J u n e 13, 1914. THE WORLD OF CRICKET. 247 H AM P SH IR E v. N O T TIN G H AM SH IR E . A t Southampton, June 8, 9, and 10. Except that Remnant played in the place of Harrison, the home side had the same team as in the previous m atch ; and N otts made no change, being still without Wass and Oates. John Gunn and Lee were suffering from injuries which prevented their bowling, and the attack looked thin on paper. But Hampshire found run-getting a difficult proposition. They only made 225 in 5 hours on the first day, and their eventual total of 246 seemed a poor result for so long a spell of batting. Iremonger bowled right through the innings at one end, and B arratt also had enough work, especially for a young ’ un. He came out with good results. F ry and Bow ell put up 62 for the first wicket, and Bow ell and Greig added 67 for the secon d ; but after that 6 more wickets went down for an addition of less than 40. Brown and Kennedy then made a stand, and were not parted till Tuesday morning, when they had added 77 runs. Rain had affected the pitch, and N otts found Kennedy difficult to play. T h ey had seven men out for 59 ; then Iremonger and Jones— the great first w icket pair of other days— added 60. Iremonger stayed to the end, but got little more help, and H ants led by 103 runs. This advantage th ey increased before the end of the day, for after two wickets had fallen for 14 F ry and Mead added 56, and Mead had another good partner in Kennedy, who aided him in a stand of 68. Mead batted 95 m inutes, and hit 11 fours. Sprot and Brown were together at the close, when H ants were 299 on with four to go. On W ednesday Brown soon le f t ; but Sprot made a few more, and Jaques <4 fours) and Remnant also contributed usefully, with the result that N otts were sent in to get 352 to win in 285 m inutes. Some teams m ight have gone for the runs, though the odds would have been heavy against their being g o t; but N otts preferred to p lay for the draw. H ardstaff played freely as long as he stayed, hitting 7 fours in his 42 ; but Lee and W alker went cheaply, and for some time thereafter George Gunn and Iremonger played for safety. Later Gunn scored fast ; his 50 took him 150 minutes to reach, but he added 46 in very quick time and b y fine cricket. His stand, of 115 with Iremonger made •defeat unlikely, and eventually Hampshire had to be content with first innings’ points. H a m p s h ir e . First Innings. •C. B.

Umpires : Atfield and Butt. D e r r ic k W a n d e r e r s (232) scored their seventh win out of 8 matches over Union Castle (133— S. T. Bishop 33). They made their runs, despite bad light, in 2J hours. H. M. Gorringe (57) and W . G. Hankin ( 33 ) put up 88 in 40 minutes for the first wicket, and T. W . Brown (48) and R. T. Childs (45) also scored well. .Childs took 5 for 48, and is evidently at the top of his bowling form just now. L A N C A S H IR E w. K E N T . A t Old Trafford, June 8, 9, and 10. Rain cut short the first day, and weather conditions altogether were of the w o rst; but Lancashire partisans were on good terms with them selves at the end, for 273 for 4 against the champions was distinctly good business. H ornby and James Tyldesley replaced Law ton and Cook on the home side, and W . A. Powell was preferred to Jennings for Kent. H ornby and M ake­ peace sent up 104 in 85 m inutes for the first wicket. The captain, out at 116, hit one six and 8 fours. The big hit sent the ball on to the top of the refreshment room stand. The Tyldesley brothers added 86 at a good pace for the fourth wicket, the elder brother’s leg-hitting being adm irable. H e was in 105 minutes for his 70 (13 fours). His junior and Heap were in possession at the close. On Tuesday play had to be stopped at 5.20, owing to bad lig h t; but before that Lan­ cashire had taken their total to 475 and Kent had lost tw o good wickets for 86. Ernest Tyldesley carried his overnight score of 51 to 95 ; he gave no actual chance, and only made two fau lty strokes high up in the slips. The tail gave Heap excellent help, and he ran to 97 before getting out— hard lines, as he has never yet reached 100 in first-class cricket. He was forcing the pace with the last man in, too, having added 30 to his score since H uddleston’s dismissal. It took him hours to reach 50 ; but afterwards he travelled much faster. Am ong his hits were 3 sixes and 9 fours. B lyth e’s analysis in so long an innings is worth note. K ent lost 2 for 49 ; but then Seym our and W oolley played on to the premature close. H uddle­ ston’s fine bowling put K ent in Queer Street on W ednesday. The wicket was sticky, a warm sun having acted into its sodden surface ; and the champions did by no means badly in m aking as m any as they did, but the Earlestown man deserves every credit for a specially good performance. He took the last 7 wickets. W oolley made his 57 (9 fours) in 65 m inutes, and Hubble hit with tremendous vigour, reaching his 50 in 20 minutes. He was caught b y Makepeace off a m ighty drive. N o one else did anything, and, following on 263 in arrears, K ent lost H ardinge and Seym our with only 7 on the board. W oolley and Hum phreys were the only men who could do much. This tim e H eap took the bowling honours. In defeating K ent b y an innings and 153 runs Lancashire lowered the champions* colours for the first time this season. L a n c a s h ir e . A . H.
