374 THE WORLD OF CRICKET. J u l y 25, 19 14 . CORNWALL v. MONMOUTHSHIRE. At Camborne, July 15 and 16. Excellent bowling by Whiting and Trevarthen, and some weak batting by Monmouthshire, gave the home side a substantial advantage by the end of an innings each. But in Monmouthshire’s second E. S. Phillips and Silverlock gave the side a good start ; Silverlock and H. C. James put up along partnership for the second wicket, each reaching.the century ; and F. G. Phillips made 48 in quick time. Sent in to get 305, the Cornubians mostly failed. Tresawna, as often before, proved good at need ; but Whiting was the only other man who topped 15, and his effort came when all hope was lost. Monmouthshire won by 131 runs. M o n m o u t h s h ir e . First Innings. Second Innings. E. S.

They might well have gone under had the home side’sfielding been up to its standard of last year. But five chances went begging in an hour, and when, despite all this luck, three of the best wickets were down for 79, Quaife and Kinneir, adopting safety tactics quite justifiable in the circum­ stances, stayed together to the finish, adding 112. Quaife hit 11 fours ; he was missed when he had only scored four, and this mistake had more than anything else to do with losing Northants a victory. Warwick­ shire took first innings’ points. j N o r t h a m p t o n s h ir e . First Innings. Second Innings. W. H. Denton, c Jeeves, b Howell.. 33 b Howell .. .. 56 J. S.

The home side left out Murdin, and tried a new man in B. White. To start with there was steady play by the two Dentons, who occupied 80 minutes in sending up 59 for the first wicket ; then something of a slump, for though Smith stayed 45 minutes 110 one else did much till Wells came in ; and then an excellent thumping display—not mere slogging, either—by the Daventry man, whose 55 included 10 fours and were made in only a trifle over an hour. The result was quite a decent total. Parsons and Kinneir put up 61 unparted before call of time, but had only added four more in the morning before the partnership was broken. Three were out for 81 ; but Quaife (who batted n o minutes for 12) stayed while Foster hit, and 54 were added for the fourth. Five were down for 138 ; but the tail played up gamely, and, aided by a little luck, exactly doubled the score. Hands made 41 in 30 minutes, and Smith and Field added 36 for the last wicket. The Dentons put their side ahead before they were parted, and Haywood played admirably for 48, so that at the finish of Friday’s play the home side were 86 on with 8 to go. Parsons deputised for Smith in this innings, the War­ wickshire wicket-keeper having hurt a hand on Thursday—a fact which explains his going in No. 10, though with characteristic pluck he managed to stay 80 minutes when he did go in. Buswell had been sent in to save a more valuable wicket on Friday evening ; and no one could have anticipated what he did on the Saturday. He and William Denton added in all 74 before the Wellingburian was out for 56, the result of 160minutes at wickets. Thompson joined Buswell, and scored fast, 155 being added in 95 minutes. Then, the wicket-keeper having reached his century, the innings was declared. Buswell had played quite surprisingly good cricket. His only actual chance was at 64, though at 10 he put up one in the country which some fieldsmen would have got to. He was in 150 minutes, and hit 8 fours.

At Tunbridge Wells, July 16, 17, and 18. • Kent had perhaps their strongest side, A. P. Day replacing Fielder ; but it was a little rough on Jennings that he should have to stand down after a century in th» preceding match. A. W\Carr captained Notts, while Wass, who has a damaged finger, was replaced by Richmond. The wicket was one that always gave the bowlers help, and batsmen had to struggle for their runs. George Gunn and Lee were both out with only 5 scored ; and after Hardstaff and John Gunn had added 37 wickets fell so fast that 7were down for 82. Whysall and Oates added 39, and the total reached 137—not really bad on a pitch that gave Blythe and Woolley assistance. Kent did no better ; but for Day they would have done worse. They had 6 down for 50 ; but then Troughton and Day doubled the score during a valuable partnership, Day doing the bigger share of the run-getting. On Friday the Kent skipper left after the stand had added 57 in all. Day hit while Huish defended, and the eighth wicket added 30. In all the old Malvernian was in over 3 hours, and only made 4 fours ; but he played a great knock, for with Iremonger keeping a splendid length and getting work on, and Barratt bowling faster with an occasional nasty breakback, it was never easy to get the ball away. He was missed at 62 by George Gunn, who damaged a finger in trying to take the catch. Notts did better in their second innings, when, however, the Kent bowling was scarcely so good. Carr, going in first, hit out finely for his 32 ; and John Gunn, after taking 50 minutes to get 14, suddenly woke up, and ran to 51 in 30 minutes longer. Hardstaff, Payton, and Iremonger made useful scores, and Kent were set 163 to win. The 40 minutes batting on Friday very severely discounted their chances, for three of their best were dismissed with only a paltry 20 scored. Humphreys got one out of the box from Barratt—an almost unplayable breakback ; Hardinge played on ; and Seymour was cleverly caught by the bowler. Troughton and Knott played out time, the skipper evidently desiring to save Woolley, Day, and Hubble for the next day. It was not chiefly due to any of these, however, that Kent put up as good as fight as they
