slow ground were set no easy task to make 147 to save the innings defeat. Llewellyn made 33 out of 47, and Langford and Stone put on 34 for the seventh wicket, but, apart from Bowell, no one else offered much resistance. Lees again bowled well, and in the whole match took nine wickets for 68 runs. Score and analysis:— H ampshire . First innings. Rev. W. V.
