G l o u c e s t e r L e e d s L o r d ' s Peel and Ulyett are veterans , of course , but otherwise the players were mostly young, hence the dash and esprit de corps . All round the cricket was decidedly above the average . In batting , the eleven were generally safe for a fairly good score , and the bowling was as a rule supported by excellent fielding . Apartic- ularly level side , Yorkshire's success was thoroughly well earned . It was, more- over , very popular . R e s u l t so f M a t c h e s . Matches Played, 16. W o n, 12. Drawn, 1. Lost, 3.

The scoring was so low on the first day as the result of rain , that more than one-half of the match wascompleted before the second morning. Peel's bowling at the outset received such assistance that five Cambridge wickets were down for 26. Fortunately C. G. Pope and H. R. Bromley-Davonport, the last twobatsmen, wereequal to the occasion , and their stand , which produced 47 runs, was the best onthe side . Even then the University did better than the county, for Brownand Mounsey, two of the later batsmen, alone got double figures in innings of 83. The ground had improved considerably in pace by the time York- shire entered onthefourth innings with179 runs to win. Thanksto Mr. Sellers a n d Tunnicliffe , 100 was up with only twobatsmen out, but Mr. Wells' slow bowling so puzzled the rest , that Cambridge after all gained a creditable victory by 27 runs.
