J u l y 18, 1914. THE WORLD OF CRICKET. 361 KENT v. ESSEX. At Tunbridge Wells, July 13 and 14, Essex lacked Douglas, and left out Carpenter and Freeman, Captain Turner, Bristowe, Davies, and Buckenham all being available. Two of Kent’s stalwarts, Hum­ phreys and Woolley, were at Lord’s. On a fast pitch Blythe met with such success that the visitors were all out for 138, the only stand being one of 63 by Gillingham and Perrin. The clerical batsman made his 61 in 51 minutes, hitting a dozen fours. Hatfeild’s catch at long-on dismissing him was a really fine one. Kent lost Troughton early and Hardinge at 51 ; but then Seymour (missed at 15 by Reeves, who had the sun in his eyes) and Hubble added 109 in 70 minutes, and Jennings proved another good partner for the Pemburv man. The two had put on 143 in 80 minutes .before close of play, when Kent, with 303 for 3, had established a winning lead. On Tuesday they went on until they had added 220. Jennings’sshare of these was 106, made in 135 minutes, with 15 fours. His only chance was at 69. This is his second century for Kent, in whose team he has never yet had a regular place. At 465 Seymour left for 214, the third highest score ever made for the county. He himself made 218* three years ago, and last year Woolley scored 224* at Oxford. Seymour batted 4^ hours in great style, gave only the one chance mentioned, and hit 35 fours. The innings was closed at 475, and Essex lost Fane at 8 and Gillingham, through a smart piece of work the credit of which Knott and Huish divided, without another run scored. Ru§sell and Perrin added 63, and Mclver and Perrin 82 ; but Mclver left at 166, and with Perrin’s departure at 198 for a chanceless 90 (10 fours), made in 165 minutes, the end was near at hand. Kent won by an innings and 117 runs. E s s e x . First Innings. Second Innings. Russell (A. C.), c Seymour, b Blythe 6 b Blythe .. . . 42 C. D.

He and the Hastings man put on 81 in 35. Relf only took 105 minutes to make his 121 ; his one chance was at 112 ; and a six and 20 fours were included. The display was all the more remarkable as Relf had only totalled 91 in his last twelve innings, and seemed dead out of form—or luck. Chaplin declared in time to give Gloucestershire a spell of batting at the fag-end of the day, and they lost 3 valuable wickets for 25. They collapsed before Holloway and Vincett on Wednesday, and quite early in the day Sussex won by 364 runs. S u s s e x . First Innings. Second Innings. H. L.

Sussex lacked Robert Relf, of course ; he is scarcely likely to play again this season Stannard, a colt from the Nursery, superseded Charlward. The visitors were without Jessop, Nason, and Barnett, and left out Board. They played T. Miller and a new amateur in W. St. Clair Grant, another Cliftonian. Sussex made their runs in good time, and considering that the ball got up awkwardly at times made as many as could be expected. Chaplin’s was by far the best innings. He was missed behind the bowler at 27, but otherwise made no mistake, and was always going for the bowiing. In two hours, he hit 10 fours. Wilson’s innings was scarcely one of his best. He made a number of good strokes in his 95 minutes’ stay, but gave a couple of chances.Vine and Wilson put up 60 for the first wicket : but there was no stand of note after­ wards. Gloucestershire had made 126 for 5 at the close. Dipper stayed till 99 for his 42, and Langdon and Seweil made a fewgood strokes The last 5 wickets fell for an addition of 55 on Tuesday, only the Wimbledon man, Green, doing much. Cox had a good analysis. Sussex lost Wilson at 3 and Vine at 22 ; but then the batsmen got on top of the bowling. Bowiey and Jupp added 79 in an hour, the former’s capital 58 being maie in 65 minutes and including 11 fours. Chaplin hit hard, making 38 of the 62 added with Jupp, mainly by sirong off-driving. Albert Relf came in to play perhaps the liveliest innings he has ever played. He reached 50 in 50 minutes, and he and lupp added 94 for the fifth wicket in 65. Jupp batted 100 minutes for his sterling 76 (8 fours). With Vincett as partner Relf punched G l o u c e s t e r s h i r e B o w l e r s ’ A n a l y s i s .
