SOMERSET. At Bramall Lane, Sheffield, July 27 and 28. Yorkshire left out Oldroyd and Holmes to include D. C. F. Burton, the old Cantab, and R. C. Burton, who was tried for Oxford both this year and last. Somerset lacked White, and gave a trial to W. F. Q. Shuldham (Marl­ borough). Rhodes and Wilson put up 75 before the first wicket fell, the England man completing his 1000 for the season ; but 4 were down for 97 when Hirst joined Denton. The two veterans batted bril­ liantly, adding 102 in 55 minutes, while neither gave a chance. Hirst’s dashing 107 (16 fours) were made in 100 minutes. Booth and Claude Burton afterwards played excellent cricket, and the total reached 372. Dudley Rippon, though punished at times, bowled very well. Before call of time Somerset had lost 2 for 18. On Tuesday they were all out for 90, and, following on, again collapsed, and were beaten by an innings and 155, Booth, Drake, and R. C. Burton all sharing in the slaughter. Y o r k s h i r e .

The visitors lacked Morgan and Wilson, and played only three pros. They had slightly the best of the first day’s play, thanks largely to a good innings by their skipper, Bernard Meakin. At the close Kent were 11 ahead with a good wicket down in their second innings— that of Dutnall, who made a century in the side’s last match. Freeman was allowed 11 balls to one over, bowling Meakin with the sixth, and then being suffered to go on. On Tuesday Collins and Capt. Le Fleming made a fine stand, the pro. scoring his 70 in 90 minutes, and the military man batting 135 minutes for his splendid 85, a six and 12 fours included. Barnes failed to get a wicket, and Sedgwick’s excellent bowling could not quite counter­ balance this. Set 183 for victory, Staffordshire collapsed before the googlies of Freeman, who took 5 for 6 , only Bourne making any show at all. Thus Kent II won a fine victory by 97 runs. K en t II.

Falcon— were made in an innings for Easton Ramblers (476 for 8) v. Oxford University Authentics) on July 24 and 25. The Authentics were beaten in an innings, M. Falcon taking 10 wickets. A. K. B u r t e n s h a w , for Hailsham v. Mayfield, took 6 for 16 and did the hat trick on Saturday. J. K. M a t h e w s , the hockey international, who has played cricket for both Wilts and Sussex, and A. M. Harrison, who has represented Dorset and Sussex, each scored a century for Worthing (312 for 5) v. Charlton Park (98) on Saturday. They reached three figures in the same over. Mathews hit three sixes off successive balls. Harrison took 6 for 47 in the visitors’ innings. I M r . W. E. G r e a v e s ’s X I (160) beat Christ’s Hospital (156) on the Horsham Ground. Etheridge won the match by a boundary hit, and was bowled next ball. ESSEX v. LEICESTERSHIRE. At Leyton, July 27, 28, and 29. Both teams suffered changes, Captain Turner and Bristowe replacing Fane and Hills, and Riley, the Cantab, and Bannister, the Bank of England man, coming into the visitors’ side to the displacement of Lord and Mounteney. Essex made a great start. So well did Russell and Mclver bat, the former progressing chiefly by off-drives and leg strokes, and the latter cutting finely, that before lunch 186 appeared on the board as the result of two hours’ work, and the pair were not parted until they had made 212 — a record for the first wicket of Essex, beating the same batsmen’s 210 v. Hants *last year. Mclver gave no chance in his stay of 135 minutes, and hit 8 fours. Russell gave but one chance, and that after he had passed the century, batted 220 minutes, and hit 18 fours. He reached his 1,000 for the season a few minutes before getting out. Carpenter and he added 62 for the second wicket ; but at Russell’s departure 6 were down for 295. Then Bristowe hit out splendidly— no mere haphazard slogging, but punishment blended with judgment ; and after the ninth wicket had fallen at 350 he and Tremlin added 78 in 32 minutes. The old Etonian hit 13 fours. Sidwell and Sharp were the only Leicestershire men who did not figure at the bowling crease. Douglas had two balls before call of time, and took his ninety-eighth wicket of the season with the second. On Tuesday Leicestershire crumpled up completely before Douglas and Tremlin in their first innings. The Essex skipper took his hundredth wicket of the season, a feat he has never accomplished before ; he is the first amateur bowler to get there this year. Coe, the not out, offered a sturdier resistance than anyone else; and when the visitors followed on, Wood took Coe in with him. One cannot recall an instance of the latter’s going in first before. The captain left at 26 ; but Coe and Whitehead then made a great stand. They stayed together 2\ hours, and added 207 runs. Whitehead then left. He had given no chance, and had hit 12 fours. Scoring faster than Coe at the outset, he after­ wards fell into the rear. He has played many a good uphill innings, but seldom a better one than this. Joined by King, Coe still con­ tinued to score freely off the now worn-out bowling, and was 135* at the end of the day, when with 276 for 2 on the board Leicester­ shire, with 8 to go, were only 60 behind the Essex total. Coe did not last much longer on Wednesday. He and King (who preceded him pavilionwards) added 64 for the third wicket. Batting in all a trifle over 4 hours, Coe gave two chances (in the fifties and in the eighties), but played a great fighting innings, and hit 20 fours. Riley
