RAIN SPOILS MID-WEEK PROGRAMME: ONLY ONE MATCH FINISHED.
JACK HOBBS SCORES ANOTHER HUNDRED: FENDER
IN FORM WITH THE BALL.
[THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY.]
London, August £1. Rain again interferred seriously with the mid-week cricket pro- gramme at Home, with the result that only one game was brought to n definite conclusion:
There was no play at all in the Middlesex-Derby and Sussex- Lancashire engagements, while something of a sensation was pro- vided at Southend when the formidable Nottingham batting team fell surprisingly before, the mediocre Essex attack._/_____
{
The only century scored during the mid-week cricket was credit." ed to that giant, Jack Hobbs, who collected 101 out of a total of, 193 at Taunton. This match saw Percy Fender, the Surrey leader, in fine form with the ball, his gure being 7 for $8.
The New Zealanders defeated Norfolk by an innings and Cr runs when these teams met at Norwick in a two-day match, Merritt doing some excellent work with the ball.
