J u l y i 8, 19 14 . THE WORLD OF CRICKET. 357 SUSSEX v. WARWICKSHIRE. At Hastings, July 9, 10, and 11. The big match at the Oval deprived the visitors of Parsons and Jeeves, Foster refusing the invitation to play for the Gentlemen, as he doubtless considered his team already weakened sufficiently. The Sussex committee would not let off Albert Relf. His brother was absent, taken suddenly ill, and Charlwood was brought in. N. J. Holloway was able to play—a lucky thing for his county. Although Bowley (promoted to first wicket down in Robert Relf’s absence) and his skipper put on 86 for the third wicket, both batting well, Sussex had 7 down for 144. Then Vincett drove hard for 63, he and Cox adding 88 in partnership, and Street kept up an end so well that he and Cox added 65 for the last wicket. Cox played a really good innings, of a steadier order than Vincett’s. Four Warwickshire wickets were down for 62 by close of play. On Friday, after Stephens had left, Quaife and Smith played up in great style. The latter was tw’ice let off ; but Quaife never made a bad stroke, and his 90 in a little under 3 hours included 13 fours. Smith made his 89 in about 2 hours, and hit as many as 15 fours. The pair added 137. Once they were parted wickets fell fast, the last four only producing 17. Holloway bowled splendidly. His length w'as always good, and he varied his pace more than usual, with capital results. Sussex forced the pace in their second innings. Vine and Bowley (again playing remarkably well) added 109 in 85 minutes for the second wicket, and Jupp and Chaplin (but Chaplin had some luck) 83 in 45 for the fourth. Then came a slump, four more going for 37, the score at the day’s end being 249 for 8. Baker dislocated a finger while fielding. Jupp, 64*, went on to make 85 on Saturday. He batted 140 minutes and gave no chance. Street helped him to add 43 for the ninth wicket, and the wicket-keeper and Holloway put on 33 for the tenth. The Midlanders were set 394 to win. Foster, hitting well, made 48 of 63 for the first wicket; but there followed a complete collapse before Holloway and Vine, and the side were all out for 134, Sussex winning by 259 runs. Holloway, with 13 for 169 in the match, did great work for his side, and has probably never bowled better. S ussex . First Innings. Second Innings. H. L.

Glamorgan had all the best of the first day’s play, and on the second were able to declare with 4 wickets down, setting their opponents the heavy sum of 335 to get for victory, with 3 hours to go. Bancroft and Maxwell added 151 in partnership, the ex-Somerset man hitting 3 sixes and 11 fours in his 102*, and Bancroft one six and 7 fours in his 81*. Thanks largely to the veteran Charles McGahey, who kept up an end for a couple of hours, and with help also from C. H. Douglas and the captain, C. J. Round, Essex II played out time ; but of course Glamorgan took first innings’ points. Hacker for the home side and Hills for the visitors bowled well. G l a m o r g a n .

Moorside, took 6 for 36. It is a pity Gloucestershire cannot have his help regularly Lawrence Cook had 7 for 61 (Werneth v. Oldham). B o w l e r s were not all collared and smitten on Saturday, in spite of the heavy scoring. For Nelson v. Colne Brooks took 5 for 29 and Preston, late of Kent, 5 for 36. Brooks had three in four balls. Walmsley, for Accrington v. Haslingden, finished up with 8 for 35 after having taken 5 for 1 at one stage. W i l s o n (not G. A.) had 5 for 44 (East Lancashire v. Lowerhouse); Wilson (G. A.) 5 for 56 (Todmorden v. Burnley); and Morgan 7 for 52 _(Ramsbottom v. Bacup). CORNWALL v. DEVON. At Penzance, June 10 and 11. In spite of a good innings by Vibart and some excellent bowling by Whiting, Cornwall had all the worst of the first day’s plav, at the close of which they were only 58 on with 4 wickets to go. On Saturday, however, Tresawna played up well, and the tail helped, with the result that Devon were put in to get 120 to win, and were dismissed for 95, Cornwall thus bringing off a surprise win by 24 runs. They owed much to Whiting, whose 13 for 94 in the match represented splendid work on a fast pitch. C o r n w a l l . First Innings. Second Innings. H.
