CRICKET IN ENGLAND
THE COUNTY MATCHES. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, May o. Rain seriously interfered with tne first round of the county cricket championship, which was confined to a match between Worcestershire (who finished last in 1932) and Notts at Nottingham. The wet wicket was unsuitable to H. Larwood, the Notts express bowler, and, apart from two overs on the first day, Ira was not put-to Jowl. C. P, Waters Worcestershire's captain, who headed his team's batting averages last season, had the distinction of scoring the first century of the new season, contributing 115 to a total of 210. Notts in reply, scored 126 for two wickets, the match being drawn. In addition several friendly matches were played, and in these two centuries were scored, with some other good inn-'ngs. R. de W. K. Winlaw, who won his Blue for the first time last year, scored 115 not out for Cambridge against Sussex, and R. JGregory contributed 111 to Surreys total against M.C.C. Surrey nearly secured an outright win.
