London, To-day.

Some excellent individual feats marked the home first-class cricket matches concluded yester- day, the most noteworthy performance being re- turned by Martin, of Worcester, who in the course of the match against Somerset, captured 14 wickets for 110 runs.

SCORING WAS GENERALLY HIGH, THE BIGGEST TOTAL BEING SUSSEX'S. 546 FOR 5 DEC. NO FEWER THAN THREE BATSMEN IN THIS INNINGS, TOPPED THE CENTURY, JAMES PARKS 106, COX 161 AND JAMES LANGRIDGE 150 NOT OUT MAKING LIGHT OF THE WARWICKSHIRE ATTACK.

Warwick, despite a century by Wyatt, were 268 runs în ar- rears on the first innings. Following on, Norman Kilner and Hill batted to such good effect that at the call of time, they were 13 be- hind with eight wickets intact and actually finished in a better posi- tion than their opponents.

FRIENDLIES

Oxford University beat Leicester- shire by 254 runs at Oxford. oxford: 386 for 6 dec. (N. S. Mitchell-

Innes 137, Barton 139) and 223 for -2 dec. Kimpton 94 not out). Leicester: 235 and 120 (Darwall Smith

5 for 34).

The Notts' attack, ably led by Voce, proved much too good for Middlesex, who were unable to reach the double-century in either of their innings. Set to score only 93 runs for victory, Notts were always struggling for runs against some brilliant bowling by Smith (7 for 35) who captured by all the wickets that fell and only just succeeded.

GLAMORGAN'S BAD SPELL Glamorgan are at present passing through a bad spell and dropped more points at Tonbridge where Kent defeated them on the first innings.

Bowlers completely dominated the game at Bath where Somerset. beat Worcester by 3 wickets. Worcester were sent back for 170 in their first knock by Wellard (6 for 70), and the opposition obtained a slender lead of 24 runs on the first innings, Martin returning 8 for 66. Wellard was again to the fore in Worcester's second innings and Somerset were set to get 130 to win. Martin then

had another inspired spell and took

6 for 44 and the home County only wòn by 3 wickets.

Oxford University did very well to beat Leicester by 254 runs at Oxford, while the New Zealanders met with a further defeat at the hands of Lancashire.

Sir Abe Bailey's Valerian start- ing at 3 to 1, secured its second Ascot win taking the Queen Alex-3 andra Stakes over 2 miles, which is the longest race on the British turf. Enfield, the 15 to 8. favourite, was second two lengths behind,
