HOME CRICKET.
REACHES INTERESTING
STAGE.
LATEST RESULTS.
Hobbs.hu not made that much
expected century yet. Against Gloucester's bowling, his total for both innings did not amount to a 100 as will be seen in the results enbled by Reuter last night:
came
Of the matches which through, the most interesting is the victory of Kent at Trent Bridge. Kent have done very badly this season and the manner in which they got the runs in the fourth innings must please their supporters. It will be noted that 3. L. Bryan, the left-handed bats- man who was with the M.C.C. tour in Australia last year has again made a big score when it Was most needed.
There is little change in the table except that Somerset go above Derby.
To-day some of the most im- portant fixtures in the county crickel programme begin, several of them with a distinct bearing on The county championship. Yorkshire have B commanding lead. If the others, like Surrey, are to remain in the race, Lanca- shire must defeat the champions outright. The full list of fixtures is given below.
world
If Hobbs is to beat a record (126 centuries made by Dr. W. G. Grace in first-class cricket) and 18 centuries in a season, he will have to compile two more three-figure senres. There are still a good many matches in which he can accom- plish the double feat.
