S e p te m b e r , 1914. THE WORLD OF CRICKET. 4 5 i CAMBRIDGESHIRE v. NORFOLK. At Fenner’s, Cambridge, August 19 and 20. The visiting side lacked Michael Falcon, Popham, Thurgar, and others ; but Cambs, though they had the help of A. L. Gorringe, home from Canada, were by no means at full strength. Their victory—the first over Norfolk for three years—by 38runs was more than welcome. Gorringe, with 112 and 10 for 179 as his share of the work, did much towards it : Loveday, A. J. Rich, and Coulson, who bowled steadily and well, also played their parts. Norfolk needed 294 in 2! hours, and went for the runs, Stevens and Stephenson battings so finely that at one period a win seemed quite on the cards. Stevens hit up 111 in 58 minutes, one six and 20 fours included. C a m b r i d g e s h i r e . First Innings. Second Innings. E. B.

This should have been the second match of the Dover Week, but, like the first, had to be removed to Canterbury. Kent had all the best of the luck, a thunderstorm on the second day so affecting the wicket that on Saturday Blythe was all but unplayable. But before the thunderstorm came they had put themselves in a secure position, having scored so fast that 202 (for 3 wickets) appeared on the board at lunch on the Thursday. Hardinge and Humphreys put up 51 for the first, and Humphreys and Seymour added 59 for the second. Burrows, in catching Seymour, split his right hand between the first two fingers, and could bowl no more. This fact severely handicapped Worcestershire, and during the partnership of Woolley and S. H. Day their bowling, thus depleted, was dealt with very disrespectfully. The two added exactly 200 in half as many minutes, the length of Day’s stay for a chanceless 109, including as many as 18 fours. Woolley carried his bat for 160 after batting 4 hours 20 minutes. He gave no real chance, and hit 25 fours. The best feature of a brief day’s play on Friday was a partnership of h i for the fourth wicket in an hour by Chester and Pearson. The score was 164 for 5at lunch. No further play took place. On Saturday the innings closed for 245, Maurice Foster contributing a punishing 37 ; and in the follow-on all were out for 62, Kent thus winning by an innings and 154 runs. Blythe had 11 for 83 in the match—7 for 20 in the second innings. This is the ninth time during the season he has taken more than half the wickets in an innings. K e n t .

Removed from Ports­ mouth owing to the war. The visitors lacked Parsons, who has been suffering from a strain. They put up a very fair score on the first day, Foster hitting brilliantly for 92, made in 95 minutes, with a six and 11 fours, and Charlesworth scoring 56 in 70 minutes. Baker helped Foster in a stand of 72 for the fifth wicket. Hants, 35 for o at call of time, carried their total to 363 on Friday, everyone but Kennedy reaching double figures. Bowell and Remnant put up 51 for the first wicket ; Mead and Newman added 57 for the fourth, and the England man and McLeod, the Felstedian, 83 for the fifth. Mead batted 160 minutes and hit 11 fours. Brown slashed up 81 in n o minutes, 11 fours included. On Saturday Charlesworth and Kinneir, not out together overnight, took their partnership for Warwickshire’s second wicket to 117. Charlesworth made his 96 in 130 minutes, hitting one 6 and 13 fours, but had some luck, as he was missed at 8, and at 25 was actually caught, though given not out owing to Remnant’s, overstepping the boundary in making the catch. After they were parted only Baker did much, and Jaques, bowling very finely, took his last 6 wickets for 29 runs. Livsey caught 4 and stumped 5batsmen in the two innings. Hants needed 189 forvictory in 140 minutes, and lost 2 wickets for 15. Almost up to the last victory was indoubt ; but the stand of Mead and Arnold, who added 103 together, had put their side practically safe from defeat, at worst, and in the event they won by 4 wickets. During the match Newman (for the first time), Kinneir, and Bowell all reached iooo, and Foster and Jaques each took his hundredth wicket. W a r w i c k s h i r e . First Innings. Second Innings.
