COUNTY BAT FREELY

281: NOT OUT

DOZEN ENGLISH BATSMEN

SCORE CENTURIES

London, May 15. PROLIFIC scoring all over the country marked the latest matches in the county cricket championship, and it was not surprising to find | several fail to reach outright decisions. Batsmen generally held the upper hand, and a dozen of them recorded three figure innings.

KENT, facing a huge first innings score of 411

by Glamorgan, accomplished a great per- formance in winning by eight wickets. They were mainly indebted to Ashdown and Freeman, the latter having astonishing figures for the match of 13 wickets for 245 runs!

BUT easily the finest achievement of the day was that of Notts, who, 132 runs behind on the first innings, made the sporting declaration of 261 for 7 in their second knock and then dis- missed Warwick for 105 to win by 24 runs.

London, May 15. W. H. Ponsford, the 33 year old Australian, who has two innings of over 400 and another two of over 300 to his credit,

was to-day not only concerned in a record-breaking third wicket partnership against the M.C.C., but finally scored 281 not out his best innings to date in England.

This, following immediately upon his great batting against Cambridge, when he hit up 229, means that he has scored 510 runs still remains unbeaten.

An eleven year old world re- cord went by the board when during the afternoon, Ponsford and Stanley McCabe sent the 137 on the score board, the pair having beaten the third wicket partnership of 375 by Hendren and Hearne the Middlesex bals- men in 1923.

At 466 McCabe's great innings came to a close, the young all- rounder having contributed 192 which included two hits over the rails, and 21 fours.

PONSFORD CARRIES.

Meanwhile Ponsford carried on. Ile had scored his 200th run in the first over of the day, and still indulging in careful cricket, he carried his total to 281 when the declaration at 650 for G was made. Ponsford scored, the majority of his runs by pulls and drives, and they earned for him 26 shots to

The M.C.C. attack, restricted to five bowlers, was badly mauled, K. R. Brown alone met with any success, but his four victims were obtained at a cost of 134 runs. "Farmor" J. C. White kept the Australlans as quiet as anybody, and took one wicket for 77 runs. Pebbles of Middlesex was very expensive, his one wicket costing 281* 141 runs, while C. S. Marriott, the Kent spin bowler returned on analysis of 0 for 120. R.E.S. Wyatt did a little bowling, and conceded 38 runs without meeting with success.
