London, Aug. 29. Spectators at Leicester watch- ing the County Cricket Cham- pionship fixture between Leices tershire and Gloucestershire were amply rewarded for the de- feat of their county team by some sparkling batting by Wally Ham- mand, the England batsman, who is the latest cricketer to top the 200 mark this season.

Hammond was in particularly good form and his 252 runs for Gloucestershire enabled the visi tors to win by an innings and 260 runs after an early declaration. This is the fourth time this season that Hammond has reached thres figures and the 193rd time during his career.
