J u l y i i , 1914. THE WORLD OF CRICKET. 333 The Score Book. SURREY II v. KENT II. At the Oval, July i and 2. " Razor” Smith reappeared in the Surrey second ranks after a considerable interval, but was of more use as batsman than bowler. Kent camc very near winning the match outright ; they had 108 to get in an hour at the finish, and went hard for the runs, but two batsmen were run out, and Smith proved difficult to get away, while Myers got wickets, so that 28 were still needed at call of time. Weigall made a century, and Whitehead and Colqu­ houn batted well for Kent. For Surrey Myers was top scorer in each innings. Perhaps the best feature of the game was Povey’s wicket-keeping. He stumped three batsmen and caught two, and though he allowed 27 byes the fact that he had Freeman’s googlies to take accounts for this. Freeman had plenty of work in the match, and took 9 wickets, but was a trifle expensive. S u r r e y II. First Innings. Second Innings. Alwin, c & b Freeman Abel (T.), c Hickmott, b Smith F. S.

On the first day plav was shortened by a thunderstorm, and the chief features of the game were Woolley’s capital bowling and an excellent 87 by Hayes. To Surrey’s total of 177 the home side replied with 8 for 2—J. S. Denton and Haywood. The pitch was not easy on Thursday. Thompson hit out well, and William Denton batted with endless patience; but 7 were out for 114 when the latter left. At that stage Wells and Walden made a plucky stand of 51 in 35 minutes, and, though they could not quite manage a first innings’ lead, North­ ants were only 9 behind. The wicket was 110 better, and indeed was probably worse, when Surrey batted again ; Hobbs, Harrison, Bird, and Hitch all played well, and the total reached 144. Smith bowled admirably, and had all the men opposed to him tied up. As on the first day, Northants had a short spell of batting before the close, and again lost two wickets, this time for 17. They would have needed 137 for victory on the Friday, an interesting position. But rain made play impossible, and Surrey took first innings’ points.
