300 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u l y 2 8 , 1 9 1 0 . ESSEX v. KENT. Playel at Leyton on July 25, 26 and 27. : won by 180 runs. Between one o’clock and half-past six on Monday Kent were kept in the field whilst Essex ran up 252 for four wickets against them. They took the field without Hatchings, A. P. Day and Fielder, whilst Perrin was unable to appear for the home side. Very soon after the game started Freeman (•!.) received a blow on the head and was obliged to retire, and with only 5 scored Douglas was bowled. A. L. Gibson and Gillingham, however, completely changed the aspect of the game by adding 145in 130 minutes for the second wicket. The former drove in fine style and in obtaining his 71 (his highest score to date for the county) hit six 4’s. Kenneth Gibson helped to put on a farther 53 in 40 minutes, and Freeman (J.), resuming his innings, stayed whilst 34 more were added. Gillingham, who made most of his runs in front of the wicket, carried out his bat for 116, but he was missel when 59 and again when 75. On Tuesday the cricket was for some time quieter than one thought advisable, considering the strong position Essex held. McGahey, however, made 52 of the 85 added in an hour and a-quarter with Gillingham, who took four hours and three-quarters to score 145. The latter hit twelve 4’s in his most valuable innings, but he offered two chances — when 59 and 75. The rest of the side did little, and the innings closed for 348, tho last five wickcts a Iding only 26. Altogether, Essex batted for five li mrs and 20 minutes. Kent, in response, made a p>or start, lo>ing Humphreys and Dillon for 29, but Seymour was in fine form and with Ilooman added 92 in 70 minutes; he hit eight 4’s and offered no chance. Woolley and Hooman put on 63 together, but the last seven wickcts fell for 50 runs to Mead and Buckenham, and Essex led by 121 ou the innings. Hooman was lucky, but make some very good strokes during the 135minutes he was in. 1n the last quarter of an hour of the day Essex made IS for the loss of Freeman (J.). Yesterday Mead was soon out, but Freeman (E. J.) played a free, and therefore valuable, game, and with Douglas put on 44 in 40 minutes for the third wickct. A. L. Gibson left first ball, and after his dismissal Gilling­ ham quickly made 27. Freeman (E. J.) was bowled when he had made 63 in 100 minutes—a most serviceable innings which contained five 4’s. McGahey was in for 10 minutes and was then sent back scoreless, but Kenneth Gibson atoned for his tactics by making 47 by very free cricket. At lunch the innings was declared with eight wickets down for 195, leaving Kent three hours and a-halfin which to make 320. Those who expected Kent to put up a good fight must have been sadly disappointed, for in two hours and a-quarter they were all dismissed for 139. The result was practically placed beyond doubt when Humphreys, Seymour and Hooman were out for 22. Dillon and Woolley made a plucky attempt to stem the tide of disaster, but both were out by the time the total had reached 76. Hubble, Hardinge and Huish reached double-figures, but defeat, and a heavy defeat, could not be avoided. Tremlin took six wickets in the innings and deserved his success.

PJayecl at Nottingham on July 25, 26 and 27. Drawn. Heavy rain prevented a ball from being bowled in this match until half-past twelve on Tuesday, and then Gloucestershire began to bat in a bad light. With only 3 runs scored both Brown and Salterwere bowled by Wass. The ball was not easy to get away on the slow ground, but Board and Langdon managed to stay and put on 76 for the third wicket. Both, however, were favoured by the field. Follow­ ing Board’s dismissal came a delightful display by Jessop, who, hitting a 6 and ten 4’s, made 57 of the next 61 runs in half-an-hour. Langdon batted 150 minutes for 74- a skilful innings—though not quite flawless ; he hit eleven 4’s. The latter was fifth out, at 179, but after he left the rest could do little with Riley and the innings closed for 207. When Notts went in the wicket was for some time easy, owing to the effect of the heavy roller. Jones was soon out, but the brothers Gunn added 54 and at the end of the day the total was 101 for four wickets. Yesterday the wicket still favoured the attack somewhat, and Notts fared so badly that only 26 runs were added for the last six wickets: Dennett accounted for four of them for 15 runs. By making 30 for tho first wicket when Gloucestershire went in the second time, Board and Salter made a most useful addition to their county’s lead. Langdon left at 42 and Jessop, after being bowled by a no-ball before scoring and missed when 3, survived to make 24 out of 32. Board played very steadily for 31, and with C. S. Barnett and Huggins reaching double- figures, Notts were set 215 to win. Wass and Riley bowled unchanged through the innings, though tho latter's wickets cost sixteen and a-half runs each. The home side, thanks mainly to Gunn (G.) and Ifardstaff, made a very fair start, but Alletson failed. Payton, fortunately for them, played a useful innings of 35, but it was Iremongcr who saved a collapse. There was no little excitement during the last half-hour, first owing to the possi­ bility of Gloucestershire winning and later as to the ability of Notts to save the game. When stumps w'ore drawn the latter, with only one wicket in hand, required 25 runs to win—a task which, not­ withstanding that Iremonger was unbeaten, would probably not have been performed.
