M ay ig , i g i o . CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 133 CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY v. SURREY. Played at Cambridge on May 12, 13 and 14 Cambridge University won by two wickets. Owing to a bruised leg, Hayes did not play in this match for Surrey, but J. I. Piggott, an old Cheltonian and present Captain of Pembroke, appeared in his stead and scored well in each innings. On the Thursday the County had the worst of the wicket, but, even so, they did poorly to be dismissed for 179 in two hours and a quarter. Holloway and Cowie, both fast bowlers, and the former with a good fast ball, were wholly responsible for the small total. Cam­ bridge lost Nason and Collins to consecutive balls at 14, and the total was only 54 when the fourth wicket fell. Then the much-needed stand was made by Susskind and Mann, who, during the 95 minutes they were together, put on 128. Mann obtained runs all round the wicket and hit eight 4’s in his sound display. At the end of the day, when the University, with five wickets in hand, were 9 runs on, Susskind was not out 79. On the second day the player named took his score to 92 and then fell to a smart catch at the w icket: he made thirteen 4’s— the majority of them square-cuts and off-drives— during the two hours and three-quarters he was in. Smith quickly took three wickets for 10 runs, and the University’s lead was restricted to 31. In their second innings Surrey lost Hobbs (bowled round his legs) at 15, Hayward (yorked) at 25 and Bird at 28, three wickets thus being down before the arrears were accounted for. The stand of 66 for the fourth wicket by Marshal and Ducat was most timely, but although the former hit well he was missed twice in the slips by Susskind : his chief strokes were a 6 and five 4’s. Davis played even more freely and of the 91 added for the sixth wicket in 55 minutes with Piggott claimed 55. The wicket had been improving and it was strange to find the last four wickets going down for 34. Holloway again did well with the ball, and took ten wickets in the match for just under nine and a-half runs apiece. The University, set 223 to win, made 72 of the number for the loss of two wickets by the end of the day. The not outs were Nason (32) and Ireland (0) and it was due largely to tho pair that Surrey were beaten on the third day by two wickets. Together they took the total to 154, and then Nason, who had batted for two hours and 40 minutes, was leg-before-wicket. The pair had put on 84 for the third wicket in an hour and a-quarter. Susskind was out to a very fine catch and when Mann left half the side were out for 180. Windsor-Clive helped to put on 34, and Ireland (then 103) was missed by Hitch with the game a tie. Tufnell and Lockhart fell to consecutive balls and then Ireland made the winning hit. Ireland played a splendid game and clearly won the match tor his side. His attractive display was marked by a variety of well executed strokes. His chief hits were fourteen 4’s and seven 3’s. Score and analysis :— S urrey . First innings. Second innings.

II. L. H.—We have tried our utmost to do as you suggest, and still hope to be successful. THE “ FORCE’ JJ Cricket Bat has already and deservedly won favour among cricketers, for by Mr. Summers Brown’s patent every atom of shock caused by the impact of bat with ball has been not only prevented from reaching the hands, but made to add to the power of the bat, aud this without weakening the driving power of the handle. Hobbs, who played so many brilliant innings in South Africa during the past winter, made all his runs with a “ Force” bat. Less known at present, but not less worthy of attention, is the waterproof cricket ball, which has been placed on the market at a reasonable price so as to meet popular demands. The ‘ ‘ Force ” ball can be obtained at 72s. per dozen, and the “ Clipper” at 60s. per dozen. A catalogue containing full particulars of these desirable commodities can be obtained from Messrs. Summers Brown & Co., of 40, Whitecross Street, London, E.C.
