J u l y 25, 19 14 . THE WORLD OF CRICKET. 375 did, but to Knott. The Oxford skipper lost his partner early on Satur­ day, and Woolley soon followed ; but then Day stayed with Knott, and as long as they were together there was always good hope. Every ball was watched keenly, every stroke cheered. Forty-four were added, taking the total to 85, when Day got his leg in front of a ball from Iremonger. From that time Kent were ahvays losing, though until Knott got out, at 106, after batting 2 hours in great uphill style, some hope still remained. Huish and Blythe did their best ; but the last wicket fell at 130, and Notts had won a closely contested game by 32 runs. They owed a very great deal to Iremonger, who bowled splendidly, and took 13 for 100 in the match. N o t t in g h a m s h ir e . First Innings. Gunn (G.), c Hubble, b Woolley .. o Lee (G.

W’heeler 65) beat Leinster Schools (95 and 117) in an innings a fortnight or so ago. MIDDLESEX v. ESSEX. At Lord’s, July 16, 17, and 18. Carpenter, Freeman, and Reeves all had to stand down, the visitors having practically their full amateur contingent available. Middlesex were at full strength, or near it, the most notable absentee being Saville. Fane and Russell gave their side a fine start, though they never scored very fast or seemed on top of the bowling. They put up 104 before the first wicket fell, after about an hour and a half’s play. The old Carthusian’s innings was an admirable one, and quite chanceless. Tarrant and Murrell effected Russell’s dismissal, and except for a brief spell of hitting by Bristowe the rest did very little, the effect of sun upon the w*et pitch aiding Tarrant and the younger Hearne. The first Middlesex wicket sent up 36 ; Hearne and Kidd added 48 for the fourth ; and at call of time the total was 137 for 5. On Friday Middlesex soon established a good lead. Hen­ dren, batting better than he has done in almost any previous match this season, helped Heame to add 54 for the sixth wicket. Heame batted 135 minutes for his capital 88, gave no chance, and hit a five and 8 fours. Hendren and Haig put on 52, and Haig and Murrell 71. Both the old Etonian and the ex-Kent pro. played well and soundly, though never forgetting to hit. Bristowe took four of the five wickets that fell in the Middlesex innings on Friday. When Essex batted again Fane and Mclver put up 49 for the first wicket ; but three were down for 70 when Perrin joined Douglas, who had actually hit the first ball he received for 4. They added 104 in about as many minutes, putting Essex ahead. Douglas batted two hours for his 52. Perrin ran himself out in an effort to break Turner’s duck after n o minutes at wickets for his 55. At call of time Essex led by only 45 runs with 5 wickets to fall. Turner and Bristowe added a fewmore on Saturday ; but after they were parted no one else did anything. Set 96 to win, Middlesex lost Tarrant quickly ; but then Robertson and Heame hit off the runs, and the home side won by 9 wickets. With 125 for once out and 10 for 169 jn the match the England player did splendid work for hi* side. S e c o n d I n n in g s :— Tarrant, lbw, b Douglas, 3 ; W. P. Robertson, not out, 52 ; Heame (J.

HAMPSHIRE v. WORCESTERSHIRE. At Southampton, July 16 and 17. It was a pity that the first match of the Southampton Week should have been associated with broken weather, a dubious pitch, and a finish in two days. Another argument for the Saturday start ! The home side had A. C. Johnston for the first time this season ; and with Greig and Harrison also available Stone and Remnant had to stand down. Worcestershire played Conway in preference to Lane. Chester alone did anything of note in the visitors’ first, which closed for 155. Hants did no better on the Thursday. Five wickets were down for 50, and it was only a hard-hit 55 (in 35 minutes, with 10 fours) by Sprot that redeemed the innings from failure. A first innings’ lead for the Midlanders seemed likely when at call of time the total was 136 for 9—Jaques 5*, and only Livesey to come. But on the Friday astonishing things happened. Livesey had only once before this season reached double figures, and Jaques had not gone beyond 30. Yet these two, at the start of the day’s play, not against tired bowlers and fieldsmen, actually added 107 in 90 minutes. Each gave a chance ; but they had already made a substantial addition to the score before this happened, and they deserve no end of credit for their excellent stand. Bowley, badly missed once, but otherwise playing in his best form, hit up 70 (8 fours) in 85 minutes in Worcestershire's second ; but Burrows was the only other batsman who could do anything with Jaques and Kennedy Hampshire wanted 92 for victory. Only 21 were made in half-an-hour but when Mead came in he hit so finely, making his 50 (9 fours) in 40 minutes, that a short extension of time enabled the game to be finished, Hampshire winning by 8 wickets.
