H a m p s ie a d N o m a d s beat Barnes, who started well, having 80 up for 2, then experienced a slump, and were 8 for 115, and finished up eventually with 163.— J. W. Hunter 52. The Nomads had 5 down for 62, but A. J. Fullerton (48) played up well, and there was a useful last (eighth, for the side were two short) wicket stand by L. D. Matthews and H . G. Bloodworth. The total reached 177. For the Nomads Fullerton took 5 for 39, J. D. A. Scott 4 for 19. WARWICKSHIRE v. LEICESTERSHIRE. At Edgbaston, May 18, 19, and 20. Lord strained an arm in bowling before the pame began, and Mounteney was wired for to replace him. The home side had only two amateurs available of the half-dozen or so who play when they can : but they had Foster, a host in himself. They began in great style. Kinneir and Parsons, in first, still had possession at luncheon, when the younger player was 97 and the score 177. The runs had been made in 2 hours. The second ball after lunch disposed of Parsons without addition ; he had driven with great force, scoring most of his 13 fours by full-shouldered methods. Kinneir batted 185 minutes for his 100. and, like his partner, made no mistake at all. He hit only 8 fours. Of the rest only Quaife and Foster did anything, and King came out of a longish spell of bowling with a really fine analysis. At call of time the visitors had scored 43 for one wicket. Though the innings included seven double-figure scores the batting on Tuesday morning was of a moderate description, no one distinguishing himself specially. Wood and Whitehead, who added 74 for the second wicket, made the best stand. Foster bowled very effectively. With a lead of 129, Warwickshire started their second venture none too well. They lost their first five wickets for 88, Parsons and Foster making nearly all of these, though the skipper was scarcely as much at home as the tall pro. The sixth wicket fell at 122 ; but then Baker and Smith got the measure of the attack, and scored at a fair pace, adding 71 imparted in the last 70 minutes of the day. Foster declared at 245 for 8, leaving Leicestershire 375 to get for victory The last innings began wretchedly, and after a short stand by Wood and Mounteney wickets again went cheaply. Shipman and \Vright alone of the rest gave any sign, and Warwickshire started their season with a victory by the big margin of 258 runs. SOMERSET v. KENT. At Taunton, May 18, 19, and 20. Somerset had J. C. White in their team, and it was mainly owing to his bowling that the Kent score was kept down to moderate proportions. Humphreys and Hardinge put up 77 before the first wicket fell; but there were seven down for 194. Then Hatfield slammed out mightily, and scored 62 in an hour, hitting an eight (four overthrow), a six, and half-a-dozen fours. Blythe and Fielder also hit out, and added 52 for the last wicket in 25 minutes. The home side lost 2 for 36 before call of time, and the one feature of their innings when it was resumed on Tuesday was the fine steady batting of A. D. E. Rippon, who played right through for 87. He had hard luck in not reaching three figures ; but for his failing to do'so his last two partners, the veteran A. E. Newton and Bridges, were in no way to blame, for both played up in the gamest possible fashion, and helped to give the score a much less meagre appearance than had at one time seemed probable. Fielder bowled with much of his old deadliness, though not quite at his old pace.- With a lead of in , Kent batted again, and a good stand was made for their second wicket by Humphreys and Seymour, while later the Ditton man and Woolley scored fast together. The former reached his hundred after 135 minutes at the wickets, and was still not out at the close of play, when Kent were 335 on with half their wickets still outstanding. They held on for some time in the morning, Hatfeild and Humphreys adding 66 in 30 minutes for the sixth wicket; but at 257 for 7 Troughton declared, leaving the home side 369 to get for victory. Humphreys was still in possession, having batted 170 minutes for a sound innings, in which there was only one mistake, a chance to cover at 65. In about an hour the home side loss 4 wickets for 69. MacBryan and Braund then made a stand. Two or three others did something ; but nobody did enough to render Kent’s ultimate victory at all doubtful, and in the event the champions won by 193 runs.
