FIRST INNINGS SCORE BY NOTIS.
According to the results of last week-end oricket matches which have just beon cabled through, it would appear that the bowlers are having, things pretty much their own way at present, Salthough three individual centuries ware recorded in seven matches.".
The most outstanding, performance, perhaps, was that of Tich Free man, who, playing for. Kent against Leivestor, took 13 wickets in two innings for 83. rums! His figures in the first innings were 7 for 00 while in the second effort he had 6. for 23.
The match between Vorkabiro and M.C.C. at Beadquarters "turned out a great disappointment an. it, rained so hard that play was not possible after the first day. In some of the other matches too, it would seem that the weather interfered considerably, while it in apparent that all the wickets were in favour of the bowlers.
