Lancashire batsmen gaye sorry displays in both their innings and failed to top the 140 mark on either occasion. Chiefly respon- sible for these debacles were Robin- son (5 for 57) in the first innings and Verity (5 for 21) in the
second.
Leyland returned to form with the bat for Yorkshire and scored 195 of his sides' total of 453. Nut- ter bowled very well in this innings and, despite the big score compiled by Yorkshire, returned the excel- lent figures of 5 for 68.
Most notable individual feat was provided by Kenneth Farnes, the Essex and England fast bowler. Playing against Worcester, he took 14. wickets in the course
of the match for 119 runs..
W. R. Hammond was also well to the fore with another, century, this time at the expense off Somer- set.
