CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 2, 1 9 1 0 . NORTHANTS v. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE Playel at Northampton on May 26, 27 and 28. HAT-TRICK BY WELLS. Northamptonshire won by 237 runs. The home side showed a decided improvement in this match and were rewarded with a victory. They did well to make 344 in their first innings after losing J. S. Denton and Seymour for 14. The foundation of the good score was laid by Smith and Pool, who put on 103 for the third wicket in an hour and a-quarter. Pool gave a most attractive display and hit a 6 and five 4’s in his chanceless innings of CG. Smith might have been caught at the wicket when only 4, but that was the only blemish in a bright display. Vials hit out freely and well, and with W. H. Denton added 88 for the sixth w ick et: his leg-hitting and driving were particularly good, and he hit eight 4’s and seven 3’s and offered only one chance—to cover-point when 70—in making his 75. East afterwards did well, and the ninth wicket added 44 runs and the last 42. In the last 20 minutes of the day Notts scored 36 for the loss of Iremonger, and on the following morning Jones and Hardstaff remained together until their partnership had realised 197. Jones was then bowled for 121 made out of 212 in 160 m inutes: he hit fourteen 4’s, but his excellent display was marred by a chance before he had scored. The second wicket fell at 212, but the innings closed for 266. Wells bowled with great effect and did the hat-trick at the expense of George Gunn, John Gunn and Payton. Sixth out, Hardstaff was batting for nearly three hours, and hit eight 4’s. Leading by 78, Northants increased their advantage upon going in the second time, Pool and Seymour making 87 for the first wicket. The other players did not do so well,-but when play ceased the side were 241 runs on with three wickets in hand. On the third morning East and Manning hit freely, and Notts were set 317 to win. The task, as it happened, proved altogether beyond their power. A t 5 Iremonger and George Gunn were out to suc­ cessive balls, at 15 Jones wTas bowled by a ball he »lid not attempt to play, and at lunch-time half the side were out for 50. The remaining wickets gave little trouble and Northants gained a fine victory by 237 runs. Thompson and Wells bowled admirably, the former’s five wickets all being bowled down.

At the Mansion House, on Monday, the Lord Mayor presided over an enthusiastic gathering of supporters of tbe London Play­ ing Fields Society, amongst those present being Lord Harris, Lord Kinnaird, the Chairman of the London County Council, the Bishop of Barking, Sir Melvill Beach- croft, Sir E. Chandos Leigh R.C., Mr. W. H. Patterson, Mr. S. Christopherson, the Mayors of St. Pancras and Padoington. Brigadier- General Bowles, Major-General Trevor, and others. In welcoming the gathering the Lord Mayor said the society was doing an enormous amount of good in encouraging youths and young men to take part in games, not as a detriment to the work they had to do, but for relaxation and to give them enjoyment for the time being. Sir E. Chandos Leigh, K.C., who confessed to having been chairman of the society for the twenty years of its existence, described the progress made during that period. Start­ ing with the provision of playing accom­ modation for only 300 persons, the society now had 270 pitches, accommodaiing 6,500 cricketers and footballers, and 156 acres of freehold land, which were protected for ever from tbe encroachments and inroads of the buildtr, and would remaiu op n spaces for the people of London. '1heir first freehold was Prince George’s Ground, near Baynes Park Station, which was named after King George, who as Prince of Wales had been president of the society almost since its commencement, and who in May last, with the Princess of Wales, opened the Fairlop Oak Playing Field, near Ilford. An earnest appeal was made by Lord Harris, Sir Melvill Beachcroft, Mr. T. Hall Hall, the Chairman of the London County Council, the Bishop of Barking, and others, for a sum of £33,000 to clear the society’s liabilities and to place it in possession of an unencumbered estate on its “ comiDg of age ” next spring. It was announced that a sum £ 1,000 had been received towards this fund from the City Parochial Foundation. CRICKET ON THE GOLD COAST. REPRESENTATIVE ELEVEN v.
