But at first cuts and pulls were there for the asking, and 38 runs had been rattled up with refreshing ease when a brilliant piece of fielding by Wright at square leg changed the whole course of the game. Potts, a believer in progress, had singled out a long-hop from Stafford and caught it a fourpenny one full on the bulge.

But a boy with a shock of honey-coloured hair leaped forward and took a falling catch incredibly well. Miracles such as this have been known to unsteady batsmen before, and that is perhaps why Hunt left at the same total leg before wicket to Ramadhin, and. incidentally, Ramadhin's hundredth victim so far.

The Belgians, with three men home were wet and slippery enough to transform the fielders into skating figures and the bowlers into heavy and insecure amphibians ploughing their way to the wickets.

The batsmen perhaps were not equally handicapped, but the ball came through unwillingly on to the bat and nothing about the scene was particularly conducive to the creation of glamour or the making of strokes. What little cricket was permitted had much in common with the first day of the Whitsuntide fixture at Leeds. Howard again lost the toss the ninth successive time that Lancashire had done so against Yorkshire and Lowson and Hutton went through the play unbeaten. There were occasional moments of anxiety for them both. Hutton indeed played two or three times at Lomax outside the off stump and missed the ball, while Lowson was not always at home to Tattersall.

For the rest Hutton, having almost played on to Berry, at once drove the same bowler straight and beautifully for six, whereupon Berry positioned a man on the boundary behind him and conceded scarcely another run. Hultnn ton. turice hit Tattersall through 2. R. MnthUs ID 3.

EVANS IN FORM AT FALLOWFIELD There was some excellent racing and many fine individual performances at the Fallowfield games held on the Manchester A.C. ground on Saturday. The outstanding performance was the success of F. Evans (M.A. and in the Manchester mile, for, with this third successive victory, Evans made the trophy his own property.

Although the opposition appeared weaker points gave Lock at short fine leg an easy catch, while with only a single added. Simpson, who had already been missed by Lock, was leg before wicket to a ball from Bedser, that made disconcerting haste off the pitch. Bedser's ascendancy at this stage can be gauged from the fact that his three wickets bad been taken at a cost of only six runs in the course of as many overs.

Cajkovski, the comic turn of the side and a clever half-back, made an opening for Zebec on the left wing but his shot was just wide. Hungary's first goal came about 23 minutes from the end. Puskas dribbled round Beara (who was stretched full length on the ground) and tapped the ball into the net Then, just before the whistle went, Beara was beaten again, this time by Czibor.

fiat The record that had Wright had been called up from square leg to give a sample of his bowling. As a boy who has just completed his two years' training with the forces he proved beyond all doubt that the Army authorities are making the best possible use of their cricketing material. Wright bowled twelve overs in all (including four maidens) for 18 runs and three wickets, and the outstanding feature of it ail was his firm control of length. At the other end Ramadhin for upwards of two hours devised and baited traps with rare skill, and might have had three further wickets to add to his six for 79 if some of his fieldsmen ever so stiff in the hams had been able to dart in more swiftly and snap up catches knee high. Crompton, alas, had only made nine runs for two wickets in answer to Walsden's 126 all out when rain fell heavily and washed out the promise of a highly diverting struggle.

Harvey, too, hit Laker for four but at 67 the partnership was ended by Surridge having Poole well caught by Lock at short leg. Lunch was taken with the score only 68 for six. Heavy rain then set in and threatened to end play for the day, but after an hour and a half, suddenly it gave way to bright sunshine. The more optimistic of the spectators who had patiently braved the rain, many without shelter, were rewarded when play was resumed.

Within the space of 35 minutes Surrey had captured the remaining four wickets, three of them falling to Surridge. for the addition of only 16 runs. Bedser and Surridge deservedly shared the ten wickets and were supported by the keenest of fielding. Butler and Jepson. bowling fiercely to a threatening field, gave Fletcher and Clark many unpleasant moments at the start of the Surrey innings, but both batsmen were quick to realise that in such conditions attack was the best form of defence and soon began to look for runs The total had been taken briskly to 28 when Fletcher, having twice hooked both bowlers firmly to the boundary, was well caught by Poole at deep fine leg in repeating the stroke.

Butler twice rapped Clark's nads sharply in quick succession, but when, after an energetic spell of seventy minutes, Jepson and Butler were rested both Clark and Fishlock dealt so determinedly with Harvev and Mathews, the latter a fast medium left-hand bowler wife the easiest of actions, that Butler was recalled.
