YORKSHIRE'S POSITION BECOMES MORE SECURE
SURREY DEFEATS MIDDLESEX AT OVAL WITH EASE
BOWLERS HOLD UPPER HAND IN COUNTY CRICKET PROGRAMME
London, Aug. 9.
Middlesex seriously jeopardised their chances of catching up with Yorkshire in the County Cricket Championship to-day as the result of their defeat by 200 runs by Surrey at the Oval, Lancashire, next in the table, only beat Nottinghamshire on first innings, thus strengthening Yorkshire's position at the top?
Some brillant bowling was teen in the course of the matches. L. O'B. Fleetwood-Smith and W. J. O'Reilly, the Australian Test bowlers, took all the wickets between them in the match against Durham which the tourists won by an innings and 179
runa.
Tom Goddard, the veteran Glou- cester bowler, had a "bag" of 12 for n total cost of only 87 runs against Hampshire: James Langridge had 11 for 110 for Sussex against Ken!; Hollies had 12 for 132 for Warwick- shire against Northants.
Because of these fine bowling per- formances, scoring on the whole was
the low side.
