W. 21 0 Leicestershire v. Surrey. At the Oval, August 2 8 , 2 9 , and 3 0 . The visitors made poor use of a fast wicket, for though 100 went up with only three out, disaster began when Rushby displaced Hitch. De Trafford’s 4 4 in 5 0 minutes included seven 4 ’s, but Whiten head took a weary 2 £ hours for his 4 2 ! The fifth, sixth, and seventh wickets fell at 1 3 3 , and three men failed to score. Far different form was shown by Hobbs and Hay­ ward, who had scored 1 2 9 unparted at the close— their thirty-seventh three-figure first wicket stand for Surrey’s first wicket. Hobbs was much the faster, and by dazzling play made 7 2 of the first 1 0 0 in 7 5 minutes. Despite changed weather conditions, Surrey ran up a big total on Friday. Hobbs left at 1 5 0 for 9 2 (twelve 4 ’s) made in under two hours, and Hayward at 1 71 for a more restrained 5 6 . After free hitting by Bird and Hayes, Knight and Harrison added 5 4 , and Knight and Spring 68. Smith, by fierce hitting, scored 3 9 in >20 minutes, and the effort closed for 4 2 3 . On Saturday the end soon came, and not long after the interval Surrey had won an unexciting game by an innings and 1 6 1 . L e ic e s t First Innings. C. J. B.

A t Bournemouth, August 2 8 , 2 9 , and 3 0 . Of Hampshire’s 2 5 7 from the bat, Tennyson, Mead, and Abercrombie scored the enormous proportion of 1 9 9 . The former pair added 1 1 6 in an hour for the third wicket, and Abercrombie, con­ tinuing to hit while his colleagues failed, was last out. He made 6 5 in 1 0 5 minutes (eleven 4 ’s), with one life. Tenny­ son hit up a faultless 8 3 (fourteen 4 ’s) in 9 0 minutes, and Mead had six 4 ’s in his 5 1 . The last six wickets went for 9 7 , Gange taking five of them for 3 9 . The visitors played up well after the early dismissal of Sewell and Roberts. Jessop, who received only twenty balls, scored 4 2 out of 5 1 in 2 0 minutes (two 6’s and four 4 ’s). On Friday the last six only added 9 7 , Dipper’s 8 3 in 1 4 0 minutes, with one chance, including ten 4 ’s. The feature of the home sides second innings was another magnificent effort by Philip Mead— his ninth hundred of the year. Hants declared at 3 5 8 for 8, leaving their opponents the task of getting 3 9 9 . Mead’s faultless 1 7 1 * in 2 2 0 minutes included twenty-three 4 ’s. Gloucestershire broke down completely on a spoiled wicket. Langdon alone reached 2 0 , Newman and Kennedy bowling irresistibly. Hampshire won by 3 1 5 runs. H a m p s h ir e . First Innings.

Humphries and Har­ dinge sent up 5 0 before the former fell to Weston. Hard­ inge, in reaching his fifth 100 of the season, topped his 2,000 runs. He batted nearly 4 * hours for his 1 1 0 , hitting only eight 4 ’s. On Friday, after a morning thunderstorm, bats­ men fared ill against Blythe and Fielder. By lunch seven were out for 9 4 , and it was only due to Weston ( 2 2 *) that the total reached 1 3 1 , or 1 0 5 behind. Kent, after losing Hardinge and Seymour cheaply, increased their lead by 8 1 , thanks to a stand by Day and Humphreys. Humphrey’s, 3 1 * on Friday night, took two hours in all for his 4 9 . The side were all out for an addition of 41 on a now very diffi­ cult pitch. This collapse left Middlesex 2 3 0 to get. Tar­ rant went at 3 7 . Robertson and J. W. Hearne added 6 2 in 5 5 minutes, and the game seemed won. But at 9 9 Robertson was stumped for a valuable 4 7 , and when Weston joined young Hearne 7 9 for 6 was the score. In 4 5 minute- they added 4 1 , when Hearne went for a superb 9 6 made in under 2 £ hours with a 5 and seven 4 ’s. The tail struggled hard, but Kent won an exciting match by 5 runs. K e n t .
