NOTTINGHAMSHIRE v. SUSSEX. At Trent Bridge, May 14, 15, and 16. Notts still leave out Hard- staff, but in this match played Payton and Alletson, who did not appear v. M.C.C. Sussex had Norman Holloway, the Cantab, in place of the colt, Roberts. Thursday and Friday were days of constant struggling for runs; no one scored easily or freely on either day. To begin with Sussex made 176, the highest and best innings being that played by young Bowley, who batted 130 minutes with only one bad stroke for 63. Robert Relf and he added 50 together. Barratt not only bowled well— his figures, good as they are, do not appear to have flattered him— but also distinguished himself by making a fine catch, high up, at short leg, disposing of the younger Relf. Fifty took 75 minutes to reach when Notts batted, and at call of time they had only scored 102 for 5. On Friday Payton played particularly well, and carried his bat after 80 minutes’ stay for 50. In Sussex's second innings Iremonger, keeping an accurate length and getting on a good deal of spin, had most of the batsmen tied up. Wilson scored fastest, but was not at his best; Albert Relf batted well for over an hour for 37, and Chaplin stayed 75 minutes for his 28. Thus far 30 wickets had only realised 524 runs, and Notts, set 193 to get for victory, looked like having to struggle hard. At call of time they had 29 up without loss. On resuming George Gunn and Lee were very slow at the outset, the first half-hour only producing 8 runs ; 50 took 80 minutes, but they were wearing down the bowling all the time, and Vincett’s advent at the crease at once quickened up the rate of scoring. Chaplin tried all his bowlers ; but when— at 181— the pair were separated the game had all but been won. The catch on the leg boundary dismissing Lee was a really good one. George Gunn reached his hundred, made in about 3 hours, with no chance, just after Lee’s departure, and at two o’clock Notts had gained a fine victory by 9 wickets. S u s s e x . First Innings. H. L.

I n a Yorkshire Council match Hodgson took 5 for 20 (Dewsbury and Savile v. Birstall). He only came in at the last moment as an emergency man, and certainly made good, as the Yankees say. LEICESTERSHIRE v. HAMPSHIRE. At Leicester, May 14, 15, and 16. For the first two days this match pursued a very even tenor, since while each side seemed to hold a slight advantage at times it was never turned into a big one ; but on Saturday the visitors assumed the upper hand. Hampshire’s first innings was rather disappointing ; in spite of three or four dropped catches no one could do much on a wicket that was never difficult, even if it was somewhat soft. The home side had the best of the day’s play, for they were 126 for 3 at call of time, thanks to stands of 54 by Wood and Wright and 48 (unparted) by King and Sharp. The latter was taken to 59 before Sharp left on Friday. King’s 57, valu­ able as it was, could not be called entertaining, as he batted 140 minutes, while Lord took 100 minutes to score his 35*. Their tactics appeared to have paid, however, for in spite of the failure of the tail before Kennedy and Jaques, Leicestershire gained a lead of 59. With Bowell and Brown accounted for and only 22 on the board, Hants looked in evil plight; but a fine stand of 92 (in 75 minutes) by Stone and Mead, neither of whom offered a chance, redeemed the situation, and afterwards Newman batted well while others failed, being 39* at the close, when the total was 220 for 7. Mead got his 92 in 160 minutes, and hit 9 fours, mostly to the on. A stand °f 53 by Newman (who batted 3J hours for his 68) and Kennedy on Saturday put their side in quite a decent position, the home team being sent in to make 231 to win. At that stage it seemed anybody’s game, for the collapse of the Leicestershire batsmen could hardly have been anticipated. Wright was out without a run scored, and at 16 both Wood and Whitehead left. Sharp played up very pluckily, and Lord gave him some help ; but 6 were down for 80. Shipman and Sharp then made the best stand of the innings ; but their efforts were in vain, and Hampshire won by 100 runs. Kennedy did fine work with the ball. There were about 4000 spectators present at the finish. H a m p s h ir e . First Innings. Second Innings.

Walsall), and J. P. Lloyd, 5 for 31 and the hat trick (Handsworth Wood v. Moseley) did the best bowling work of the day in Birmingham League matches. G. W. S t e p h e n s , the Warwickshire batsman, hit 6 sixes and 20 fours in his 161* for Moseley v. Handsworth Wood. He and J. Cooper (57*) added 209 unparted after 6 had fallen for 43, and at one time put on 100 runs in 24 minutes.
