M.C.C. and Ground v. Oxfordshire

The Sportsman (26 august 1901, p. 3)

In this march at Lord's, on Saturday, the home club won by six wickets. The visitors made a plucky fight of it in their second venture, and, thanks to a splendid effort of ninety-six by Marsh, left Marylebone 117 to get to win. These were hit off for the loss of four batsmen, A. J. Webbe and Doll making an admirable stand by adding 77 for the third wicket. Score:
