220 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M ay 24. 1913. THE SCORE-BOOK. Lancashire v. Notts. Of the side that so decisively beat Yorkshire Brooke, Bardsley,.and Dean were away, and the last-named, whose absence was due to a .sprained knee, was much missed. When the match started on Thursday, May 15, the pitch played queerly, and the home side lost 4 wickets for 50. The brothers John and Ernest Tyldesley then made a stand, adding 54 in 65 minutes ; and later Heap played particularly well. Iremonger was always difficult to get away. Notts lost their captain at 34; but at callof time George Gunn and Hardstaff were unparted, having so far added 80. They added 48 more next morning, and after that the brothers Gunn put on 66, and John Gunn and Payton 47. The fourth wicket fell at 275; 35 minutes later the innings closed for 291. George Gunn batted finely for 4 hours, and hit eight 4’s. He gave two chances, at 30 and at 96, the latter a very difficult one. Both John Gunn and Hardstaff played chanceless innings. Only one man made any real show against Wass and Iremonger when the home side batted again. This was Ernest Tyldesley, who stayed 2i hours for his 26*,' keeping up an end in dogged fashion while others failed. Notts won by an innings and 24 runs, and it can scarcely be said that they owed much to luck, though the wicket was never so bad again as when Lancashire first batted. First Innings. L an cash ir e .

Umpires : Parris and Richards. Oxford University v. Mr. H. K. Foster’s XI. It was not a particularly strong side which the Worcester­ shire captain led into the field on Thursday. R. A. Bodding- ton, the old Rugbeian now up at Oxford, was included as wicket-keeper, and twelve a-side played. Oxford did badly at the outset, and the captain and A. C. Wilkinson, who added 73 in partnership for the fourth wicket, alone redeemed the general failure. Pearson, who ought to be a much more successful bowler than he is, for he is no “ mere mechanic,” took 9 fo j 4:—7 for 19 after lunch. Then he and Bowley put up 60 for the first wicket of the scratch side. At close of play the score was 124 for 5. No one could do anything with Fraser and Melle next day, and the innings closed n in arrear of the very moderate Dark Blue total. For a time it seemed as though Oxford would be put out cheaply again. .Four men.—Knott, Campbell, the Gaekwad of Baroda, and Colman— all left just as they appeared1 nicely set; and 5 wickets were down for 99. Then Wilkinson hit out finely, making his 49 in an hour; Forester helped him to add 52 for the sixth w icket; and Burton and Fraser slammed up 73 for the ninth in 45 minutes. The scratch side needed 322 to win, and lost 5 for 24 in 35 minutes, Peat, the old Sidbergh boy, taking 3 in 4 balls. Five were actually down with only 9 scored; but Bowley and O. C. Bristowe, who is likely to play for Essex before long, then offered some resistance. Bowley was soon out on Saturday morning; but Bristowe, Jewell, Turner^ and Isaac all played up well. They could not do enough, however, and in the end the Dark Blues won by 157 runs. Peat bowled effectively, and should be certain of further trial. First Innings. O xfo rd U n iv e r sit y .

Umpires : Daft and Quelch. Warwickshire v. Leicestershire. This match at Edgbaston was well attended. Foster won the toss; but only Charlesworth of the earlier batsmen did much. Missed in the slips before he had scored and with some luck later, Charlesworth yet played a capital and forcible game for his 82. Parsons helped him to add 72 in 55 minutes for the sixth wicket, and Jeeves hit clean and hard later on. Odell, whose reappearance for Leicestershire is welcome, though he is scarcely likely to play regularly, bore the brunt of the attack, as he has so often done in former years. He wras also one of the two Leicestershire batsmen to distinguish themselves in the first innings of Leicestershire, which was a very moderate show. He and Whitehead put on 55 for the sixth wicket. With a lead of t2i Warwickshire proceeded to c.inch their advantage. Going in again soon after one, they had by the time stumps were drawn made 313 for 6, Smith and Kinneir putting on 56 for the first wicket, Quaife and Foster 44 for the fifth, and Quaife and Parsons 102 for the sixth. Quaife was quite at his best, making no m istake; he reached his hundred in 170 minutes, and had 118 to his credit when the dav’s play ended. With 20 added on Saturday the innings was declared, Quaife carrying his bat for 129, his fifty-first
