400 THE WORLD OF CRICKET. A ugust i , 1914. NOTTINGHAM SH IRE v. KENT. A t Trent Bridge, Nottingham, July 27, 28, and 29. Wass came into the home team, replacing Richmond, and it was largely due to his bowling that Kent were dismissed for such a moderate score. The light was bad during most of the day, but otherwise the conditions were not against run-getting. Humphreys was out with a single on the board, and it was only a life given to Seymour that enabled him to aid Hardinge in a very useful stand of 50. Woolley was badly run out, and with Jennings’s dismissal half the side had gone for 99. Hubble, who had early completed his iooo runs for the season, saw three more men dismissed very quickly after lunch, all by Wass, who put a good deal of work on. Blythe and Fielder gave the Watering- bury man invaluable help, and the last two wickets added as many as 77. Hubble made his 73*, a capital innings, in 130 minutes. Before time Notts had put up 130 for 2, Lee and John Gunn having added 63 in the last hour. On Tuesday 15 more had been put on when Lee left. Iremonger played much more freely than usual ; but John Gunn was very slow, and only added 11 in an hour. Then he woke up, and scored fast, putting on 63 in the next hour. He and Iremonger .added 76, and 41 were added for the last wicket, Wass slashing vigorously. Gunn carried his bat for 142 ; but he has played better innings. All three of his chances were in the long field, however— .a sign that he was going for the bowling when he gave them. The day’s play was abbreviated by rain, and at the close Kent had lost Hardinge and Seymour with only 56 on the board. They played up gamely on Wednesday. Wass was absent, and this handicapped the out side. Humphreys and Woolley added 109 in 90 minutes; but after they had been separated only Jennings and Troughton did much, and the innings closed for 260, leaving Notts to get 101 for victory Woolley’s brilliant 92 (one six, 10 fours) was the outcome of a couple of hours at wickets. No one except the first pair, George Gunn and Carr, •could do anything at all with Blythe and Woolley, and Kent, after being apparently led throughout the greater part of the match, won .a fine victory by 47 runs.

Hornby resumed the captaincy of the home side, and Parkin and Spencer (the latter playing for the first time) came in. John Tyldesley taking a rest, and White­ head standing down. The visitors had the help of Cranfield. The great feature of the first day’s play was a fine century by Sharp, who reached his iooo in the course of the innings, batted 170 minutes, gave no chance, and hit n fours. He began at a great pace, but slowed down later. Hornby and Makepeace put up 52 for the first wicket ; Sharp and Makepeace added 71 for the third, and Sharp and Ernest Tyldesley 56 for the fourth. The rest fared badly, the last 6 wickets only adding 55. Gloucestershire had a disastrous time. Before the first wicket fell 34 had been scored, but 6 were out for 66 by call of time, Dean showing something of his old form. The innings was finished off for an addition of 44 on Tuesday. Smith batted 75 minutes for his very useful 25. When Lancashire had scored 4 in their second innings rain came on, and on the resumption the wicket appeared to give the bowlers help. Four wickets were down for 29 ; but then Ernest and William Tyldesley, by a capital stand of 73, and William Tyldesley and Heap, who added 52 together, put their side well ahead again. Ernest Tyldesley followed Sharp in reaching his iooo for the season. Huddleston hit hard, sending .one ball from Cranfield clean out of the ground, and Hornby was enabled to declare with 9 wickets down, giving the visitors an hour’s batting before time. Jessop hit out mightily, and actually ran up 31 (one six, 4 fours) in 10 minutes ; but his departure was followed by the failure of Langdon and Dipper, and at call of time Gloucestershire, with three of their best four men gone, Ellis disabled (his early retirement from the game had naturally handicapped them), and 266 still needed for victory, were apparently in hopeless case. So it proved on Wednesday, when the innings closed for 105, and Lancashire won by 237 runs. L a n c a s h i r e . First Innings. A. H.

In the North Yorkshire and South Durham League Redcar beat North Ormesby by 19 runs— a good match ; Darlington defeated Stockton anyhow ; Saltburn pretty easily accounted for Thomaby. Bishop Auckland went down heavily to Norton ; and Guisborough and West Hartlepool drew. E. B o w d e n (6 for 37, Littleborough v. Milnrow) and Brook (6 for 52, Dukinfield v. Werneth) bowled well in the only Central Lancashire F o r Army Service Corps v. ist Royal North Lancashire Regiment on July 25, C. L. St. J. Tudor and D. Turnbull, going in first together, each scored a century, and the innings was declared at 259 for 2. No century was made ; but there weve scores of 72 by R. Healey (Darlington), 72* by H. Heavisides (Norton), 70* by C. Dearing (West Hartlepool), 55 by S. Forster (North Ormesby), and 52 by H. Atkinson (Thomaby). P e s t e l l took 7 for 36 for Darlington- performance of the day in the League. -quite the best bowling
