War­ wickshire had 110 amateur except their captain ; Sussex played full strength save for the substitution of Roberts for Holloway. The visitors gave a very even batting display on Thursday, six men getting from 25 to 49, but no one reaching 50. Vine batted 100 minutes for 25, and Jupp and Cox had a partnership of 58. Foster’s five wickets were all bowled. At call of time Warwickshire had lost one wicket for 23. There was little prospect of a finish on Saturday, though there might have been one but for the fine forcing play of Foster, who scored 60 (8 fours) out of 82 in 75 minutes and a very steady innings of 56 by Baker. The saving of the follow-on made a draw a foregone conclusion ; and though, thanks to some quick scoring by Wilson and Robert Relf, Sussex were able to declare at 102 for 1 it was evident that the play thereafter was not taken seriously, for Street was put on to bowl and actually secured 3 wickets. Sussex took first innings’ points. S u s s e x . First Innings.

T a s k e r , who had a good trial for Yorkshire a year or two ago, and showed considerable promise, if not scoring very largely, hit up 102 (17 fours) in about as many minutes for Pontefract v. Rotherham. H a r t l e y (7 for 26, Batley v. Dewsbury), Brookes (5 for 19, Elland v. Rastrick), and Spencer (5 for 28, Spen Victoria v. Mirfield) had good bowling figures in Yorkshire Council matches. For New Brighton v. Sefton Bennett took 8 for 31, getting his last 7 wickets while only 3 runs were scored off him. For Liverpool v. Birkenhead Park W. N. Tod (48 and 5 for 47) showed all-round form, which contributed largely to his side’s victory by 23 runs. YORKSHIRE v. HAMPSHIRE. At Hull* July 2 and 4—no play on July 3, owing to rain. Runs were hard to get all through this match. Hirst returned to the White Rose side, and Holmes and Whiting were preferred to Birtles and Oldroyd. The visitors lacked Major Greig, and brought in Remnant for Down. Yorkshire had 117 up with only 4 men out ; but Brown got 4 wickets cheaply, and the innings closed for 152. Denton was caught at short-leg off his forehead, the ball glancing up from his bat as he pulled it. When Hants batted Drake took 3 wickets in his lirst over—the first, fourth, and sixth balls. A shortened day’s play ended with Hants 34 for 3. Mead and Brown made a useful stand on Saturday, adding 60 in all, and Newman kept up his end to the finish of the innings; but the rest were helpless victims to Hirst and Drake. The home side’s second innings was declan d at 142 for 4, good batting by Wilson and Hirst .having made a declaration possible ; but the visitors managed to avoid defeat outright, Yorkshire taking first innings’ points only.

E. Clark’s Civil Service and Business College.) There’s a fashion up to date (very prevalent of late !) Of generally running down the good old “ Summer Game,” Saying : “ Cricket’s got to go ! ” and that 4 Cricket’s beastly slow ! ” And other rotten comments meaning more or less the same. Do you say it’s not exciting when both the teams are fighting, And straining ev’ry muscle, ev’ry nerve, to win the day ! When the last two men are in, there’s a dozen runs to win, The clock is slowly striking—there’s a quarter still to plav. The ball is in the air, a “ nervy ” man is there . . . . The issue of a thrilling game is hanging on the catch ! There’s a silence still as death, and we almost hold our breath— As we wonder vaguely if we’ve won or lost the match : There’s a moment of suspense, excitement is intense; Then he holds it—and so Vict’ry has crowned the College team. And we lift him shoulder high, and we almost crack the sky, Yelling, shouting, screaming—pandemonium reigns supreme ! So do not join the throng, for the crowd is often wrong, And here it is in error as it is in other things. Cricket hasn't 4 got to go ”—Cricket isn't 4 beastly slow ”— It is the game par excellence, the game that’s 4 fit for kings ! ” 44 O zo n e .”
