W O R C E S T E R S H IR E v. W A R W IC K ­ S H IR E . Played at W orcester on M ay 20, 21 and 22. W arw ickshire won b y an innings and 8 runs. Worcestershire placed the same side in the field that beat Yorkshire, but had all the worst of the opening day’s play. On a good wieket they did very poorly to make only 172, six men failing to reach double figures. Bowley made 58 in partnership with Foster and 32 with Pearson, but of the late batsmen only Cuffe, who played a very steady game, rendered much assistance. Warwickshire lost their first four wickets for 81, after which Lilley and Baker added 112 without being separated, Warwickshire, when play ceased for the day, being 21 runs on with six wickets in hand. On Tuesday the two not-outs gave a fine display, and it was not until they had put on 228 for the fifth wicket in one hundred and fifty minutes that a separation was effected. Baker played a very sound game, and hit eleven 4’s. Byrne afterwards helped Lilley to add 124 before the latter was bowled for the highest innings he has ever played in a first-class match: he hit twenty 4’s, mostly fine off-drives, but was rather fortunate. After the innings had closed for 505, Bowley and Pearson scored 88 together without being separated. On Wednesday the home side gave a much better display, but just failed to save the innings’ defeat. Bowley and Pearson remained together until 132, whilst later Arnold and Cuffe put on 94 together. The visitors would probably have won by a larger margin had not Santall had rheuma­ tism, Field injured his hand, and Hargreave been lame. Score and analysis:— W orcestershire . First innings.

Much to the disappointment of the ten thousand spectators present on the opening day, rain per­ mitted only two and a-half hours’ play. Essex were without Perrin and Buckenham, who were unwell, but the County did by no means badly to make 151 for four wickets before the drawing of stumps. Douglas was bowled at 15 and Freeman lbw at 20, following which McGitliey took part in a series of very useful stands: with Fane he put on 28 in thirty minutes, with Gillingham, who never appeared comfortable, 40 i i half-an-hour, and with Carpenter 64 at the close in an hour without being separated. Only 5 runs had been added on the Tuesday when Carpenter was hit so severely on the right hand by a ball from Ford that he was obliged to retire. Soon afterwards Reeves was injured on the body by a delivery from Huggins, whilst later Barnett split his hand in endeavouring to stop a hard out. McGahey, who was missed in the slips when 71, made 96 out of 171 in one hundred and eighty-five minutes before playing-on; his driving and play on the leg-side were very good, whilst he hit a 5 and ten 4’s. Kortright made a few good hits, but the last six wickets went down in an hour and a-half for 82. During the morning Ford took five wickets for 27. Gloucestershire lost Godsell and Board to consecutive balls at 39, whilst Wrathall. who batted eighty minutes for 31, was well caught and bowled at 64. Langdon and Jessop then became associated, and by bright cricket added 153 in eighty-five minutes ere being separated. Jessop, hitting ten 4’s, made 86 of the number, but he should have been stumped when 22. Langdon, who was missed at the wicket when 4 and again when 42, played a very attractive game, and hit fourteen 4’s. Mead proved very effective in the latter part of the innings, taking six of the last seven wickets for 20 runs. When play ceased for the day Essex, with all their wickets in hand, were 20 runs behind. Yesterday scoring ruled low, Fane, who hit a 5 and seven 4’s, alone exceeding the half-century. Glou­ cestershire were set only 129 to win, but so well did Mead and Douglas bowl that only 88 of the number were made, Essex pulling through by 40 runs. Score and analysis :— E ssex . First innings.

Drawn. In a poor light and very cold weather, play did not proceed under at all genial conditions on the Bank-Holiday, and less than twelve thousand people were present. Lancashire, after losing two wickets for 24, made a good stand, Tyldesley and Poidevin adding 106 for the third in 100 minutes by careful cricket, and the former and Sharp 60 for the fourth. Tyldesley made his 98 out of 190 in 170 minutes, hitting finely all round, and was stumped in endeavouring to complete his hundred. He hit eleven 4’s. Sharp played a bright, chanceless, and attractive game, and hit ten 4’s whilst making 85 out of 133 in 115 minutes : with Cook he put on 52 for the seventh wicket. The innings, after lasting four hours and a-quarter, closed for 275, in response to which Yorkshire made 28 without loss before stumps were drawn. On Tuesday no play was pos­ sible on account of rain. On Wednesday Yorkshire totalled 248, Rhodes and Haigh adding 79 together in 75 minutes, and Tunnicliffe, Hirst and Myers making useful scores. By the end of the day Lan­ cashire had been dismissed for 109, the game ending in tame fashion in a draw. Score and analysis :— L ancashire . First innings. Second innings.

Notts won by 202 runs. Considering that Surrey were without their best batsman and all-round player, and that Knox was unable to^ bowl more than eight overs owing to a strain, it is not suiprising that Surrey cut so sorry a figure. In getting five Nottingham wickets down for 89, however, the visitors did very well, but after­ wards the home side gradually obtained the upper hand, and by close of play had got seven Surrey wickets down for 89. Branston, who made some good drives and hit well to leg, put on 80in fifty-five minutes with Hardstaff, and 37 in half-an-hour with Alletson; he was nearly bowled first ball, but sur­ vived to hit seven 4’s. The best batting of the day was shown by Hardstaff, who, hitting seven 4’s also, made his 49 out of 93 in an hour and a-quarter. Surrey lost Hobbs before a run had been made, Hayes to a fine catch at 6, Marshal at 10, and Gordon to another good catch at 26. Davis, Dalmeny, and Lees all reached double figures, but it was the steadiness of Holland that saved the side from a complete collapse. The last named went in first, and at the close of the day carried out his bat for 32, for which he was in an hour and three- quarters. On the following morning the last three wickets, added but 9 runs in twenty-five minutes, the innings closing for 98. Holland remained un­ beaten to the end, having played a most serviceable and valuable game. Wass took 7 wickets for 49 runs. Possessed of a lead of 134, Notts commenced the second innings with Iremonger and Jones, and
