KENT - YORKSHIRE MATCH LEFT ABANDONED

GLOUCESTER LOSE.

London, Yesterday, There were some startling re- suits recorded during the week and cricket programme and some remarkable individual fents per, formed. Mitchell, the Derbyshire low howler, startled the cricket world by capturing 12 Sussex vic- tims for a paltry 30 rans and was largely responsible for Derby- shire's overwhelming victory. At Lord's the New Zealanders' suffer- ed their first defent of the tour ut the hands of Middlesex in spite of excellent bowling figures being returned by I. B. Crumb. Larwood, the All-England fast bowler got in amongst the wickets at Trent Bridge and dismissed Somerset for 67 TURY. In the second innings J. C. White, the visiting skipper, made a valiant but unavailing attempt to improve the position of his side.

At Bradford rain caused tho abandonment of the match between Kent and Yorkshire, but during the time in which play was pos- sible Woolley scored 188 out of a total of 296 for 4 wickets.

At Manchester, Surrey were forced to relinquish first innings points to Lancashire thanks to a fine undefeated century by Hop- Wood.

Al Stourbridge. Worcestershire ayain adopted the role of giant- Glou- killers when they defeated cestershire by 101 runs. Parker was in good form with the ball, but the visiting batsmen could not contend with the leg trap bowl- ng of Root and the leg-break alow bowling of Brook. This is yet an

ther severe check to W. G. Grace's county in their bid for the cham- pionship.

At Pontypridd, the Glamorgan-

Leicester match had to be aban doned on account of rain on the second and third days. The match

Civil Service Lose Splendid Chance.

FRIGHT FOR CRAIGENGOWER.

By Short Read.")

On Saturday the fact of three matches irs the Lawn Rowle League being played at Happy Valley was responsible for a large attendance of devotees of the gamo turning out, especially at the Craigongower Cricket Club where fwo games were decided-C.C.C. against Civil Service, in the First Division and C.C.C. v. Yacht Club in the Second Division. In both matches the spectators had thrills aplenty, the Yacht Club losing by only four shots and the Civil Ser vice by ten shots.

In the early part of the First Division game the Craigengower looked like amassing a goodly score, then the visitors put on a apart, only for the locals to secure almost simultaneously a 6. a 5, and a 4. When two of the rinks had finished their combined scores were 42-40 and as the third rink had still four heads to play it ap- peared anybody's game. Unfor- tunately for the visitors' hopes the third rink lost a 6 and their Club as a whole went down by ten shole.

The following shows at a glance the varying fortunes. of the
