NOTES ON CRICKET, TENNIS AND BOXING.

THREE BIG FIGHTS.

By "Statwari."]

The game of cricket, it seems, is as full of glorious incertainties as ever, despite the efforts of the reformers to change it. The talk about a smaller ball and changing the height and width of the wicket goes on, yet players eon- tinue to get centuries, some double centuries. Conversely, a county such as Yorkshire can be dismissed for less than 100. That being so, there is nothing wrong with the game, and all that re- quires to be done to it is to leave it alone.

Yorkshire's first innings' col- lapse against Middlesex at Lords was, however, remarkable. Here was a team with Kilner, Holmes, Sutcliffe, Macauley, and perhaps Waddington and Rhodes, all run- getters. in it, with no doubt! Oldroyd, Leyland, Robinson and Dolphin also playing. Yet their total was only 81. The wicket was probably on the wet side, bat, according to the telegraphed sum- bowling mary, the Middlesex revealed nothing startling, Durston's three wiekets for 27 runs being, apparently, the only item worth cabling in this regard. As a result of their licking, the Rose county now drop to seventh place in the championship table.

The other outstanding feature in the County results received and published yesterday was A.P.F. Chapman's huge total against Lancashire. This is the largest score wet made by the caplain of. the Hop County. Throughout last season he only topped the hundred mark twice, on both occasions against Hampshire, curiously |- enough, with scores of 159 and 136. His 260 against last year's champions at Maidstone last week end considerably helped his side to take first innings' points from Lancashire, who needed them badly. Kent are now fifth in the championship table, thanks to the abovementioned five points. Lancashire are still at the top, though Derbyshire, by defeating Somerset, take

second place from Nolts, who took five points at the expense of Leicestershire,
