J un e 24, 1909. CR ICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 221 SUSSEX v. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Played at Brighlon on June 21, 22 and 23. Sussex won by ten wickets. On Monday Sussex gained a substantial advantage, dismissing the University for 214 and replying with 215 for three wickets. Ireland batted 75 minutes for 47, and with Falcon put on 38 for the third wicket and with Mann 51 for the fourth. Macleod afterwards scored 55 in three-quarters of an hour, hitting eight 4’s. Cox and Killick bowled capitally and were chiefly responsible for the disappointing total. The Sussex batting was marked by a fine not out innings of 102 by Vine, who made his runs in 1(50 minutes without a mistake. With Cartwright he made 65, with Relf (R. R.) 67, and with Killick 66. He and Ramsbotham remained in partnership whilst 69 wore added and then the former was caught at short-leg. He batted 220 minutes for his faultless 121 and hit thirteen 4’s and 47 singles. Ramsbotham was within one of his half-century when he was bowled by a ball which smashed the bails : he hit seven 4's in his 49. Cox and Leach both scored freely and in 35 minutes added 67 for the sixth wicket. Smith, missed when 55, made 75 in an hour and a-half by very bright cricket and, in partnership with Cox, put 011 77 for the seventh wicket. The last-named batted 130 minutes for his faultless 85, and Vincett 40 minutes for 30. Lock­ hart took eight wickets in the long innings for 181 runs. In the second innings of the University Buchanan made 50 of the first 70 in 70 minutes, hitting nine 4’s, and, although Falcon and Ireland put on 74 together in 50 minutes, four wickets were down at the end of the day for 153. O 1 Wednesday Macleod hit up 39 out of 47, making six 4’s. Falcon managed to stay, but he was very fortunate, being missed three times. He and Olivier saved the innings defeat, but Sussex won easily by ten wickets. Score and analysis:— C a m b r id g e U n iv First innings. J. N. Buchanan, c Smith, b L each...........................

Marsh, 37) at Derby on June 14. MIDDLESEX v. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. Played at Lord’s on June 21, 22 and 23. Middlesex won by 176 runs. The fact that Middlesex were an unbeaten side caused a good deal of interest to centre in their meeting with Notts, notwithstanding that the latter had just before been defeated by Northants. Tar­ rant and Warner gave the home side a good start, making 80 for the first wicket in 80 minutes. The former, who scored 56 of the number, hit nine 4’s and played more freely than usual. Warner, out a run later, made a 4 off Wass and then scored twenty singles in succession. Hendren and Litteljohn added a useful 41, and Murrell, who hit well, put on 42 with Buxton in 25 minutes for the fifth wicket, which fell at 197. Iremonger afterwards bowled so successfully that the innings closed for 239: his analysis was six for 73, and no one played him with much confidence. After Jines had helped to make 46 for Notts’ first wicket in 25 minutes by bright cricket George Gunn and Iremonger put on 59 with­ out further loss in 50 minutes, sending up 50 in half-an-hour and 100 in 70 minutes, On Tuesday morning George Gunn and Iremonger remained to­ gether until their partnership had realised 78 in 65 minutes. The latter was then caught at slip for 64 made out of 124 in an hour and a-half: he drove well and hit nine 4’s, but never appeared quite at home. Gunn played steadily and took part in a series of useful stands, the largest of which was with Hardstaff, which put on 37. He made 71 out of 177 in three hours and hit eight 4’s : when 50 he was missed in the long-field, but made no other mistake. Wass and Hallam hit successfully at the close and Notts gained a lead of 35 on the innings. When Middlesex went in the second time Warner and Tarrant, after an uncertain start, made 50 without being parted in 45 minutes. W ith the total 74, and his own score 34, Warner was missed at slip by G. Gunn, who also let off Tarrant when that player was 49. The hundred was reached in 100 minutes, and, altogether, the stand for the first wicket realised 121 in two hours. 'Mmmtmrnt was bowled for 6, but Litteljohn stayed in till the close, when the score was 189 for two wickets, Tarrant 94 not out. When the latter had made 37 he played a ball from Ire­ monger and was given out lbw. Before he had reached the other wicket, however, on his way to the pavilion, the umpire, Roberts, reversed his decision and the batsman continued his innings. Jones discussed the incident with Warner, and, after an explanation from Roberts, the game was con­ tinued. Yesterday Litteljohn was caught at squarc- leg when the wicket had added 52, and just after his dismissal Tarrant reached his ICO after batting three hours and a-half. With Murrell in, 48 were added in 40 minutes, and then, at 261, Tarrant was bowled by Hallam. The latter batted 255 minutes and hit thirteen 4’s, and gave only one chance, George Gunn missing him at slip when 49. Hebden did little, but Trott and Buxton put on 52 in 50 minutes and a little later, when Middlesex were 301 runs on, the innings was closed. Notts lost Iremonger to the wicket-keeper standing back at 11, and 17 later Jones was out in a similar manner. Mignon had taken both wickets, and at 30 Tarrant, who had started the bowling with him, got George Gunn leg-before. Payton and Hardstaff looked like staying, but at 47 the former was bowled by Mignon and at 54 Murrell caught Hardstaff off Trott, who had relieved Iarrant. Half the side were then out, and, only Alletson and Oates of the others reaching double figures, Middlesex gained a fine victory by 176 runs. Mignon bowled splendidly and took seven wickets for 55.

The utmost driving power is obtained with a total absence of stinging, and it is absolutely im­ possible for this handle to become “ sprung.” The blades are carefully selected from the choicest close bark English Willow, well seasoned and hand-hammered throughout.
