Cricket 1914

THE WORLD OF CRICKET. J u l y 4, 1914. for 66, and Hirst 150 for 62. They added 104 while together. Wilson and Booth also helped. Rhodes had one big slice of luck, for he played a ball on to his wicket without removing the bails. For the sixth time this season Yorkshire took only one point in a match. Barratt emerged with as much credit as anyone from this match of over 1000 runs, in which he took 11 wickets for 149. N o t t in g h a m s h ir e . ^ First Innings.

LEICESTERSHIRE v. KENT. At Ashby-de-la-Zouch, June 25, 26, and 27. One of Leicestershire’s newly arranged cricket weeks started well with this match, which produced a stern struggle and plenty of good play in various styles. There were 2500 spectators on Thursday, and good attendances on the other two days. Kent began badly, losing two wickets for 7 ; but then Humphreys and Woolley added 50. Five were out for 142 when Hubble's wicket was saved by the self-sacrifice of Troughton. who gave up his own, though his partner was at fault in the blunder made. Hubble played one of his best innings. He got his 92 in 140 minutes, and hit 14 fours. At 176 Skelding came with a rush, and took 3 wickets in 4 balls. The innings closed for 245, and with 115 for 3 up before the end of the day the home side seemed in 110 wise badly placed. But King, who batted in all 105 minutes for his 48, was the only man who could do much on Friday, and Kent had a lead of 44. Humphreys and Hardinge added to this by putting up 72 before they were parted. Then came another surprising bit of bowling. Lord (even less frequently used than his skipper, who took 5 for 6 v. Surrey at Loughborough) dismissed three men in the course of seven balls ! Humphreys, Seymour, and Hardinge were the three— a lordly feat. Hubble and Woolley put their side on top again by adding 126 in 90 minutes, and after the Wateringbury man had left Woolley went on to get his second century of the season—a magnificent 117 in 75 minutes, quite chanceless, and including a six and 13 fours. Three times during the day batsmen were bowled bv no-balls. At the close Kent were 307 for 8. On Saturday the innings was soon declared, and Leicestershire were set 375 to get for victory. They lost 2 wickets with only 9 scored ; but then Wood, risking nothing, and King, risking very little, added 91 in a couple of hours. King’s share of these was 70, an excellent innings, including 10 fours. Sharp did little : but Coe gave his captain useful help, and the score had reached 180 before Wood left, having batted 230 minutes for 66. With his departure hope became small, even of saving the game, and the rest faded away, Kent winning by 134 runs. MR. H. D. G. LEVESON-GOWER’S SIDE v. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. At the Saffrons, Eastbourne, June 25 and 26. G. A. Faulkner, John Douglas, R. H. Spooner (playing his first big game since his accident in the hunting-field during the winter of 1912-3), and M. C. Bird made Leveson-Gower’s side a stronger one than that against Cambridge. Of the blues available Colman, Wilkinson, Fraser, and Shaw were all absent from the Oxford side, and M. B. Burrows (Eton) was given his first chance. The Dark Blue innings was a genuine curiosity. Knott batted 150 minutes for 100, gave only one chance, and hit n fours. Melle stayed 100 minutes for 28. These two put on 106 for the sixth wicket. The rest aggregated 47 among them ! Spooner and Bird made light of the ’Varsity bowling, and sent up 133 in an hour, the old Harrovian hitting n fours in his vigorous 70, and the Marlburian- displaying all his old grace and skill. At call of time the total was 154 for 2. Oxford were losing practically all day on Friday. Faulkner made 70 (a six and 8 fours) in 80 minutes, Crutchley and he adding 67 for the fourth wicket ; MacLaren again gave a glimpse of his form ; and Sarel and Mclver added 61 in partnership. Knight and Howell, both batting really well, gave Oxford a gleam of hope by sending up 87 for the first wicket ; but Bristowe, who hit out well, was the only other man to do anything. The two South Africans did most of the damage, and had very similar figures, Faulkner taking 7 for 80 and Pegler 7 for 90 in the match. Leveson-Gow*er*s side won by an innings and 7 runs.
