W A R W IC K S H IR E v. Y O R K S H IR E . Played at Edgbaston on June 1, 2 and 3. s a n t a l l ' s b e n e f it . D raw n. A slig h t show er delayed the start until 25 m inutes past tw elve, and then Y orkshire, goin g in, batted all the rest of the day fo r 278 runs— very slow progress considering that the w icket was a good one R othery left at_ 13, but D enton rem ained w hilst 86 w ere added in an hour and a quarter fo r the second w icket. W ilkinson w as caught at the w icket for 6 , and it w as n ot until play had lasted tw o hours that the hundred went up, R hodes at one period m aking only 8 runs in an hour. H irst and Rhodes, du rin g the 90 m inutes they were together, put on 103, the form er com pleting his 50 in 80 m inutes, and Rhodes follow in g suit after b attin g ju st double as long. H irst gave a very b rig h t display, and hit a 6 (off F ield) and fou r 4’s. Rhodes, fifth out (at 216), batted 225 m inutes for 81 and h it five 4’s : the only m istake w hich could be urged against him was a difficult chance to F ish w ick in the slips when 64. B ates and M yers added 60 in 50 m inutes, and, when stum ps w ere draw n, the Y orkshire total stood at 278 fo r six w ickets, m ade in five hours. H eavy rain throughout the greater part o f the n igh t prevented any play takin g place on Tuesday u n til tw enty m inutes past three. H aigh and M yers added 31 m ore before the form er, w ho claim ed 29 of the num ­ ber, w as bow led. M yers batted steadily, and, when cau gh t in the slips, had batted tw o hours for 35. In response to a total o f 339 W arw ick­ shire fared badly, losing F ish w ick to H irst’s first b all and, b y the tim e stum ps were draw n, having three w ickets dow n fo r 55. Q uaife ca r­ ried out his bat for 12 , but he w as m issed w hen 7 by M yers at square-leg. On W ednesday H aigh and H irst were in great form , and g ot all the rem aining w ickets dow n fo r 66 . Q uaife batted 110 m inutes for 24 and Stephens an hour and a h a lf for 23 not out. In the follow -on M yers started the b ow lin g w ith H irst and directly a fter lunch the la tter bow led F ish w ick for 5. K inneir and Q uaife reached double figures, but it w as the stand of Charlesw orth and B aker w hich saved the side. The last- nam ed scored steadily and, w hen stum ps were draw n, carried out his bat fo r 71. Score and analysis :— Y o r k sh ir e .

K E N T . Played at C am bridge on June i, 2 and 3. Draw n. Y ou n g and Buchanan were the only old Blues appearing for C am bridge in this m atch, and the latter w as pla yin g his first gam e of the season. Y ou n g and M ann com m enced the in­ nings and gave the side a capital start. By brigh t crick et they m ade 90 for the first w icket in 110 m inutes, but F alcon, although batting half-an-hour, did little, and Buchanan w as out w ithout a run. R am sbotham was in 45 m inutes for 10, and, soon a fter D oll’s arrival, Y oung, who had reached 50 in 130 m inutes, com pleted his hundred after b attin g three hours and a half. The U niversity captain, w ho w as fifth out, took 220 m inutes to m ake his faultless 106: he m ade strokes on both sides o f the w icket, hit fourteen 4’s, and succum bed to a catch at short-leg. D oll w as in an hour and a quarter for 36, but w hen he had m ade 9, B lythe, fielding at point, m issed him . F ielder took six w ickets for 69 in the innings of 258, and, w hen play oeased, K ent had m ade tw o runs fo r the loss of H uish’s w icket. The storm w hich occurred dur­ ing the n igh t did not prevent the gam e being resum ed at tw enty m inutes to tw elve on Tues- 3ay m orning. W ith on ly 11 scored M unds was bow led and Seym our caught at slip, both w ickets being taken by O livier. H utchings then join ed D ay and m ade som e good hits, though w hen he had scored 15 he ought to have been caught at cover-point by D oll off Lyttelton. Reunert, takin g up the attack, was punished for 22 in tw o overs, and H utchings, a fter being in 42 m inutes, com pleted his 50. E igh t runs later, how ever, he was cau gh t at m id-off for a very attractive innings, w hich obtained ten 4’s. H ardinge and W oolley added 94 for the sixth w icket, the form er, w ho hit seven 4’s, batting eighty m inutes for 54, and the latter, w ho m ade four 4’s, being in an hour and a half for 52. No one else reached double figures, the innings closing for 220, or 38 in arrears. The ’V arsity lost M ann for a single, but Falcon stayed w ith Y oun g, w ho should have been caught and bow led b y Blythe w ithout a run, until 38, and Buchanan and R am sbotham m ade useful scores. A t the end of the day 136 had been m ade for four w ickets, Y oun g being not out 68 . Y ester­ day it w as speculated w hether Y ou n g w ould m ake a second hundred in the m atch, but it w as not to be, for, w hen 89, he w as caught in the slips, after b attin g three hours and h ittin g eleven 4’s. Reunert and Tufnell put on 31 for the ninth w icket, and K ent were set 290 to w in. The failure o f H utchings w as a great blow to the side, for, had he got set, he m ight have pulled off the gam e fo r his side. Seym our and W oolley, fortunately fo r the visitors, w ere in good form , and, but fo r them , K ent m ight w ell have lost. Score and a n a ly sis:— C am rridge U n iv e r sity . First innings.
