AMATEURS' FINGERS IN THE PIF.

Bowlers Still in Great Form.

Yesterday's matches proved a more open affair, though the bowlers came out on top when each match is fully summarised.

Three centuries were scored yesterday, and two of these, one is glad to note, were contributed by amateur players: It is particularly refreshing to see England's Captain, A. P. F. Chapman, coming back into his old form with a century against Somerset. E. F. Longrigg had the misfortune to be dismissed when 84 in the second innings. after, having passed the century mark in the first innings, Geary took 112 runs off the Oxford University bowling, and may well estab- lish himself as a strong candidate for Test cricket honours.
