STARTLING INCIDENT.

In the Surrey and Yorkshire match at the Oval, Yorkshire. playing the first innings, scored 184 for eight wickets. But the actual cricket became virtually of secondary riportance compared with the startling incidents that followed the declaration of the unftness of the pitch for cricket after the game had been started.

The climax occurred when the umpires, as the result of the clamour of the crowd in front of the pavilion, went out to inspect the pitch. As they returned they were mabbed-Chester was kicked on the shin and had his foot stamped on. Chester in one of the best of umpires. Before the war he was regarded in Worcestor- shire as a coming England cric- keter, but in the war one of his than hands was maimed and he kept in the game as umpire. Here are the facts given in an in- terview with the Surrey captain. No Foothold. Greenwood, the Yorkshire cap- tain having won the toas and decided that Yorkshire should bat, Fender did not in the circums tanera think it necessary for him Lo go out and look at the wicket, When he, with the Surrey team and Holmen and Sutcliffe. the Yorkshire opening pair of bats- men, reached the pitch, Fender saw that it was extremely soft and In his opinion not fit for cricket. Still, an endeavour was made to get on with the game; but after Allon and Peneh had bowled three runa were overs-off which 12 seered the bowlers complained that they could not keep their feet on the muddy turf, and Fen- der at once loft the field to cunault the Yorkshire captain 012 the in matter, and to point out that his opinion the pitch was unit.

He could then have ex- pressed his opinion to Greenwood, and if they did not agree the decl alon would have been left to the umpires, who, incidentally, were the in no doubt whatever as to unftness of the ground.
