CRICKET
Lancashire Overwhelm Dark Blues
London, May 1. Cricket met with mixed fortunes today. Not a ball could be bowled on the last day of the MCC versus Yorkshire match. Heavy raln had saturated the Lords pitch and the absence of wind and sun ruled out any possibility of its drying in time for play to start.
The two daya' friendly malch between Notting- hamshire and Leicestershire was abandoned without a ball being bowled either yesterday or today.
Lancashire ensily Won University against Oxford nt Oxford, where an hour's play after the game had been held up until early afternoon sufficed to give the county an easy win.
The only redeeming feature of Oxford's batting today was the deflance shown by Lewis, the Rugby Blue, who scored 33 run not out of the total of 100
runs.
