JACK HOBBS NEARING HIS TWO HUNDRED CENTURIES

LANCASHIRE SKIPPER'S SUCCESSFUL GAMBLE

London, July 28.

Despite the fact that several good scores were returned during the mid-week cricket season, the superiority of the ball over bat was emphasised, just by way of a change.

Lancashire were fortunate in scoring, a 7-run win over Hampshire and their victory was attributed to the good captaincy of P. T. Eckersley who took a bold step in declaring his second innings closed at 146 for 5.

Jack Hobbs figured amongst the batsmen who entered the land of the magical three figures. He now has 195 hundreds to his credit and as he is playing very well just now, it seems decidedly likely that he will complete his '200 centuries before the season is out.

There were two postponements on Saturday owing to the inclemency of the weather, the match between the Craigengower and the Kowloon Cricket Club having to be left off with the Champions leading by two points with less than half the game finished.

The Bowling Green made certain of remaining in the race for league leadership by defeating Kowloon" Dock. The Civil Service accounted for Recreio, as was anti- cipated, and the Police, playing at home, won from Tai koo. In the junior division, the results were very much as anticipated perhaps the only surprise being the" some- what heavy defeat of the Police at the Electric R.C.'s ground.

TICH" FREEMAN IN FINE FORM

There was a thrilling finish to Lancashire's game with Hampshire. The Northerners with their eye on the cluck took a sporting chanle declaring the second, innings closed at 140 for 3 This left Kampshire to score 218 to win, and the men from the South. almost, accomplished the task, losing by seven runs only.

Hampshire went all out to get the runs in the time, but they found the bowling of Sibbles too accurate to permit of liberties being taken with it. Sibbles took 6 wickets for 0 runs.

Philip Mead, the veteran left hander added another three-figure ionings to his list.
