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 Sussox, taking advantage of the position, won by an innings. The effect was to leave Sussex! high and dry leaders of the championship table, while Kent, a a result of their win Lancashire, renew their challenge to Yorkshire for second place.

One of the most interesting games in the first class pro-f gramme, although it was not county championship engagement, was that between Surrey and Oxford, which ended in a five wickets win for Surrey after the University had declared in their accond innings.
To Oxford's first knock of 305, Surrey responded with 483. The University batted a second time for 280 for 7 and then declared- a very bold move.

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 beat us, though not so badly as we beat them. But, although we had to 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.
It would be absurd to read too much to do it. And Chipperfield was not somewhat less than justice to Bowen, into our victory. We are, of course, out 17.

At a meeting of the Clab held at Newmarket Mr. G. D. Smith, the Senior Steward, said the Stewards hoped that all members, when acting as local Stewards, would doal severely with any such cases which were brought before them. He said that the Ste- In
wards proposed to repeat,
The Racing Calendar," the notice to jockeys which was published in 1929, and which would warn jockeys that Buch behaviour would not be tolerated.
~~THE WARNING.” This notice reads:-
"The Stewards of the Jockey Club warn all jockeys that reckless, careless and erratic riding, will not be tolerated. They have requested Stewards of all meetings to report to the Registry Office all such cases, and any jockey so reported wilt be liable at once to have his licence withdrawn under Rule 17, or to be suspended by the Stewards of the Jockey Club for such period as they may decide."
After the mishap at Cheater, which doubtless. provoked the Jockey Club to draw attention to the rules regarding rough riding, an inquiry into the affair was held, but there was insufficient evidence to decide
on whom the
blume should be placed, and no further stops therefore could be taken. Even so, the accident was one which never should havo occurred and it is hoped that the warning of the Stowards will have the desired offéct in stam- ping out a tendency which is only in the worst interests of racing.
