YORKSHIRE & LANCASHIRE WILL FIGHT OUT COUNTY
CRICKET
CHAMPIONSHIP
By PETER DITTON
London.
The County Cricket Championship this season may resolve itself into a struggle between those two great rivals, Lancashire and Yorkihite. The former, joint holdera of the title with Surrey, are favourites to re- tain the Championship but my guess is that Yorkshire may supersede them.
There is no denying that Lancashire, with Surrey, are the best equipped teath in the country. They have a wealth of bowling with Tattersall, Statham, Hilton änd Berry all in the match-winning class.
In fact, they are so well off for bowlers that Berry, who toured Australia with the MCC team, is having, temporarily, to play in the Second XI while Hilton takes his place in the county side.
