MITCHELL AND LEYLAND MAKE RUNS FOR YORKSHIRE
London, May 18.
Yorkshire made their entry into the county championship competition during the past three days, and were held to a draw by Glamorgan, rain restrict- ing the match a singles innings apiece. Yorkshire gained a lead of over 100 runs, thanks to two batsmen, Mitchell and Leyland, who both recorded centuries in a total of 351.
Hampshire could not make good a big first innings lead against Middlesex and were held to a draw, but full points were taken by Sussex at the expense of Gloucester. As expected the Australians won hand- somely, and in friendly engagements, Lancashire drew with Oxford and Northants were benten by Cambridge. BEST PERFORMANCES.
