2 6 8 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 7, 1913. and Dillon 62 for the fifth (55 minutes), and Powell played a capital innings of 48. Neither of the amateurs gave a chan c*; but Seymour and Woolley were rather badly missed. The home side had a bad half-hour at the end of Friday’s play, losing three good wickets for only 21. On Saturday there was a collapse, Fielder bowling well. No one reached 30, the best stand being 61 by Smith and Thompson for the fifth wicket, and quite early in the afternoon Kent won by 10 wickets.

Durham University. At Sheffield, May 24. Sheffield were two men short, and two of the Durham side fielded as substitutes. It w'ould scarcely appear that the game is in a very flourishing con­ dition at Sheffield University, and the easy victory of Durham is not surprising in the circumstances. Perhaps there is some extenuation to be urged, however. C. W. Pollock hit four 6’s and twelve 4’s in his big innings, and he and E. P. Hardy made 156 together for the first wicket. In Sheffield’s first R. Baxter took 5 wickets for 21. D urham U n iv e r sit y . First Innings.

Played at Durham on May 28, and won by the county side, which w as chiefly composed of youngsters. Turnbull hit four 6’s and six 4’s in his 59; he has played for the county. A. L. Ford headed the Charterhouse bowling averages last season, and w as fifth in the batting with 22.88. In the absence of E. B. Proud, the winning eleven was captained by W . J. Nimmo, who bowled well, as did Leighton for the University. E. P. Hardy, of the Univer­ sity, played last year for Yorkshire II., and averaged 29; he is reported a “ good, sound little bat.” D urham U n iv e r sit y . E. P. Hardy, c Ingram, b Lowson... 6 C. W.

White, of the Wellingborough team of last year, got his first chance, and took hold of it with both hands. It was largely owing to his bowling that Yorkshire (who lacked Sir Archibald White and Booth) were dismissed for the moderate total of 266 on a perfect pitch. Apart from Rhodes’s innings, there w^as very little indeed in the batting. The England man was in about 3 hours, and hit thirteen '4’s. Denton helped him to add 67 for the third wicket, but there w as no other partnership of any note. Throughout the Cambridge field­ ing w'as of the highest class. Four of the wickets were taken in the first overs after bowling changes. Before t'me Cambridge had 65 up for no wicket. As in the Northants match, E. L. Kidd, who seems to be in tip-top form, was the central figure of the Light Blue innings. Batting a trifle over 3 hours, he gave no chance whatever, and hit a 6 and thirteen 4’s. His display was the more meritorious as the wicket was still queer after a thunderstorm in the night when he came in, and Cambridge, from 65 for o, had slumped to 95 for 5. Calthorpe and Naumann gave the old Wellingtonian best help, the eighth wicket producing 61 and the ninth 95. White stayed long enough for Kidd to take his score from 94 to 123, and the tenth added 44. Rhodes and Wilson wiped off the deficit of 74 before they were parted, and Saturday’s play began with the county 84 on and with 8 to go. Denton soon left, and Hirst followed him 16 later. But then Drake was joined by Kilner, and, playing in really brilliant form, these two added 175 for the fifth wicket in 95 minutes, the length of K ilner’s stay. Drake batted altogether 2 .1 hours. There were twelve 4 ’s in his excellent 108, and eleven in Kilner’s equally fine 77. The innings was declared at 361 for 7 on T asker’s dismissal, and the ’Varsity had the practically impossible task of scoring 288 in 160 minutes set them. Cumberlege and Davies were soon o u t; but Lagden and Mulholland added 66 for the third wicket, and Kidd again batted finely, so their defeat never seemed probable. In the match 33 wickets realised 1151 tuns. Rhodes bow let! in something like his old form, and 10 for 112 on such a pitch is an analysis really worth noting.
