The visitors had a weak side, with their best batsman, Bowley, away at the Oval on the opening day and thus unable to appear, and M. K. Foster also an absentee. They played P. J. Morris, of Evesham, and G. R. Bvrne, who has done duty for Warwickshire on a few occasions. Chester alone did very much for them r although he might have been caught at 17 his innings, which lasted two hours, was a good one, and he hit 10 fours. Cuffe aided him in a stand of 77 for the fourth wicket, and Stevens and Byrne put on 62 for the eighth. Geary bowled well, and was always difficult to play. When the home side batted Wood and Mounteney did little ; but the association of King and Whitehead lasted 90 minutes and pro­ duced 150 runs. Whitehead was missed in the fifties, but, this chance apart, played brilliant cricket, hitting 2 sixes and 14 fours in his two hours’ stay. With his dismissal play ceased, the score being 174 for 3, and King 55*. On Monday the Leicestershire batsmen made hay of the weak Worcestershire bowling. King and Riley added 53 in 35 minutes, King and Coe 159 in less than a couple of hours. No one could stay long with King after Coe’s dismissal for 76 (11 fours); but the left-hander went on to make his highest score in big cricket, and was still undefeated when the innings closed for 507. He batted 6J hours in all, gave no chance, and hit 33 fours. Most of his runs were made by means of the off drive and the cut. At call of time Worcestershire had made 135 for 3. The not outs were Morris and Cuffe. When the game was resumed 011 Tuesday the Evesham man hit out in fine style, a six and 13 fours being included in his 71, and the two added 104 in an hour. Lane also made some runs ; but the leeway was too big, and Leicestershire won by an innings and 16. Geary again bowled finely, and in the match took 11 for 112. W o r c e s t e r s h i r e .

At the close of play on Monday the visitors, who had cut up badly in their first innings before Hacker and Creber, looked safe to be beaten easily, for they were only 68 on with 4 wickets to fall in their second. But Williams played up capitally ; and, set 98 to get for victory, Glamorgan had to struggle hard against some good bowling by Mitchell and Overton, and in the event only pulled through by 2 wickets. Hacker again did great execution for them, and R. A. Gibbs, Maxwell, and Sweet-Escott batted well. For once Riches failed. W iltshire . First Innings. G. C.
