A u g u s t 8, 1914. THE WORLD OF CRICKET. 413 BUCKINGHAMSH IRE v. DORSETSHIRE. At Aylesbury, July 29 and 30. For their first county match of the season Dorset had nothing like full strength, and were overplayed from start to finish. Th^ chief features of the game were a capital century by the Oxford blue, E. A. Shaw, and some good bowling by D. A. D. and Sewell, of the Sandhurst XI.

Bell 6 for 67 for the losers. -----------4------------ SU R R E Y II v. STAFFORDSH IRE. At the Oval, July 30 and 31. The visitors had the same side that had gone under to Kent II. but shaped in very different fashion. The chief contributors to their total of 371 were both left-handers, the old Cliftonian, Bernard Meakin, and Leonard Taylor, whom the county will lose next year, when he becomes qualified for Warwick­ shire. Taylor hit a six, a five, and 13 fours, Meakin, who was in nearly 2| hours as against under 2 hours in Taylor’s case, made 10 fours. They added 159 for the fifth wicket. Myers bowled capitally, and his figures were remarkably good in an innings of nearly 400. Before call of time Surrey had lost 5 for 84, and looked safe for a big beating. ' The last 5 wickets fell for 4 runs on Friday, Sedgwick taking 4 of them. In the follow-on Surrey fared better, seven men making double figures, both Sandham and Abel batting really w ell; but Stafford­ shire won by an innings and 59. . S t a f f o r d s h i r e . H. E.

The wicket was said to be quite good ; but it is difficult to reconcile this statement with the practically complete failure of the batting on both sides. On the first day Robson and Cadman bowled with great success ; 25 wickets fell for 256 runs ; and the only man who topped 30 was Curgenven, who hit hare1 for 45 in the visitors' second. The last 5 Derbyshire wickets only added 34 to the overnight total of 93 on Friday, and Somerset had 91 to get. Robson did quite the biggest bowling feat of his career in taking 14 wickets for 96, and Rippon, by making three capital catches in the slips, ably assisted him in the second innings. Somerset had lost Braund, Rippon, and Hyman with only 19 on the board. With 10 added rain stopped play. On Saturday Somerset won easily, thanks to a fine 50* by P. R. Johnson, who in his first big match of the season was top scorer in each innings for his side. First Innings. D e r b y s h i r e . Second Innings. J.

T h e Oval has been commandeered by the War Office, and the Surrey v. Kent match— if it takes place at all, which may well be doubted— will be played at Lord’s. P. F. Wta r n e r left Southampton to offer his services to the War Office on Wednesday. N. J. A. Foster left the match at Edgbaston to join the Territorial forces, and A. W. Carr, of Notts, has also been called up. Many other cricketers will doubtless be requisitioned before long.
