GREAT SCORE BY A. P. F. CHAPMAN.
Middlesex did several aspirants for the championship a good turn when they soundly defeated the formidable Yorkshiremen at Lords. This is the third beating the Tykes have had this year and 1 puts them out of the running-1or the present at least. Kent in a match of colossal scoring unit the adva tage of a drawn game with Lan- enshiro. Nolts were just deprived ot a win over Leicestershire, now a auch improved side.
None of the other watches häve mach bearing on ne championship 18500 but they
saw some remark:
ably interesting pay and very ne individual teats: a. P. F. Chap man's great score of 200 gmust the strong Lancashire attack stili further establishes his position as England's leading amateur batsman, a true successor in the line of C. B. Fry, A. C. Macluroni and F. S. Jackson. His power of leadership and whole air of light hearted sportsmanship are perhaps reminis cent of the latter-England's most attractive ericket captain. Two young Oxford blues had a contury each at the Oval, and with Evans and Legge also scoring centuries and N. Haig and J. C. White taking a lot of wickets cheaply, the fear expressed a few years ago that the amateur was not keeping up his end with the professional is no longer justified. Gentlemen r. Players should be a great gume this year.
