H u g ill 30*, S. K em bell 26). On Satu rd ay two teams were in the field, and against strong opponents, too— C hisw ick P ark and South Hamp­ stead. U n lu ck ily , the Nom ads could not collect fu ll strength, among the absentees being C. D. M clver, J. P. Blane, H. E. C raw furd , A. C. P. A rnold, J. M. de Freitas, Charles Haywood, G. W . C attley, A. Blom field, C. B rown­ ing, and the captain, H. B row ning. T h at a homeless club with a membership of only some three dozen should be able to bring off two such matches lack in g so many of their best is no sm all thing. At C hisw ick the Nomads totalled 190— L. G. K irkpatrick 35, F. C. B o u lly 33, H. G. Bloodw orth 32*, R. F . Popham 27, II. D. Warner 24. Chisw ick P ark (195 for 8— L. Meakin 69, H. A. R. Snow 40, A. C. Hayhoe 34*) won in the last over. T h e most excitin g incident of the game was a w onderful catch made by C. Haywood. It was off a tremendous hit by R. M. W orlo ck, that would have carried clean out of most grounds. Haywood had to run 40 yards or so at top speed, and got the b a ll one-handed at the fu ll extent of his reach. Another cap ital catch was that by which R. W. G eddes in the slips dism issed N. Robertson. A gainst South Ham pstead the Nom ads declared at 203 for 8, a stand of over 80 h avin g been made by L. D. M at­ thews (66*) and W . A . H irst (25*), while L. E van s (47) also contributed substantially. South Hampstead made 104 for 7 (J. E. E v ery 23). Ipsw ich and E ast S uffolk met W itham , and, declaring at 245 fo r 8, dism issed their opponents for n g . T his decisive win was m ainly due to a cap ital partnership of 104 for the sixth w icket— a fte r 5 had fallen for 113— by P. P. C ornell (75*) and J. Forrest (66). Both played particularly good cricket. D r. Sleigh (38) and F. L. Titch- marsh (25) also made run s; W aters (5 for j i ) and T itch- marsh (3 for 32) bowled effectively. Only C. S. R ichard­ son (51*) did anythin g of note for the losers. T h e I. & E.S. second team were defeated at Stowmarket. They made 162 (A. E. B ailey 47, E. G. Penston 45), and the home side scored 171 for 8 (H. S w ift 53). Colchester and E a st E ssex (200 for 7, dec.— D r. S. Dawkes 61) drew w ith C olchester G .S. Masters and Old Boys (100 for 5— E . G. F enn 51*). A capital gam e between Sussex M artlets and the G en­ tlemen of E ssex at the County G round, Hove, on Friday and Saturday ended in a win for the visitors by 3 wickets. The M artlets scored 217 (Gordon B elcher 36, F. E. Rowe 32, E. C. B aker 31) and 198 (Captain F. J. Postlethw aite 61, E. C. B aker 37) to ig6 (C. P. M cGahey 59, J. W . I' gerton-G reen 36, L. A. de Jongh 32) and 220 for 7 (L. A. dc Jongh 43, J. K eble G uy 42, C. P. M cG ahey 40, E . C. Coleman 28). W . G. Moore took 6 w ickets in the M art­ lets’ second innings. East G rinstead (253— D.

H arris 56*) beat the W om po W anderers (183— A. R. Inger- soll 51). A. C. Somerset took 5 for 63. T he oddly-named touring team looked lik e Forest H ill, with a dash of Catford. W orthing had Charlton P ark for visitors. W . D. B eyer, who had made a century at Steyning on the T hursday, ran up 127 for the London team , who declared at 250 for 8. L eft two hours to get the runs in, W orthin g went for them. Tw o w ickets were down very q u ick ly; but A. M. Harrison (96— one 6, eight 4’s) and L. Boorer (90*—- seven 4’s) scored at a fine pace, and at c a ll of tim e W orth ­ in g, w ith only 3 w ickets down, had made 235. E . C. W righ t, who has played for both K ent and G loucestershire, made 98 for a scratch team v. C hrist’s Hospital. He is a m aster at the B luecoat School. F or H ayw ards Heath v. H ove W estern Star, young T ate, the county colt, took 9 w ickets for 14. A. E. Sandell played a m agnificent innings o f 104 for O ld W hitgiftians v. Spencer. He reached his century in 50 m inutes, and gave no chance. Seventeen 4’s were in ­ cluded. . W ith W . D. H ackney m aking 79 and R. E . B aker 58, the old boys totalled 283.

A t one time his analysis read 30., 2m ., ir., 6w. He tw ice took two w ickets with successive balls. St. G eorge’s had 7 w ickets down for 7 runs at one stage. Melrose scored 80, F. G all m akin g 21, and the last w icket (Clayton and D ickinson) adding 22. Sutton’s Sussex tour was a tremendous success in every way. T h ey won every m atch played. O n ly two ducks were registered again st their batsmen d u rin g the week. T h e highest score against them was 138, the lowest for 180. R. M. B ell took his hundredth w icket for Sutton this season during the tour, his ta lly for which was 26 for 199. M. F. S. Jew ell had 23 for 188.

C h allen the batsman), their second at 83, and their eighth at 88 ! M. F . S. Jew ell took 4 w ickets w ith 4 successive b a lls, and in the next over R. M. B ell did the hat trick. A ll the seven victim s were clean bowled. T hen, to finish up the innings, Leighton hit B ell for three 6’s and a 4 off consecutive b alls, and was caught on the boundary next ball ! In the Eastbourne match W . P. Gann and J. G. M. B ell took the score from 58 for 5 to 207 for 6, hittin g splendidly. Jew e ll’s bow lin g figures in this game h ave an eloquence of their own.
