A. Young made his first appearance of the season for Sussex, and marked the occasion by- playing a three-figure innings. Robert Relf and Vine gave the side a good start by making 65 to­ gether in 55 minutes : but two wickets were down for 78. Young then found two useful partners in Killick and the elder Relf, who helped to put on 69 and 96 respectively. Young, missed at slip when 85, scored 112 out of 237 in three hours and a-half, cut­ ting brilliantly after an unsteady start and hitting eighteen 4’s. When play ceased for the day seven wickets were down for 359. The remainder of the Sussex innings was marked by some very useful bowling on the part of Kennedy, who took six wickets for 45 runs in the large total of 369. Hamp­ shire lost Bowell at 12, Stone at 21 and Mead at 51. Llewellyn and Sprot, however, added 77 in 40 minutes, but six wickets were down for 179. Me Donell did little, but Remnant proved a useful partner to Llewellyn, who reached 50 out of 95 in 55 minutes. In all, Llewellyn scored 130 out of 247 in three hours, making fifteen 4’s, the majority of them powerful drives, but he was missed when 5 and again when 76. In the last 80 minutes of the day Sussex scored 94 for the loss of Robert Relf, who made 77 for the first wicket with Vine. Yesterday the visitors lacked the services of Sprot, who was called away owing to a motor accident befalling a relative ; Dwyer fielded in his stead. The Sussex men forced the game from the start. Vine made some capital drives and made his 57 out of 139 in 90 minutes, helping Young to put on 68 in 40 minutes for the second wicket. The latter left at 161, and Killick at 178. The elder Relf and Cartwright made useful contributions and, with seven wiokets down for 230, the innings was closed, leaving Hampshire 318 to win. Four hours remained for play, and Hampshire proved unequal to staying in so long. They were at a great disadvantage in losing Sprot, who had played so well in the first innings, and were dismissed for 212. The only feature of the play was the batting of Llewellyn, who carried out his bat for 101 and thereby made two separate 100’s in a great match for the second time in his career.

Played at Edgbaston on August 2, 3 and 4. A PA R TN E R SH IP OF 393. Worcestershire won by an innirgs and 233 runs. Worcestershire had all the best of Monday’s play, getting rid of Warwickshire for 141 and replying with 163 for four wickets. The home side lost Fishwick to the first ball of the match, but Charlesworth hit freely and helped to add 42 for the second wicket. Baker afterwards played a very useful game, but the form of the side w'as disappointing. After Worcestershire had lost Bowley at 9, W. L. Foster and Pearson put on sixty for the second wicket, but the score was only 83 when the fourth went down. Arnold and Burns put their side into a really good position l y adding 80 without being separated. On Tuesday eleven of the first twelve overs were maidens. Burns was the first to reach tliree-figures, but Arnold was not far behind. During the partnership Lilley damaged a finger and Fithwick took his place at the wicket. Runs came freely after lunch, 100 being added in 40 minutes. The pair remained together for four hours and a-quarter, during which time they put on 393 for the fifth wicket. Burns hit seventeen 4’s but was missed five times, whilst Arnold also was let off on several occasions. The latter hit a 5 and fourteen 4’s during his stay of five hours at the wickets. Each player made his highest score in a match of note, and when Arnold had completed his sccond hundred the innings was closed. Going in again, Warwickshire made 58 for the loss of Kinneir before play ceased. Yesterday Fishwick atoned for his first-innings failure and Quaife scored 35, but Arnold’s bowling proved too much for the others and the visitors won with the greatest of ease.

Played at Canterbury on August 2 and 3. THE CANTERBURY WEEK. Kent won by an innings and 37 runs. Play on Monday was restricted by showers to two hours and 10 minutes, during which time Kent made 1S6 for four wickets. Fielder, on account of the strain which reasserted itself at Leyton, was away, but Mason played: altogether, twrelve amateurs took part in the match, Wells and James Douglas assisting Middlesex for the first time during the season. The home side lost their two first wickets for 44, after which Hutchings and Humphreys added 63 in 35 minutes. The hundred went up in 65 minutes, and Hutchings reached 50 out of 65 in 34 minutes. Humphreys played a faultless game for his 35, but was quite over­ shadowed by Hutchings, who, hitting twelve 4’s, made 74 out of 101 in 55 minutes. Woolley and A. P. Day added 41 without being separated, the former, when play ceased for the day, carrying out his bat for 40. On Tuesday the Kent men hit out on the soft pitch, and lost their eighth wicket at 235. Then Carr and Huish, both missed, put on 43 in 25 minutes. Kent made 278 in three hours and a-half. Middlesex fared badly against Blythe and Carr and in half-an-hour before lunch lost three w'ickets for 21. Carr afterwards lost his length and so some of his terror, but Blythe was very difficult, and, taking six wickets for 26, brought the innings to a close for 78. Middlesex foliowed-on, 200 behind, and lost Warner at 32 and Hendren at 34. Douglas went in first and was third out, at 55, for 33, whilst Tarrant also did well. The latter hit hard and, although twiee missed, played by far the best cricket on the side. Carr took five wickets in the innings and eight in the match. Score and analysis :— K e n t . J. R.
