W A R W I C K S H I R E v . S U R R E Y . Played at E d gbaston on M ay 21, 22 and 23. D raw n. On a fast wicket on the opening day only 300 runs were made for thirteen wickets, Surrey scor­ ing 252 in 260 minutes and the home side losing three wickets for 48 runs in the last 40 minutes of the day. Surrey started their innings against Field and Hargreave and, as runs appeared to come readily, Santall and Charlesworth took up the attack at 42. The half-century went up in 50 minutes, but when 66 had been scored in an hour Hobbs, who made some delightful off-drives and showed the best batting of the day, was bowled for 40. Marshal was bowled at 83 by Field, who had just resumed, and, with Holland in, the hundred was completed in an hour and 40 min­ utes. Hayward was third out, at 119, for a slow but sound innings of 60, which contained five 4's and took two hours and ten minutes to com­ pile. Holland took eighty minutes to score his first 20 runs, but he was the only batsman apart from Hayward and Hobbs able to make any stand. Hayes was caught at cover-point at 168 and Bush at mid-off a little later. The innings of 252 lasted four hours and twenty m inutes; the bowling was good and steady, but the fielding was not quite reliable. Holland carried out his bat for 89 made out of 169 in 185 m inutes; he drove well, hit seven 4’s, but was missed at short-slip by Kinneir when he had made 19. Warwickshire lost Street at 28 and Baker at 35, and, when play ceased, had three wickets down for 40, Kinneir being not out 27. There was rain on Friday morning and no play wa3 possible until a-quarter past three. Th:n after three overs had been bowled, there was a further delay of half-an-hour owing to a shower. In all, play lasted less than two hours and-a-half. For a time the attack proved very successful, the fifth Warwickshire wicket going down at 76, but Charlesworfch and Lilley pulled the game rouni by adding 84 for the sixth wicket in an hour. The former batted an hour and-a-half for his attractive innings of 69 and hit seven 4’s. Glover, who was missed at the wicket when he had made a single, played out time with Lilley (51), when Warwick­ shire, with four wickets in hand, were 52 runs behind. Only 4 runs were added on the Saturday before Lilley played-on; he was at the wicket 110 minutes for his excellent 54, and hit a 6 and three 4’s. Stephens was caught at square-leg off the first ball he received and, altogether, the four out­ standing wickets added only 21, Surrey being able to claim a lead of 31 on the innings. Crawford took five wickets at a cost of slightly over 11 runs each in the total of 221. Hayward and Hobbs made 37 for the first wicket when the visitors went in the secand time, but both were then out, Hobbs bowled and Hayward caught at slip. H ol­ land left at 52, but Marshal and Crawford made a fine stand. At 65 Hargreave relieved Santall, who had bowled really well, and at 79 Charlesworth wpnt on for Field, who had bothered the earlier batsmen considerably but who had been knocked off by Crawford. The fourth wicket added 67 in 65 minutes and then Crawford was out to a very fine running catch by (^uaife, who took the ball high up behind cover-point. Marshal, hitting well when opportunity occurred, reached 50 in 110 minutes, but at 137 Hayes and Bush were sent back by consecutive balls from Field, the latter being bowled by the first ball he received. With 181for nine wickets on the board the Surrey innings was declared closed,Warwickshire being left 213 to win in 130 minutes. There was never much chance of the match being finished, but by the time stumps were drawn the home side had lost six wickets for 115 runs. Score and analysis : S urriy . First innings.

P e r a m b u la t o r s v. E t c e t e r a s . Played at Oxford on May 21, 22, and 23. Drawn. Leslie showed the best batting in the first inn­ ings of the Perambulators and, with Brandt, added £0 for the sixth wicket in 45 minutes. Molineux and Hatfeild put on 43 for the last wicke>t in a-quarter of an hour, and the innings closed for 234. By the end of the day the Etceteras had made 103 for two wickets, Salter (not destined to add to his total) being 65 not out. When play should have been resigned on Friday the pitch was covered with hailstones, and a start could not be made until 3 o’clock. Hurst and Braddell added 85 together, the former, who hit a 6 and seven 4’s, batted an hour and a- quartcr for 67, and the latter making his 40 not out in an hour. The innings closed for 246 and the Perambulators scored 26 for the loss of Bow- ring’s wicket before stumps were drawn. On Saturday some further very level play was seen, and, when stumps were drawn, Etceteras re­ quired four runs to win and had two wickets to fall. Score and analysis :— P erambulators .
