CRICKET

Exciting Finish At Lord's

M.C.C. beat Yorkshire at Lord's by 25 ruris at the end of as fine a game of cricket as could be ask ed for. All through a lovely sum mer day the game went first one way and then the other. M.C.c. at one time seemed so certain to win that we flocked over to the practice ground to watch the New Zealand team at the nets, writes a Bome correspondent.

After leaving the University he played many notable innings for Middlesex, scoring 63 centuries in first-class cricket. In 1920, under his captaincy, Middlesex were champion county.
