Parka, and 'Wensley. resisted the Derbyshire attack for any length of time, and then found run- getting a matter of considerable difficulty. The "bow era succeeded in getting some work on. the ball, and Worthington occasionally made it rise in awkward fashion, but, all ths same," there was little excuse for audi a moderate score. Slater took two wickets in nine overs for only seven runs, while Elliott accomplished good work behind the not a' single' bye being given away.

Derbyshiie began brightly, but Storer gave short-leg an easy catch when only eleven runs had been scored.

ESSEX. Midlanders Ahead with Two Wickets Down. a bitterly cold day at Leicester, Leicestershire had the better of what play was possible against Essex. After winning the toss the visitors collapsed badly, and but for the patience of Russell would probably have been dismissed for fewer than SO runs. Russell was in an hour and three-quarters for 35.

Cutmore was the only other Essex batsman to reach double figure's, and the total of 82 was reached in two hours and 20 minutes, Shipman and Dawson scored at a reasonable pace when they opened the Leicestershire innings, but Shipman was bowled by a good ball from Nichols when the total was 48. Dawson was bowled in hitting out at O'Connor at 72, but Armstrong and Berry passed their opponents' total in an hour and 35 minutes.

CHALLENGE. Htjkstaxtos, Wednksbax. Miss Glenna Collett's great ambition was wrecked to-day on the -storm-swept coast of' Norfolk, for ia the fourth round of the British ladies' championship here he was beaten by Miss Mabel "Wragg, the Yorkshire lady champion. Miss Wragg is frail of build, and she was further handicapped in the rain-laden gale by the fact that she weaTS spectacles, but she was better able to fight the wind and rain than was the American, and, leading most of the way, she stemmed the tide of American predominance in golf with a decisive victory. Miss Collett could scarcely keep her feet on the tees, and her swing lost its trueness.

It was her third attempt to win the British championship, and it ended disastrously. When she first came ever here with a formidable reputation she was unfortunate in meeting Miss Joyce Wethered half-way through the championship. Her second venture was more unfortunate, for after travelling across the Atlantic she discovered that the championship had been postponed owing to the general strike 1926. Miss Wragg is- a fine golfer, and is one of the few ladies who have beaten Miss Joyce Wethered, a distinction she gained in the. ladies' county finals of 1S21.

Her' success to-day was well and truly won. She con trolled the ball very much better than-, her American opponent, and, after the latter had won the first hole, Miss-Wragg took three in a row and became two up, a lead she never lost. The end came at the sixteenth, where Miss Collett missed her tee shot. There remains only one foreign challenger for the title. Mile.

The 'game. at Cam?" bridae could not'-be at-the Oval there was time'fdr only 13 runs; at Lord Lancashire match witn Middlesex did not begin untiPafter lunch, and at other places there were several interruptions. The. best- scoring was done by Notts against Gloucester, and Larwood's 101 not out was his highest innings for the county. The' West Indies did well at Oxford where Bartlett, on his -first appearance in the team, leached three figures.

Lancashire did only moderately in scoring 103 for three wickets against Middlesex, but Kent obtained a winning advantage over Worcester. Leicester passed a poor Essex score with only two wickets down. Wyatt again distinguished himself for Warwick against Somerset, and Derby finished only 33 behind Sussex and had eight wickets' in hand. LANCASHIRE AT LORD'S. Little Play in Dreary Conditions.

It' was raining when we got to Lonl'b this morning, and for a long while wc were left with nothing to do but look over the old field from the pavilion windows and think of all the great history of the game that has gone on here summer after summer. Out in the wet middle stood a strange erection called a wicket protector an elaborate structure with a roof, and, 1 imagine, rooms and cellars and attics inside.

At first I -almost mistook -it for the pavilion, and thoucht 61' Dr'e-' senting my member's ticket at the sight of it. I thought -also that it ought to have had a flag waving over it No play was possible until twenty minutes pust tn-u, and then, in cold weather, with sunshine and shadow runuing over the grass, Lancashire batted first, the vast ground silent and empty. The crack of the bat made that melancholy noise which we usually' hear on a grey monotone of 'a day in thi autumn. Hallows and Watson began carefully against steady bowl-injr by Hair; and Durston. The outfield was damp enough to take much nice out of a stroke, and the wicket itself seemed as easy as an old shoe.

