Sandeman one nb. Umpires : Atfield and D aft. + In the North Yorkshire and South Durham League Darlington beat Redcar easily, thanks in large measure to the fine bowling of Goodrich (6 for 40). Guisborough (F. R. Bulm er 75, T. S. Furness 65) vanquished North Ormesby, after a declaration with 7 down, by 128 runs. Charles Townsend’s 50 was the only score of note in the Norton v. Stockton m atch, won b y the former by 139 to 37. For Norton N. S. A. Harrison took 6 for 26, G. Pinder 4 for 10. Bishop Auckland (J. Coates 56, Birch 53, F. W . Yielder 42) beat Thornaby b y 106 runs. The only game of the day at all closely contested was that between Saltburn (97) and W est H artlepool (75). For the winners G. Branch scored 47, and Tolson had 7 for 27, including the hat trick. L A N C A SH IR E v. E S S E X . A t Old Trafford, M ay 28, 29, and 30. H ornby had to stand down— due to an accident m et with while doing am ateur carpentering, not on the field— and G arnett captained. A lfred H artley made a welcome reappearance. The home side lacked Dean, Heap, and Huddleston, and the bowling looked weak on paper ; but Essex— who played P. Campbell and Reeves for the first time this season— made it look impressive on the field. E. Bowden, the Littleborough am ateur, did some really good work, but 246 in 5^ hours is not rapid going. Douglas batted 165 m inutes for 63 (5 fours), Freeman 155 for 38, Perrin (who alone did anything to brighten the play, though he stagnated at times) 160 for 60*, and Russell was little, if any, speedier. The rest took up time w ithout scoring any runs worth mentioning. Owing to rain and bad light, only 80 minutes p lay was possible on F riday, when Lan­ cashire scored 70 for 3, H artley and John Tyldesley getting nearly all of them . On the last day the wicket was difficult at the outset, and no real resistance was m ade to the bowling of Douglas and Louden. The seven wickets outstanding only realised 27 runs. Essex did so much better that it looked as if the pitch had undergone substantial im provem ent. Douglas and Russell put up 49 before a w icket fell, and Freem an and Russell added 54. The innings was declared, and the County Palatine set 292 to win. T h ey never looked like getting the runs, and only Ernest Tyldesley and Lawton showed much capacity to cope with the situation. Douglas again had a fine analysis, and for their victory b y 156 runs Essex were indebted h eavily to him. E s s e x . First Innings. Second Innings. J. W . H. T.

Umpires :— Bagshaw and Harrison. P a r s o n ’ s G r e e n and Lauderdale played a draw on Thursday May 28. C. J. Osborne scored 106 for Lauderdale (235 for 8, dec.) and J. S . Higgs 52* for Parson’s Green (93 for 4). O n Saturday Parson’s Green put up 249 for 1, dec., at home v. Richmond Town, who replied with 150 for 2— 399 for 3 wickets in the m atch. For Parson’s Green C. J. Bool scored 120*, F. G. Driver 113* ; for Richmond Town R. Cook made 65*. M ID D L E SE X v. H AM PSH IR E . F. A. T a r r a n t ’ s B e n e f it . A t Lord’s, May 30, June 1 and 2. There was a very fair attendance on the Saturday, something like 4,500 paying at the gates. Both sides fielded strong teams, B. J. T. Bosanquet m aking one of his rare appear­ ances for Middlesex. The visitors lacked C. B. Fry, however. They had first innings, and started none too well, Greig and Mead doing little, and Bowell succumbing after m aking 36 of the first 47. Tennyson batted freely, and Newman played in very solid style, staying 140 m inutes for the top score, 53. B ut the best stand of the innings was 60 by Brown, more restrained than usual, and Lieut. Harrison for the seventh wicket. Middlesex had an hour and a half’s batting in a bad light, and lost 4 for 65, Robertson being run out in attem pting an impossible single. On Monday, when over 9,000 paid gate, the game was full of dram atic changes. There had been rain on Sunday, and the wicket played a trifle queerly at first ; but a dogged defensive effort by W arner tided over the bad period, and with the pitch much improved, the tail bucked up wonderfully. W arner and Mann made a most valuable stand of 84 for the sixth wicket, staying 90 minutes together ; but the partnership of 95 by H aig and Litteljohn for the ninth pleased the crowd better. Essentially, however, the captain’s innings m eant more to the side than any oi the bigger efforts that followed it. When Hampshire batted again, 37 were up in half-an- hour, and all seemed going well for them. But at call of time 6 were down with only 42 added, and on Tuesday morning the venture closed for 91 Tarrant and 1 . W . Hearne did the damage. Needing only 34, Middlesex won by 9 wickets. For T arran t’s ‘ sake it_was a pity the game should not have lasted out better.
