P rob ab ly they w ould not have m inded much if th ey had go n e under, for it was a fine sp orting gam e. E. W e lls (102*— tw elv e 4’s) and J. B rister (74— two 6’s, four 4 ’ s) added 157 for their fifth w icket. T here was some splendid hittin g fo r Pinner. G. S. L ee’s 86 include^ a 6, a s, and eleven 4’ s; in W. O. L ig h t’ s 42 there were two 6’s and three 4’s, and E . Reed hit eight 4’s in his 47. In ju st four hours 483 runs w ere m ade fo r 12 wickets. A gam e of very sim ilar type was seen at Slough, where the home captain won the toss— he seldom does this !— v. B rixton, and of course took first in nin gs. W. Adam s (30) and T . R. K en t (67) sent up 78 fo r the first w ic k e t; K en t and E . J. L e a t added 46 more. L eat w as out at length for 81, forceful (as eleven 4’s and five 3’s testify), though not free from fau lt. M eanw hile fou r batsmen had falle n in quick sucecssion, a ll bow led by L. S. G ruchy (fast le ft ) ; but W . E. B aker (26*) and G. D ew ley (22) stopped the rot, and added 55 in 20 m inutes. A t 242 for 8 the closure was applied. B rixton had 105 m inutes le ft, and they w ent for the runs lik e heroes. T h e 21 of F . A. B oys in cluded fou r 4’s and a 3 ; he and G. W . C legg both fe ll to fine catches by L eat in the slips. It w as while A . J. T rollop e (64) and W . D av is (91) were together, how ­ ever, that runs cam e so fast and furiously. D avis hit at everyth in g, and made his g i o f 140 put on for the fourth w icket. Tw o hits out of the ground, a 5 (4 from over­ throw ), and tw elve 4’s were included in his score. T rollop e was out at 212, B ak er brin gin g off another fine catch. T he B rixton captain h it six 4’s. W ith a quarter of an hour to go 31 w ere still w anted, but M. Moorhouse (22*) w as the righ t man for the situation. T h e very last b a ll of the match was h it by him for 4, and the gam e was won ! C laph am R am blers inflicted a sign al defeat upon Parson’s G reen. T h e y declared at 251 for 5 (A. L indsay S lop er 69, H. R. Jordan 67*, W . M. Longhurst 39, C. R. Brow n 34). T h e visitors to Merton H a ll Road could only m ake 78 A . C. H igg s 27), the W est Indian googly-m an, C. R. B row ne, ta k in g 7 for 32, and T . A. H arris 3 for 18. A t Charlton P a rk the home side lost 5 for 79 v. B alham W an d erers; but C. T . T u rp in (101*) and T . H. Nordbloom (38) added 106 for the sixth. T h e in nin gs w as declared at 224 for 8. W a ll (4 for 50) bow led w ell. In the 90 m inutes le ft the visitors scored 130 for 4 (P. K . W o o llaco tt S3*, W . J. A tfield 26, C. P. W o o llaco tt 22). Richmond T ow n (132) beat E a lin g D ean (96) at P erivale. T h e w icket was good, but the bow lin g was better, and each side, after a decent start, suffered something like a collapse. D errick W an derers paid th eir first visit to Berkham sted, where they were most h osp itab ly entertained by S ir A . C. C ory-W righ t, B a rt., and L a d y C ory-W righ t. T h ey cracked up rather bad ly, fo r a fte r gettin g rid o f the home team fo r 146 (of which T. E v a n s, who has played fo r C ar­ m arthenshire, m ade a care fu l 63), they lost 6 for 48, and were all out for 97— C. E. Norm an 27, H. M. G orringe 19. Berkham sted batted again , and declared at 182 for 7 (E. C. B ishopp 43). O n ly 50 m inutes were le ft to get the 152 needed for victory. T h an k s to a cap ital 43 by G orringe 90 were scored for the loss of 5 w ickets in the time. Lessness P ark’s innings v. E lth am at E lth am could be divided into three stages— a w retched start, w ith 3 down for 16— a stand of 92 by E. Upton (52) and C. I. S. Wal ace ( 4 1 )— a n d a collap se, all ou t 140. E ltham started even w o rse; 5 were down for 44, but then A. W . R amm ell (97*) and J. C. W ood (36) took the score to 137, and eventually they made 197 for 7, a hefty-lookin g colt nam ed W . G. G race being g.* T h is youngster showed quite prom ising form ; he m ight be worth sending in earlier. Jenner, the G range pro, taking a ’busm an’s ho lid ay, bow led w ell (5 for 51) for L. P. A t W ick fo rd 322 for 8 w ickets were scored in the game between the home side and A rlin gton and Leytonstone. G. W inm ill made 100* and R. W . Patm ore 60 for W ickford (187 for 6, dec.); J. Hoare (52) and C. H. D avis (32) were chief contributors to A. and L .’s 135 for 2. L au derdale (222— H. O. Jones g6, G. R. C rofts 42) easily beat Tottenham House (138) at H arlesden. Jones’s was a good knock, but C ro fts punished even more freely— his score was made up of ten 4’s and two singles. South W est Ham , at T id a l B asin, put out Stam ford H ill for the moderate total o f 131, C. W e lls and J. S. Cossington bow ling w ell, though no outstanding analysis was achieved. Then the home side proceeded to run up 230 for 4, passing their opponents’ score w ith only one w icket down. E . J. Connor p layed a splendid innings of 152*, g iv in g no chance, and h ittin g w ell a ll round the wicket. B eulah ( u g — L. W . Burbidge 22, Baster 21) again drew with B ick ley and W id fo rd (104 for 7— G ran ger 37*, an innin gs which saved his side from defeat. B eulah II. (66— J. W . Hemmans a plucky 2g) had a bad time w ith Aptus (188 for 8, dec.). G reville picked up again a fter a bad day on Ju ly igth, and made 244 for 7, dec., v. North M iddlesex at Crouch End on Thursday. Gordon Jannin gs (73*), C lem ent Jones (6g), R. V . M enhennith (28*), and “ L. B. K a y ” (27) were ch ief scorers. North M iddlesex’s reply was 166 for 7— V. W arboys 78, F. Sm ith 43. Jones took 4 for 6 for the visitors. T he Saturday m atch with St. Albans was also drawn. St. A lbans, by level batting, made 219, L. G. Hosier (41) top scorer. G reville played out time with 108 for 4— W. D. B aylis 25, Jannings 24*. Jannin gs took 5 fo r 61 in the St. A lbans innings. G re ville ’s scores in these two matches aggrega ted 352 for 11. T h e y were all out for 26 a few days earlier. Such is the glorious— you know the r e s t! G reville A got a nasty kn ock from one of the L. & N. W .R . team s, who ran up 250, the highest again st the side for years. C. B utcher (62), H. F ountain (44), R. Thom p­ son (38), and R. J. Judd (36) were chief run-getters. A. M. D unn’s 6 for 82 in such circum stances was a pretty good perform ance. G reville w ere dism issed for 48. T he B team had a keen game w ith Brondesbury I I I ., and only lost by 10 runs. Scores : 91 (J. D owner 47) and 101. T he issue was still in doubt w ith the last two Brondegbury men in. Hampstead Nomads drew a capital game w ith U pper C lapton on Thursday. J. P. B lan e did some fine vigorous | hitting in m aking 88 for them ; and C- W . H ayw ard (27)
