Umpires— Harrison and Barlow. Sussex v. Somerset. At Eastbourne, August 11, 12 and 13. Accidents kept out Poyntz and Daniell, and with Bajana also absent it was a weak Somerset side that had the best of the first day’s play at the Saffrons. P. R. Johnson’s 100 was the cause of their gaining an advantage. He batted about 2\ hours, and drove freely, most of his ten 4’s being drives. Hyman helped him to put up 86 for the first wicket. The tail slumped before young Tate, who going on a second time had the last 4 wickets in 5 overs for 5 runs. Sussex fared badly r H. L. Wilson stayed 100 minutes for 40, in the course of which he conpleted his 1000 runs, and Chaplin, who began with a damaged hand, was hurt again, and had to retire temporarily, played very plucky cricket, and was still there at the end of the day, when Sussex, with 7 down, were 119 behind. On Tuesday Lang and Vincett were bowled middle stump by successive balls from Bridges, whose talent seems to have been hidden under a bushel till the last week or so, and though Tate kept up his wicket for a time while Chaplin continued to play pluckily Sussex were 93 behind on the first inpings. Somerset started badly, losing 3 wickets for 18, but Braund, though terribly slow at the outset, stayed, and first R. E. Hancock and then Robson gave hin good help. Hancock and Braund added 58, and the other veteran pro. helped his old colleague to put on 70. Vine bowled his leg-breaks with great effect. Eventually Sussex were set 268 for victory, a heavy task in the light of what had gone before. It looked heavier when Vine left without a run ; but 73 had been posted before the third wicket fell, and before time Lang and Albert Relf had added 96 more unparted. Their stand that evening and next morning, when they put on 71 more— 167 in all—before the professional was out for an invaluable 59, fairly won the match. When Lang left victory was in easy sight. He had hit up 141 in 170 minutes, with 17 4’s in all directions, and though he was missed at least thrice, it was a splendid innings, full of force and fighting quality. Sussex won by five wickets. The card of the match reveals a series of coincidences worth noting. In the first innings of Somerset, the first and second wickets fell at 85, the seventh and eighth at 217, the ninth and tenth at 222 ; in their second innings the first fell at 16 ; in the first of Sussex, the first and second went at 17, the third and fourth at 31, and the fifth, sixth and seventh at 87 ! Thus seven times during the match two or more wickets fell at one total. First Innings. P. R. Johnson, c Vincett, b Vine .. 100 Hyman, b ju p p .. .. .. 35 Braund, c Relf (A.

At Sheffield, August 11, 12 and 13. Denton re-appeared for Yorkshire. On Monday, two records were made, Haigh bringing his total of wickets in first-class cricket to 2000 , and Tarrant reaching his 1000 runs, thus equalling Albert Relf’s 1000 runs and 100 wickets for the season. There were slight showers, but Middlesex kept possession in the time available, scoring 247. Tarrant and Saville sent up 109 before a wtcket fell. The former’s 77 (eleven 4’s) was a brilliant innings, though he might have been out at 34. A keen fight for the lead took place on Tuesday, Yorkshire just failing to score it. Wilson and Denton were out for 4, both bowled by Polley. Then Rhodes and Kilner added 106 in 85 minutes, Later on Kilner and Drake put on 48 for the sixth wicket, and the former was unlucky in not reaching three figures. His 94, with only one chance in 170 minutes, included twelve 4’s. J. W . Hearne finished the innings in summary fashion, and Middlesex reopened by losing Tarrant for 4. Hearne helped Saville to add 63 in an
