Bird Sept. 2 28 Brown (G.) „ 4 56 G. L. Jessop „ 4 Only thirteen amateurs have qualified for the list. Last season the number was nine, excluding colonial players. Twelve new names appear—those of A. H. Hornby, Tyldesley (E.), P. G. H. Fender, Kilner, Haywood, Parsons, H. L. Wilson (who had never played in a first-class match till this season), Lee, Harrison, Russell, and the two Dentc.ns of Northamptonshire. Five men scored 2,000, Philip Mead reaching that figure on August 8, Hobbs on August 21, Hardinge on August 28, James Seymour on Sep­ tember 2, and J. W. Hearne on September 9. Only Mead and Hobbs of these five had ever reached 2,000 before. Rhodes (1,963) failed narrowly. TAKERS OF 100 WICKETS. Order. Batsman. Date. Order. Batsman. Date. 1 Booth (M.W.)

Sept. 3 The new names here are those of Huddleston, Drake, and Jeeves. Only the fact that he played against the Australians and South Africans last year robs the latter of the distinction of having taken a hundred wickets in the season in which he first appeared in big matches. As was the case last season, no one reached 200 wickets. 1,000 RUNS AND 100 WICKETS. Seven players qualified for this list. Albert Relf was first (July 24); then came Tarrant (August 11), Booth and J. W. Hearne (both August 19), S. G. Smith (August 27), Drake (August 29), and Hirst (September 3). In five cases the 1,000 was reached first; but in those of Drake and Booth the hundred wickets came first. Newman scored 975 and took well over a hundred wickets, Thompson scored 902 and had nearly 150 wickets; Rhodes scored nearly 2,000 and took 86 wickets; and Frank Woolley scored 1,760 and took 83 wickets. Two or three more matches would probably have given each of the four the double distinction. O f the p la y ers w h o had n ever appeared in a first- class match in E n g la n d the m ost p rom inen t were un doub ted ly the H o n . L . H . T e n n y so n , H . L . W ils o n , and B .
