YORKSHIRE & MIDDLESEX TIE FOR THE COUNTY CRICKET CHAMPIONSHIP
London, Aug. 29.--The English County Cricket Championship end- ed in a tia today for the first time since, 1898 when Yorkshire forced a two-day win over Glamorgan, last year's champions, and levelled with Middlesex at 192 points each.
Sixty years ago Nottinghamshire, Lancashire and Surrey all shared the Championship.
Glamorgan's batting collapsed twice today against the combination of the fast right arm and left arm bowling of Alex Coxon and John Wardle. Coxon took three for 42 in the first innings and five for 17 in the second. Wardle's figures were four for 47 and five for 15.
Left to get 348 runs to win, Glamorgan were all out for 69 in their second innings, and Yorkshire won by 378 runs,
Hampshire gained an unexpected first innings lead against Lancashire after fighting to avoid a follow on. Clifford Walker, 29-year-old Yorkshireman, who was awarded his County cap afterwards, was chiefly responsible, for he took part in a century stand with his captain, Eagar, and then put on 94 with Shackleton, a Lancashire-born player..
Walker batted faultlessly for hin second century, which was his highest score for the County, and he took part in another County record by becoming the seventh Hampshire batsman to Beoro one thousand runs thin

The foot movements of a high class player during. the course of his swing aro made so quickly and smooth- ly that they quite often are taken for granted by every. body, except the most observant student of the game.. It is possible to play good golf from the hips upwards, but you must have good form from the hips down to be a really first class player.
Those who are observait enough to notice the footwork of, the top players will come to reallso that balance is an important part of every golf shot. They will realiso also that it is Impossible to attain balanco without the proper foot action during the course of the awing.
