380 THE WORLD OF CRICKET. J u l y 25, 19 14 . CAMBRIDGESHIRE v. SUFFOLK. T On Parker’s Piece, Cambridge, July 20 and 21. The old venue, where in bygone years the famous Cambridge Town Club, later developing into a county eleven, used to play its matches, was utilised for this game. Tebbutt, the old Leysian, played a remarkable innings for his side on Monday. He did not start too well, but when once set he hit splendidly, what time others found it difficult even to stay in. Twenty-one fours were included in his dashing 142. Mortimer and Trevor alone did much for Suffolk, although the tail-end men made a few useful runs. When the home side batted again Hunt hit well, and Tebbutt and several others contributed items of value. The day’s play, during which 540 runs were made, left Suffolk to get 227 for victory. This proved too big a task, only Godley doing anything, and Cambs won by n o runs. Penfold again bowled well and steadily for Suffolk, and Hunt was very successful with the ball for the winners.

The counties had not played one another for 19 years. When they last met three Essex batsmen made centuries and a fourth 99, and the total was 692. Reeves and Freeman came into the home side in place of Fane and Turner ; Somerset had B. L. Bisgood, who rarely appears now, and tried A. G. Marshall again. They made quite a decent total ; but that they did so was entirely due to the old Bathonian, Hylton-Stewart, who hit up n o in 105 minutes, making 20 fours. The innings was not perfect, for Hylton-Stewart was always taking risks, and was not afraid to lift the leather ; but it was a most resolute and attractive display. Poyntz helped him to add 76 for the fifth wicket, and White 77 for the eighth. At call of time Essex had scored 130 for 3. Perrin and Douglas took 70- minutes to add 54 unparted before the close, and the former reached his 1000 for the season. Perrin soon left on Tuesday, the wicket having added 61. Douglas went on his way, undisturbed by the sometimes too evident impatience of the crowd, hurrying himself no whit, but surely and gradually putting his side on top. Freeman, playing for his place, was just as dogged, and took 90 minutes to make 29, 63 being- added in that time. Douglas had been in nearly hours when he reached his hundred, and altogether batted 4J hours. His only chance was a difficult one of c & b to Robson just after he had passed 50. He hit 12 fours. Somerset’s second innings was only redeemed from complete failure by Poyntz, who hit up 64 in 80 minutes, 10 fours included. The best stand was one of 48 for the fifth wicket after 4 had fallen for 43, Hylton-Stewart being his captain’s coadjutor. The tireless Douglas took the first four wickets, and then went off,, the other bowlers proving quite equal to the task set them. At close of play Essex needed only 82 to win, with an innings to play. On the third morning Mclver and Russell soon put the issue beyond doubt, and Essex won by 9 wickets. First Innings.

F.’s younger brother, who may himself be a Cambridge blue next year. B e n w e l l beat Benwell Hill by 9 runs, after a ding-dong struggle. The County Club defeated St. George’s heavily. Tynemouth beat Ryton, in spit of T. Graham’s 7 for 47 for Ryton. South Northumber­ land, with O. Richardson making 54 and R. W. Clark 50, easily beat Tynedale. Wallsend, for whom Elliott’s century (4 sixes, 12 fours in 109) was registered, only just managed to defeat North Durham, for wThom six batsmen reached 20 but no one 30. Backworth Percy beat Old Novocastrians by the narrow margin of 6 runs, Jackson scoring 35 and taking 4 wickets. Freeman (J. R.), b White .. Reeves, lbw, b Robson G. B. Davies, lbw, b Robson G. M.
