In the Surrey first innings, Montgomery and Kersley added 63 runs for the eighth wicket . [An alternative version of this score for the Surrey second innings found in the Devon scorebook, gives Roles conceding 50 runs and Minto 36 runs and total runs conceded 87, which is 2 runs in excess. The Surrey yearbook version adds correctly to 85 and it has been adopted.] [Missing: Initials of Roles.] Sources: Devon Scorebook; Devon Evening Express 15 August; Western Daily Mercury 15,16 August; Western Morning News 15,16 August; Surrey Year Book 1901, p 130; Sporting Life 16 August; The Sportsman 16 August.