A hit to leer for three by Watson was the one sign of authentic life in -half mi hour's play. And the way Hendren v.in after the stroke almost denied the evidence it gave us that we were actually in the presence of living cricketers, ail capable of mobility. Colour and human interest came into the scene when Bettington bowd he exploits googlies and leg-spin generally; hence he removes cricket from the tedium of exact science. Several things can easily happen from a ball by Bettington. It imsitil be a masterpiece of length and break, it might be a full toss, or it tnisht be a lon-j hop with, three bounces at which the batsman, first thinks of trying a hcok, then changes Lis mind and shaDcs for a drive, then contemplates a cut, and then, suddenly plunged into some confusion of the brain, seeks to combine those three hits in one, only to get out nrodisiiouslv bowled.

But Haiz. not Bettington," the first Lancashire wicket, and it was that, of the prolific Hallows, who tried to place a ball to leg and was smartly caught The ball was not quite short enough for the stroke. Hallows had to use a quick forearm turn with the bat close to the bodv. The ball was of sufficient excel lence to compel a stroke of' some sort, and Hallows, even while making a mistake, proved himself a county cricketer, for the hit was "quite pretty. -The Hallows-Watson combination this time, had been worth 41, made in about fifty minutes.

One or two balls from Haig were observed to- "kick" just a little, whereupon the batsmen walked.solemnly down the pitch and prodded the earth with their white blades. so and chaste yesterday and now beginning 'to iook very dirty on the reverse or hump sides of theiif. The cricket "season is now definitely here at last. A colossal full toss nearly -bowled Watson when his score was 15; Bettington was iue amuMng bowler. A missed full pitch is always comical it has the effect of making a fool of the batsman, as he blows out his cheeks and smites the vacant air.

Bettington then broke through Watson's defences with a i-apital googly, and again Watson was fortunate. Still Watson nlayed well atid pulled a short one from Haig to tut. ua. uuuuuai.i uia ucaiuiK' manfully on his back foot. His came to a dramatic all.

sudden Durston sent down fast batl at which "Watson made stroke. He clearly expected the ball to swing away, and instead it brake back and disturbed the wickets. Watson batted an -hour and a quarter for 19, and Ijincashire's second wicket fell at 69. -The day was bitterly cold, utterly unfit 'for', the There really ought to fie 'a against playing in rweather that is beiow a. certain temperature, but no -doubt such a rule 'would put mi' ena tt.

At Oxford yesterday Nunes and Baitlett came together when seven of the Indians were out for 132, and they put on exactly 100 before Baitlett played on. Bartlett, who is making his first appearance in the side, is very small in but in style and- method he created the impression of being the best batsman tn the side. His driving on the off si-Ie was very well-timed, and ha brought oft fine strokes on the leg side. He batted hours, and hit two sixes and fourteen fours. He gave a chance in the slips at 62, and at square leg just before he was out.

Cons tan tine had a lively quarter of an hour for 36, in which were two sixes and five fours, but Nunes, who appeared to be lame, took two houra and forty minutes to reach his fifty. Scores: Weit ladiei. First innings. F. Maitm Crawler A.

In account of the second" day's play in the -Warwickshire match we' read: Obviously -it was cricket to force the-pace without taking nnnecessary Lanca shire as fact gave us a taste of. their dreariest batting." Of course the reason for this is the wretched 'tinkering with decimals which may determine -the cham pionship; a same is not good enough in itseif it is. a means of the winning ot that unglittering prize. Sow that Lancashire has shown that she can 'get it, she is in a position to do for public cricket the greatest service that a -great team can do-rrnamely, to -set the example of "playing the game, that particular game, for its own sake. It, for example, she is in for her.

second, inn ings against six in-hand. an hour to play, and 'eighty, rum to win, let her go Ml out for them, and if -she gets them, so rrirtch the better, and if not there is no great harm done. aTet the' champion ship go. to Nottingham or Yorkshire or any other- county' that wants it: Lancashire, both professional, will -(have played cricket. Does anyone think- that a team that, played the game in this way would fail' to command the affectionate loyalty of its followers It would draw tens of thousands who themselves had come into the same spirit, or who, being' tanght by "a' great example, were' coming.

into, that spirit; and outside its oara' county it would win the enthiiiiastic admiration- of- the cricket world. Yours. May A. Seave SCULLING. Barry DtIines Goodsell's Offer.
