Real summer weather was experienced on the first day of this match, which would have been played in May but for the death of King Edward. The cricket was always interesting and keen, and during the day twenty one wickets fell for 319 runs. During the Leicestershire innings Coe obtained his 1,000th run of the season and Hitch, when he bowled Shipman, his 100th wicket. The visitors lost Knight and White­ head in Hitch’s second over with only 6 scored, and never recovered from the bad start. Coe, badly missed in the slips when 5, batted rather quietly lor au hour, and Sharp, who showed the best form on the side, hit well for 37, making some capital strokes on the leg side. Hitch came out with a good analysis, but he bowled some loose balls and would have had better figures if he had kept a length. All the Surrey men were in difficulties with Shipman, who took nine wickets, the first eight in succession. When the innings had lasted half-an-hour he bowled Hayward and Hobbs at 37, and although Hayes and Campbell added 53 to­ gether the innings closed for 166. Spring was badly hit on the left hand and obliged to retire, but came in later and, holding his injured hand behind his back, hit successfully with the other. Thanks to him the last wicket added 29, giving Surrey the lead. When the game was stopped by bad light Leicestershire had lost Knight for 9 runs in their second innings. On Friday Leicestershire gave a fine display on the easy wicket and succeeded in setting Surrey 285 to win. Of that number 7 were obtained without loss by the end of the day. For their good performance the visitors owed almost everything to Wood and Whitehead, who, playing sound defensive cricket, put on 168 in three hours for the second wicket. The former batted 185 minutes for 93 without making amistake and hit only three 4’s. White­ head—like Wood, got rid of by Wilkinson— was in three hours and a-quarter for a most useful but unattractive innings of 81, which contained seven 4’s. The other players did comparatively little, though V. F. S. Craw­ ford scored 37 and Shipman and Astill added 35 for the eighth wicket. On a good wicket Surrey failed to make the runs on the next day and for the second time during the season were beaten at the Oval. With only a dozen scored Hayward slipped whilst running and was run out—a severe blow to the side, but with Hayes in a useful stand was made, 57 being added for the second wicket in 40 minutes ere the latter was lbw. Campbell made some good hits, including a splendid one over the ring at leg for 6 off R. T. Craw­ ford, but after making 18 out of 26 Astill beat him. Bush failed and Wilkinson, although always unsettled, helped to put on 49 in 35 minutes for the fifth wicket, which fell at 145. He was caught off Wood, who had gone on at 144, and who, in completing his over after lunch, bowled Hobbs whilst trying to place a ball to leg. Hobbs batted for two hours and 10 minutes for his faultless 61 and hit three 4’s. Whilst he was in there was always some hope for the side, and his dismissal was a great disaster. By free and lively hitting Hitch and Smith added 33 for the seventh wicket, the former, who was ninth out, scor­ ing 39 in half-an-hour—a fine effort. Spring, although having a bone broken in his left hand, batted with his right in plucky fashion. Score and analysis :— L e ic e s t e r s h ir e . First innings. Second innings. C. J. B.
