432 THE WORLD OF CRICKET. A u g u s t 15, 1914. E SSEX v. LANCASH IRE. At Leyton, August 6, 7, and 8. Garnett was the only amateur left to Lancashire ; Essex lacked Perrin and Gillingham. In a dull and short first day’s play Lancashire scored only 179, the best stand being one of 65 by Ernest and William Tyldesley, and Essex replied with 48 for 3. On Friday the home side had 6 down for 107 when Freeman joined Douglas. These two stayed together for 4 h. 25 m., and added 261. Douglas batted 280 minutes for his fine chanceless 146, and hit 15 fours. Freeman was in about 270 minutes, and gave no chance, till 91, hitting 9 fours. At call of time Essex were 386 for 8. Rain greatly delayed the resumption on Saturday. The innings was declared; but Lancashire scored freely on the wet, easy wicket, Garnett, Sharp, and John Tyldesley (who completed his iooo runs for the season) making good scores.

Hobbs’s ninth century of the season, made in 3 hre., marred only by one chance, and containing a 5 and 11 fours, and William Abel’s finely hit 71* in 95 minutes were the chief features of a first day’s plav during which Surrey ran up 365. Hobbs reached 2000 early in his innings. Cuffe bowled well, and seems to have regained some of his apparently lost form. On Friday Worcester­ shire played up gamely. They lost 3 for 36 ; but then Maurice Foster, whose brilliant 97 (17 fours) were made in 70 minutes, and Cliff, who batted 150 minutes for his solid 50, added 135 together. A useful bit of bowling by Hobbs helped to give Surrey the substantial first innings’ lead of 103 ; but after Surrey had scored 116 for 4 Pearson (who bowled well throughout) did the hat trick, dismissing Sandham, Fender, and Abel, and the innings closed for 147, Ducat carrying his bat for 34, made in 90 minutes. Worcestershire wanted 251 for victory on Saturday ; but rain gave them no chance of attempting to make the runs, and Surrey took first innings’ points. S u r r e y . First Innings.

Bristowe, b Heap SUSSEX v. M IDDLESEX. At Hove, August 6, 7, and 8. E. C. Baker replaced Woodroffe in the home side, and Middlesex of course lacked Warner, Kidd cap­ taining. A part of the ground has been requisitioned for Territorial purposes ; but the playing area is not affected. Rain shortened play, and Sussex profited by missed chances. Bowley made 52 of 73 added with Vine for the second wicket in 55 minutes. Vine and Jupp put on 65 for the third wicket. Both Bowley and Vine were let off. The fifth wicket fell at 218, and then Relf and H. S. Malik added 32 un­ parted, the former reaching his iooo with his last scoring stroke of the day. On Friday these two added 121 in an hour. Relf has seldom, if ever, hit harder ; he drove off and on in fine style, and registered 19 fours. He gave two chances comparativelv early in his innings, but played great cricket later. Malik, who helped him to add 153 in all, batted really well. The innings closed for 411. Nearly all the Middlesex batsmen scored. Tarrant made 23 of the first 39 ; Robert­ son and Hearne added 61 ; Mann made his 52 in an hour, hitting 2 sixes in one over from Vine : and Hendren and Haig put on 69. Chaplin was called away b y the War Office, and it was agreed that Roberts should take his place. At drawing of stumps the total w’as 293 for 8. The innings closed for 311 after a long wait, due to rain, on Saturday. When Sussex batted again 51 were made in half-an- hour, and the 100 went up in 65 minutes, Vincett hitting hard. But there was never any chance of a finish, and the game was drawn with the total 160 for 7, Sussex taking first innings’ points. S u s s e x . First Innings. Second Innings. H. L.
