YORKSH IRE v. WORCESTERSH IRE. Pl iyed at Bradford on August 19, 20, and 21. A total op 28. Worcestershire won by 30 runs. With Haigh, Hirst, Rhodes, Lord Hawke, and Rothery all away, Yorkshire took the field with a considerably weaker team than usual. The oppor­ tunity was taken of giving a trial to several young players, and, as events proved, the inclusion of New- stead caused history to be written. Worcestershire lacked the services of R. E. Foster, who was playing for England at the Oval, but his absence was not sufficient to account for the collapse of the side in two hours and a half for 153. H. K. Foster and Bowley were both out for 22, but Pearson and G. N. Foster put on 73 together in an hour and a quarter. G. N. Foster obtained his 51 in just over an hour and a half, showing very good cricket. The fourth wicket fell at 120, but the last six went down for 33, five of them for 8, the innings closing for 153. Yorkshire quickly lost Rudston and Denton—the former, after being in twenty minutes, for a single. Tunnicliffe, Wilkinson, and Newstead left in rapid succession, but Bates and Grimshaw made double figures, although the total reached only 62. Four of the last five wickets were taken by Burns in the slips. When Worcestershire went in the second time, with a lead of 91, Newstead and Myers bowled so effec­ tively that the whole side tumbled out for 28, the former taking seven wickets for only 10 runs. Bowley, owing to the illness of a child, had been obliged to retire from the match, and therefore was unable to bat in the second innings. Yorkshire were set 120 to win, and by the end of the day had scored 52 for the loss of Tunnicliffe, Rudston, and Denton. On the third morning Wilkinson alone played the bowling with much confidence, and Worcestershire gained a meritorious success by 30 runs. Chief credit for the result rested with Cuffe, who took nine wickets for 38. Burns made eight catches in the slips. Score and analysis: W orcestershire . First innings. H. K.

Gloucestershire won by an innings and 44 runs. Gloucestershire lacked the services of Jessop in thismatch, but the visitors were greatly handicapped in being without Hayward, Knox and Crawford. On a soft pitch, Baker and Hobbs made 43 for the first wicket in half-an-hour, but four were down for 99when Marshalwent in. The lastnamed, who helped Lord Dalmeny to put on 36 for the fifth wicket, played a fine game, and was well supported by Carver, who remained in whilst 60 were added for the eighth in forty-five minutes. Marshal, playing with sound judgment, batted eighty-five minutes for 53. In response to the total of 189, Gloucester­ shire lost one wicket for 74 in an hour and a-half, Langdon and Board making 57 together for the first wicket in an hour and ten minutes. On Tuesday, Langdon, after losing Luce at 87, remained with Champain whilst 80 were added for the third wicket: he hit a dozen 4’s during the hundred and fifty minutes he was in. Everything during the rest of the day was dwarfed by Cliampain’s fine innings. He reached his hundred in two hours, and, altogether, batted three hours for his 149, contained in which were twenty-one 4’s. lie was missed by Baker when 137, and off an over from Lees scored twenty by means of five 4\s. lluggins, who scored 48, helped him to add 76 for the seventh wicket, and the innings closed for 404. With arrears amounting to 194, Surrey lost Baker, Hobbs, Lord Dalmeny, and Holland for 110 by the time stumps were drawn. Hayes played a very bright- game, driving with much power, and at the end of the day carried out his bat for 52. Yesterday Hayes added 11 to his overnight score, and his departure marked the commencement of a collapse, for only Marshal of the later players offered any resistance to Dennett and Huggins. The innings closed for 171, leaving Gloucestershire successful by an innings and 44 runs. Marshal again played well and carried out his bat for 40. Score and analysis S urrey . First innings.

Owing to rain it was not possible to start play until a quarter to two, and even then the wicket was very soft. Warner and Douglas made 45 together, but no one else on the side reached double figures, and the innings closed for 130. Warner, going in first, carried his bat through the innings for a fault­ less 65, which contained five 4’s. He batted ninety- five minutes for his runs, and showed very strong defence. The innings closed for 130, and, in reply, Notts scored 45 for the loss of Iremonger by the time stumps were drawn for the day. On the second morning George Gunn and Payton added 91 together for the fourth wicket, but after their dismissal a great collapse was seen, the last six wickets going down for 13 in half an hour, and a lead of only ten being gained on the innings. Hearne again bowled admirably, taking seven wickets for 42. In their second innings the visitors were dismissed by Wass aud Hallam in one hundred and thirty-five minutes for 99, only Payne, Trott, and Murrell reaching double figures. Wells, Tarrant, and Colbeck were all dismissed in one over. Left with only 90 to win Notts made that number for the loss of five wickets, and in so doing assured themselves of the Champion­ ship.
