Exciting Finish At Lord's
M.C.C. beat Yorkshire at Lord's by 25 ruris at the end of as fine a game of cricket as could be ask ed for. All through a lovely sum mer day the game went first one way and then the other.

From Rugby he went to Oxford Univer- "alty, and gained his blue as a stylish batsman, especially strong on the leg side. After leaving the University he played many notable innings for Middlesex, scoring 63 centuries in first-class cricket. In 1920, under his captaincy, Middlesex were champion county.
