DISTINCTION
London, June, 26. The really important county cricket match during the last three days was that between Yorkshire and Sussex at Sheffield. But the numerous calls made, by the Test match on the Yorkshire strength hardly allowed a fair trial of ability between the teams, and Suisex, taking advantage of the position, won by an innings. The effect was to leave Suanex high and dry leaders of the championship table, while Kent, as a result of their win Lancashire, renew their challenge to Yorkshire for second place.

Where
England Were Rather Lucky
(By R. Abbit)
I imagine that yesterday morning, when everyone turned to the cric ket, there arose a gasp of surprise. As we were not in possession of the facts about the weather at Lord's over the week-end, the last thing we expected to see in our newspaper was a definite result of the test match! But there it was, and we are now absolutely square all round. We have on each side won fifty-two games. But, more than this, the luck has broken even in this particular series of matches. In the first Test Australia won the toss and we beat them. But, although we had to beat us, though not so badly as bat on a badly worn wicket, it was, so far as one can make out, not such a beast as they had on Monday last."

Yesterday was Japan's black day at Wimble- don. Only Yamagishi remains to keep the flag flying. Nishimura, Fujikura and Miki all figured in surprising defeats. Their fates were settled by a Czechoslovakian, Englishman and Australian respectively.
Nigel Sharpe, the man who has appeared in more sensational victories at Wimbledon than any other- player of his calibre, was again to the fore with a great'. victory at the expense of Fujikura. ¿`
Sharpe, who does not figure in the first twelve English ranking players, overcame Japan's third ranking singles player five sets.
