J u l y i i , 1914. THE WORLD OF CRICKET. 337 MR. LIONEL ROBINSON’S X I v. OXFORD UNIVERSITY - At Old Buckenham, July 2, 3, and 4. Mr. Robinson’s side was a strong one in batting, and not exactly weak in bowling, for Pegler, now that he has found his form, is a host in himself, and there were others. Knight and Howell put up a fine stand at the outset, making 112 together, of which the Malvernian’s share was 82 (10 fours) made at a run a minute rate. Colman and Knott, like Howell, were rather slow ; Melle and Boswell batted very well, and added 61 for the sixth wicket. Pegler did a lot of work, and came out with good figures. The scratch side lost two good wickets with only 9 scored before call of time. Friday’s was a short day’s play, though there was more cricket that day at Old Buckenham than in any other first-class match. Its feature was the batting of Sir Timothy O’Brien. Starting only moderately, and never showing quite his old punishing powers, the Middlesex crack of yore made his 74* in just over 100 minutes. He went to 90 on Saturday, and when his side followed on, going in first, he started on another big innings. MacBryan helped him in a capital stand of 132 for the second wicket. O’Brien seemed tired towards the end; but he reached his century this time, his i n having been made in 200 minutes, with only one chance—if that could be called a chance which looked like going through Melle—one of the hottest of hot returns. In each innings this light of other days—not extinguished yet, it would seem—hit 14 fours. Bosanquet slammed hard, and hit Melle five times in one over for four. Stumps were drawn at 5.40 on Saturday, as there was no chance of a result. O x f o r d U n i v e r s i t y . D. J. Knight, c Schwarz, b Pegler .. .. 82 M. Howell, lbw, b Schwarz.. 50 G. R. R.

Most of the men who batted got runs, and H. O. Suther­ land for the visitors, and C. H. Titchmarsh for the home side, especially distinguished themselves. The little Hertfordshire man is piling up the runs very much as he did last year. B e d f o r d s h i r e . W. E. King, b Coleman 5 E. E. Apthorp, b Marsh 17 S. V. Graham, b Shelford .. 28 J. H.

This was the first experiment in Saturday starts at Nottingham, and about 5000 people were present. Of the earlier Notts batsmen only George Gunn did anything much, and 5 wickets were down for under 100. Whysall and Payton added 50 for the sixth ; but the big thing of the day was Gauld’s 90, made in 65 minutes, out of 115 added for the seventh wicket. He hit with great power, a six and n ^fours being included, and, though forcing the game throughout, only "gave once chance. In half-an-hour at the end of the day Derbyshire lost a wicket and scored 22. On Monday the start was delayed by rain. Only Cadman did much, and the visitors were all out for 113, Barratt bowling very effectively. At call of time on Monday Notts had scored 83 for 4, Hardstaff 39*. Hardstaff and Payton, the latter especially, scored freely on the Tuesday morning, Payton running to 50 in 55 minutes by means chiefly of excellent cutting. They had added 134 before Hardstaff left. Gauld hit out again, and the 154 added before the innings was declared on the last morning only took 80 minutes. Payton scored his 104* in n o minutes (13 fours) by as brilliant cricket as he has ever played. Set 386 to win, Derbyshire were in hopeless case. The first partnership realised 31, but four men were out for 42, and 5 for 63. At this stage Baggallay and Slater became associated, and made a determined stand. They added 103 in under an hour, and after they were parted Hurt and Humphries made a few more ; but the innings closed for 233, and Notts won—deservedly, though it must be admitted that they had the best of the luck—by 152 runs.
