244 THE WORLD OF CRICKET. J u n e 13, 19 14 . N O R T H AM P T O N SH IR E v. K E N T. A t N ortham pton, June 4, 5, and 6. The pitch 011 the first day seems to have had more than a touch of fire in it, and most of the batsm en tum bled out quickly. Northants brought in Tomblin vice Vials, and K ent had Fairservice and Jennings for A. P. D ay and Captain Sarel. A good crowd saw a full d ay’s cricket, in the course of which 20 wickets fell for 227 runs. Wells and Claude Woolley bowled unchanged for the home side, and the former was in great fettle. H um phreys and Hardinge put up 45 for the first wicket ; but there was scarcely the semblance of a stand afterwards. For their useful lead the home team had W illiam Denton to thank. He stayed three hours for his 45, an innings of monumental patience, but quite invaluable. Rain seemed to have eased the wicket 011 Friday, for only during the first half-hour or so did the ball get up much. H ardinge left at 20. Seym our was missed before he had scored, but gave 110 chance afterwards. He and Hum phreys put on 58 in 45 m inutes ; he and W oolley, who hit a dozen fours and was at the top of his form, 138 in 80 minutes. Seym our was still in possession at the finish, when 2} hours’ play had resulted in a Kent total of 237 for 3. On Saturday 102 more were added on a pitch which grew worse as the day wore on. Seym our did not stay, only adding a couple of runs ; he batted 150 m inutes, and hit 12 fours. Hubble and Huish, with some luck, hit out. Troughton declared, setting the home side 285 to get for victory. Just one-fifth of this number was obtained, B lyth e bowling in deadly form, and K ent won by 227 runs. K e n t . First Innings.

Morrison gave Garrett a very difficult c and b chance at 78, and after 200 put up two which m ight have been taken ; he was still not out at call of time with 233 to his credit, which beat the previous record score for Cambridge. The total of 394 for 4 had been m ade in 165 minutes. On Saturday morning the innings was declared, and M.C.C. sent in to get 429 for victory. Morrison hit 4 sixes and 30 fours in his brilliant innings. There was never any chance that the runs would be made, and when 4 wickets had fallen for 47 a sm all total seemed likely ; but Mitchell showed some of his old-time form, and Jack Hearne helped him to add 75 for the fifth wicket, while later Humphries and Osborne batted in determined style. Cambridge won their first victory of the season by 177 runs. C a m b r id g e U n iv e r s it y . First Innings. Second Innings. J. S. F. Morrison, b Pegler.. .. 75 not out .. .. 233 G. E. C.

A t Fenner’s, June 4, 5, and 6. In Jessop’s absence Frank Mitchell captained the M.C.C. side, and the Australian Freshman, H. F. Garrett, played for it. On the Cambridge side H opley and H ylton-Stewart appeared instead of Lagden and W oodroffe. G. E. C. W ood, the old Cheltonian, hit out finely at the beginning of the m atch, making 53 of the first 62 and 75 of the 102 which the first w icket yielded. He was only in 55 m inutes, and hit 15 fours. Morrison and Mulholland added 66 for the third wicket. The old Carthusian batted tw o hours for his 75. The only other stand was one of 63 (in 35 m inutes) by Davies and H ylton-Stewart for the eighth wicket. A t call of time M.C.C. had m ade 127 for 4. Their innings closed for 247 on Friday, W eigall reaching 50, while Tack Hearne and Humphries, b y rather laboured methods, contributed 46 each. Thus far the m atch had run a very commonplace course. It emerged from the rut when, after two Light Blue wickets had gone cheaply, Mulholland joined Morrison. In 90 m inutes these tw o added 255. The bowling against them was far from being weak ; but they were very com pletely on top of it all the time. Mulholland never gave a chance, and hit 16 fours, three of them C a m b r id g e B o w l e r s ’ A n a l y s is .

Umpires :— Atfield and O ’Connor. I n a charity m atch played at Guildford on W hit-M onday there was a rem arkable finish. W ith but one wicket to fall in their second innings, Guildford’s opponents (Mr. Chaplin’s W imbledon X I) needed 107 for victory. They got them, thanks to A. C. Rose, who played right through the innings for 83, and W . Kennedy, who went in last and scored 51*. The match attracted a good attendance, and besides the determined stand of Rose and Kennedy other features of interest in the cricket were the bowling performances of Rose (9 for 102) and Morrell (8 for 98) for Mr. Chaplin’s team and of Gates (9 for 94) and W evman (6 for 68) for Guildford. U ntil the big last wicket stand scoring in the match had ruled rather low— a fact which m akes the feat of Rose and Kennedy all the more notable. S t . L u k e ’ s (Woodside) were beaten b y 29 runs (65— 36) in a very small-scoring m atch 011 a wet pitch b y Norwood Excelsior. F'or the winners Hooper took 5 for 12, Simmonds 4 for 18 ; for the losers Carter had 4 for 29. H a m p st e a d N o m a d s whole-dav team had no m atch 011 Saturday, G uy’s Hospital scratching owing to their sports. The half-day team went to Perivale to play U niversity College, but got no game. The College had scratched by wire, which wire reached the Nomads’ secre* . tary’s office after he had left it.
