A. P. Freeman, the Kent googly bowler, captured his 200th wicket of the season in the match against
Surrey at the Oval.
This is the first time "Tich" has taken 200 wickets in a season, and there are only about thirty cases on record.
Parker (Gloucester) was the last to do so in 1926. Tate has thrice achieved the feat.
T. Richardson, the old Surrey bowler, in 1895 took 290 wickets, and in the four
