272 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. Jun e 7, 1913. on m a k in g strokes all round the w icket in his own cool manner, reached 50 in 95 m inutes, and 100 in 180, batted in all 190 m inutes, and hit fifteen 4’s. T h is is his third suc­ cessive century. He had a sim ilar run of success in 1901, when he scored 118* v. Y o rk sh ire on June 15, 108 v. London C ou n ty on June 18, and 117* v. D erbyshire on June 20 and 21. In 1904, too, he made centuries in four successive m atches, though not in four successive innings, scoring 110 v. Surrey, 24 and 123 v. London County, 2 and 131* v. Leicestershire, and 193 v. H ants. T h o u g h four of his partners in succession g a v e some help, none of them did an yth in g notable. Thom pson only bowled tw o ov^rs. At call of time Northants w ere 307 behind w ith 8 to go . When once W oolley and Seym our were parted on T uesday morning w ickets fell fast, and 8 were down for 114. Thompson, who overn ight w a s unw ell, had been told by the doctor that he o u gh t to g o home and to bed. H e did n ot; he batted, and w a s now joined by W ells. T h e D aventry man hit finely (one 6, five 4’s included in his 50), and 85 w ere added in 50 m inutes. Busw ell, w h o seldom stays long, partnered T hom pson, and the last w icket actu ally put on another 85 ! Thompson carried his bat for 80, made in 140 m inutes. W ar­ w icksh ire suffered a heavy draw b ack in the inability of Foster, also unwell, to bow l, and an injury to Sm ith, which m ade him below par. W hen they batted a g a in Stephens made a useful 33, and Charlesw orth played a dash in g innings o f 65 in an h o u r; but the rest, bar Q uaife, could do nothing w ith W ells, who had 6 of the 8 w ickets that fell, and T u es­ d a y ’s telose of play left the gam e still open, the home side 272 ahead w ith only tw o w ickets to fall. T h e rem aining W arw icksh ire w ickets only added 20 runs on W ednesday, and the visitors went in to g e t 293 to w in. W ith practically all day for the task, there w a s no occasion for hurry, and East and W oolley took no undue risk. B efore E a st w as out 124 were up. 11evwood w a s rather sh aky, but settled down after a tim e, and he and Sm ith put Northants ina w inning position. Thompson and Seym our were together when the w in n in g hit w as made. It w a s a highly creditable win, achieved by sound and consistent batting. First Innings. W arwickshire . Second Innings.

T he visitors were not by any m eans really w eak in bow ling, th ou gh the side contained no adm itted crack except G . G . Napier, who scarcely seems in his best form yet. O xford lacked I. P. F. Campbell and R . V . Bardsley. W . G . K . B osw ell go t his first trial this season, and played a fine innin gs o f 93. He and Forrester, the old R ugbeian, added 119 together in an hour after Cobbold had clean bowled Knott and Colman w ith successive deliveries. Forrester drove in g rea t style, hittin g a 6 and thirteen 4 ’s. T h e ball which bowled him must have taken him in completely, for he did not even attempt to play it. Melle ga ve Bosw ell useful aid. T he latter batted 150 m inutes in excellent form, and hit ten 4 ’s. Burton w ith H avelock D avies a s partner lashed out, and they added 106 in an hour; thereafter Lord slammed 44 in 20 minutes. T h e d a y ’s play realised 412 runs, the Foresters having 5 for o at stump-draw ing. T here w as little of note in T u esd ay’s play, except for some excellent bow ling by Melle, who can swerve the ball, and a good innings by G . R. R . Colm an. T w in in g declared O x fo rd ’s second a t 147 for 6, and the Foresters, w an tin g 428 for victory, lost 3 for 32. B urrough and Sarel then stopped the rot, and added 51 unparted before call of time. T h ey did not stay very long next morning, and of the rest- only H. H . M arriott, of M alvern, C am bridge, and Leicestershire fame, did much. He played a brilliant innings of 77, reaching h is '50 in 25 m inutes. Melle again bowled excellently, and looks like a certainty for his blue. Oxford won by 195 runs. First Innings. O xford U niversity . Second Innings. F. H.
