KENT'S CLEAR-CUT VICTORY OVER NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

EATSMAN'S GREAT BOWLING FOR ESSEX: CROOM IN FORM

London, Aug. 9.

Notts' debacle against Kent at Canterbury to-day does not augur very well for their much-anticipated match with the Australians which starts on Saturday.

The Midlanders were made 1

Iarod, and Kent were able to apply the closure at 445 for 6. Frank Woolley, who is always at his best on the home grounds, delighted with an innings of 101, and the rest of the batsmen contributed

useful scores.

After Woolley had faded out pleture, Marriott and of the Freeman stepped in. The two spin bowlers tied Notts up in knots. Marriott was especially effective, the schoolmaster hav- ing aggregate figures over two

innings of 11 for 83.

Notts were diamissed in their first innings for 110, Freeman taking 6 for 62 and Blarriott 4 for

27.

Following on they did a little better, but were sent back for 175, Marriott capturing 7 for 50, and Kont thus won by an innings and

154 runa.

EASY FOR ESSEX. Essex also accomplished a clear- cut victory in two days against Somerset, winning by ten wickets. Farnes reminded the Test selectors of his claims for August 18 by tak- ing 4 for 35 in Somerset's first innings, but the real destroyer Was Eastman, who actually secur- ed four wickets without conceding A single run. Somerset were all out for GO.
