Cricket 1914

O c t o b e r , 1914. THE WORLD OF CRICKET. 463 SURREY v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. At the Oval, August 31, September 1. The Western countv plaved under heavy handicap. They were without both Dipper and Dennett, and could not find anyone to complete the eleven, so that only ten men batted in each innings. But they stuck gamely to their work on the Monday ; the fielding was very good, and the bowling, in spite of Dennett’s absence, far from contemptible, Toogood showing up very well indeed. He might have been given a chance earlier in the season. Hobbs made 141 in under 3 hours, and Donald Knight 102 in 2J hours. Hobbs gave one chance, but not until 113, Knight none at all; Hobbs hit 13 fours, Knight 11. Hayes helped the crack to add 102 for the second wicket, and the two centurv-makers added 138 for the third. Abel, driving finely, hit up 52 in an hour. The redeeming feature of the losers’ batting was Sewell’s splendid century in the follow-on. He made his 165 in a couple of hours out of 230, with strokes all round the wicket, and, though always forcing the pace (he hit 27 fours), made very few mistakes of any kind. Langdon helped him to add 158 for the second wicket. Surrey won by an innings and 36 runs. S u r r e y . Hobbs, c Smith, b Toogood 141 Abel (W. J.), c Ellis, b Too- Hayward, c Board, b Ellis..

At Bournemouth, August 31, September 1 and 2. Kent played altogether below their true form in this match. Hubble and Day, who added 103 together in the first innings after 4 had fallen for 42 in the first innings, and put on 50 for the fifth in the second, were the only batsmen who did themselves justice ; and in the absence of Blythe and Fielder the Hampshire batsmen appeared to find the Kent bowling quite easy. Remnant and Bowell sent up 68 before a wicket fell ; Remnant and Arnold added 51 for the second, Newman and Mead 86 for the fourth, and Brown and Kennedy 95 (in 55 minutes) for the ninth. Mead batted 185 minutes for his masterly 128 (18 fours), with only one chance, just before he was out. Brown’s brilliant 93, his best of the season, included 12 fours. Hampshire won by an innings and 83 runs. K e n t . First Innings. Second Innings.

The war-cloud spoiled all chance of making the Weston Week a success, of course ; and in this match the Somerset side proved nothing like good enough to extend an Essex team short of full strength. The game had few features of note. Davies hit out very finely for Essex, making 3 sixes, a five, and 10 fours, but was missed at 9 and at 68. White bowled well for the losers, and Buckenham showed some of his best form with the ball. Essex won by io swickets. S o m e r s e t . First Innings. Second Innings. B. I..

Scoring was never high (the biggest average, that of the captain, E. H. Phillips, was only 12-87) ; but opposing sides were dismissed even more cheaply, and W. Carter (49 wickets at 6-04 each) and S. J. Cook (63 at 6-85) did fine work with the ball. Besides Phillips, the Rev. P. M. Bowman, F. J. Rayner, S. J. Cook, H. Shone, and A . E. Smith totalled over 100 each, their averages ranging from 11-09 down to 8-41. Phillip’s 206 wras the highest aggregate. A c c r i n g t o n were premiers of the Lancashire League for the first time. They scored 40 points- of a possible 52, Todmorden (36), Colne (33), Church (30), and Rawtenstall (30) following then in the table. Llewellyn, with 700 runs at an average of 36-84 per innings, and 96 wickets at 10-14 each, did splendid all-round work for the new champions.
