London, Yesterday.
The mid-week cricket programme provided a number of drawn matches, but there were, nevertheless, 'some very interesting results recorded. At Cardiff, Surrey and Glamorganshire weat one better than Gloucestershire and Yorkshire by declaring their innings closed without a single run registered. This is unprecedented in the annals of first-class cricket and will doubtless, re. ceive the close attention of the .C.C. Winning the toss P. G. Fender elected to bat for no

own.
Notts, after securing a lead on the first innings by the skin of their teeth, were given a second innings fright at Northampton when they lost eight wickets and still required twenty runs for victory.
Yorkshire again adopted their winning vein, when they, defeated Leicestershire by an innings and 25 runs. Herbert Sutcliffe, England's premier batsman, was largely responsible for their Formidable total of 447 for 4 declared. Devastating bowling by Bowes and Macaulay completed Leicestershire's discomforture. Yorkshire work ip spasms. A run of five successive victories was terminated by a drawn game against Notis at Sheffield, Five more victories followed this game and then a check was received in the last match against Lancashire at Sheffield. Now they have started again. How many will it be this time? ....
K. S. Duleepsinhji, the best batsman of the younger generation in England, registered his ninth ampionship century for the season at Hostings. The cares of the Sussex captaincy ob- vlously do not weigh too heavily on, his youthful shoulders. Sussex, however, had to be content with a draw and the receipt of major points.
