Hutton scores fastest century of the season
London, June 6.
Lon Hutton, Reg Simpson and Bill Edrich, Eng- land's top-ranking batsmen for the first Test against the West Indios starting on Thurs- day, featured in today's County cricket honours,
Simpson and Edrich, both amateurs, figured in a thrilling race to become the first player of the season to complete a thousand runs. Simpson, playing for Nottinghamshire against Gloucestershire, beat the Middlesex all-round- er by only 10 minutes. Meanwhile, Hutton, who is expected to have Simpson as his opening partner in the Test, was helping Yorkshire in a gallant but vain battle against the clock at Bradford. Derbyshire had set Yorkshire 200 runs to get in 100 minutes for victory.
Hutton, in his most confident mood, thrashed the bowing t reach a century out of 172 run: In 73 minutes, the fastest cen. tury of the season. He hit twe
