BLACKHEATH BOGEY REARS HEAD AGAINST SURREY

BRILLIANT WIN

BY KENT

FOURTH INNINGS SCORE OF 416 FOR 6

FRANK WOOLLEY LEADS WAY

WITH WONDERFUL 132

LEADERSHIP. UNCHANGED: SUSSEX WIN AGAIN.

The old Blackheath bogey, believed to have been laid six or seven years ago, reared its head again against | Surrey yesterday, when Kent pulled off a remarkable victory on the famous Rectory Field, after facing an al- most impossible task. Thanks to the team in general, and Frank Woolley in particular, Kent won the match in a great finish by four wickets, after being set over 400 runs.

When, on the second day, Surrey took a first innings lead of 48 rana and then scored 365 in their return to the crease, it seemed that the moat Kent could hope for, batting in the fourth innings, was draw.

But a good start saw the Surrey attack fairly collared, and later Frank Wolley, who is always nt his best on Kent grounds, came with a glorious Innings of 132, and Kent secured their 416 runs after the fall of the alxth wicket.

Kent's response to Surrey's first Inninge acore of 240, was 182. Surrey batted more confidently in the second innings, and aggregated

365, Gregory contributing 29.

PLAY IN SECOND TEST

There was a pleasant garden-party atmosphere at Lord's for the opening day of the second Test match. The bunting was fluttering in the sunny wind. The trees were rocking with the noise like that of the sea on the shore and could be heard across the silent ground.
