BOWLING
8 For 11 And
A Hat-Trick
London, July 19.
Copson, the Derbyshire fast bowler, who has been out of cricket for nearly a month owing to injury, rejoined the Derby- shire team again yesterday, and, bowling at his best, he was re- sponsible for Warwickshire be- ing skittled out for 28-the low- est total of the season.
