Umpiies : Butt and Carlin. Hampshire v. Worcestershire. At Southampton, July 10, n , and 12. With Stone'and A. C. Johnston, Hants were almost at full strength. In the two hours’ play which was all the weather permitted on Thursday the visitors lost half their wickets for 64. At one time, indeed, so remarkably did Jaques bowl that four were out for 13, and he then had the extraordinary record of four wickets for no runs. Foster was out to a marvel­ lous catch by Mead. Arnold and Chester, the 17-year-old colt who recently scored his first county century, stopped the rot to some extent, putting on 42 in an hour before the rain came. Friday was “ Chester’s day.” The youngster was unbeaten when his side finished for 227, having scored 128* in 3J hours by perfect driving and leg-hitting. His best strokes were a 6 and thirteen 4’s. Though five bowlers were tried, it will be seen that Jaques and Kennedy halved the wickets at moderate cost. Chester now followed up his bright batting by such good bowling that Hampshire were out in under two hours for just 100 less than their opponents’ total. iSprot alone offered any resistance, and though Cuffe bowled well, the boy trundler carried off the honours. Starting again, Worcester lost Pearson for 0 — he and Burns subscribed 6 between them in the game— but then a stand of 102 in an hour by Bowley and Foster brought them to 118 for five, or 218 in front. A splendid struggle distinguished the final stage. The last five men went for 31, the bowling figures being especially flattering to Brown and Newman. At one time it looked as if Hants would make light of the 250 to win, thanks to Mead’s dashing 57 and Bowell’s sound 65; but finally they only scraped through by two wickets, so excellent a length did Burrows keep. The match will be remembered for Frank Chester’s batting and bowling. This lad, who was born in Herts in 1896, scored 155* for Bushey School when aged twelve.

Umpires : Webb and Brown. Northamptonshire v. Somerset. At Northampton, July io, n , and 12. The first match of the “ Northampton W eek.” The home side, fresh from their big win over Yorkshire, put out Somerset in 160 minutes for 150, though the pitch seemed easy. The start was not unpromising, Hyman and Bisgood making 45 for the first wicket, but by lunch five were out for 102, and though there were six double figures nobody could get 30. In fact, Robson’s 28 in an hour represented the best and highest; he hit five 4's. Wells (reappearing after a long absence due to a strain) and Thompson took all the wickets, but the latter bowled the best. Northants quickly lost Haywood and Woolley for 26, when a stand of seventy minutes by W . Denton and Smith added a valuable 52; Denton’s 42 out of 108 took him two hours. When tried a second time at 78, White captured three in ten overs for 16, so that at close of play Northants were only 122 for six. This they increased on Friday to a lead of 37, thanks to Freeman scoring 30 in 15 minutes. On batting again the westerners never looked anything but beaten. Braund’s double failure after his recent successes was especially noticeable. Robson and Hippisley alone played Thompson and Smith with anything like confidence; for the fifth wicket they added 46 and the professional batted an hour for his 42 a'nd hit six 4’s. Northants won at 5 p.m. by nine wickets, though this margin might have been closer if Smith had not been missed when 4. As it was, he enjoyed the distinction of being the season’s first amateur to reach 1,000 runs. In getting his 47* in forty minutes, Haywood delighted the crowd by punishing White for 20 in one over. Thompson’s match record was 10 for 107. It was Northants’ eighth victory this year.
