Blythe accomplished this excep- Lonnt feat in 1907 against Northants and Verily against Essex six seasons ago.
Goddard took nine for 38 in the Arst innings and eight for 68 in the second and has brought his tally of wickets this season to 114.
Goddard required three more wie- kels to complete his century when Kent opened their first innings, and these he quickly obtained by sending back Fugg Chalk and Valentine for a mere fiandful of runs. Lambert took the second wleket, that of Ames, but after this Goddard had a con- linuous run of successes to the end. It was a great performance, for Goddard cannot be said to have owed anything to the wicket, but there is Iltile doubt several of the Kent bate- men treated him with far too much foolish policy after the respect. excellent Innings played by "Gerry"
