WENSLEY DISMISSES GLOUCESTER CHEAPLY.

London, Yesterday.

Yorkshire have to all' Intents and purposes won the County Championship this season and no one will begrudge them their success. They have proved to be the best balanced side in the competition and, possessing a tactical skipper in F. E. Greenwood, the side has proved irresistable. Their bowling has been of an exceptionally high standard with Verity and Bowes largely responsible for the dismissal To-day this pair gave Yorkshire an overwhelming victory over of opposing elevens for low scores. Glamorganshire.

Kent, who started the season in such dashing style that they were instantly acclaimed to be the "hope" of the South, fizzled out of Championship running half way through the season and their re echt displays of returning form are now too belated to offer the White Rose any really formidable op position.

:.

Middlesex after batting through the rain-curtailed match against Warwickshire at Lord's compil- ed the useful total of 408 for 7, but, when the fact that 123 runs were scored by E. T. Killick and Greville Stevens is taken into consideration, the batting on the whole must have been very rugged. In scoring 117 Stevens registered his third century of the season and his second against Warwickshire

Killick's double century was his first big he scored 170 not out against their attack at Edgbaston, score of the season.

Wensley was largely responsible for the check Gloucestershire sustained at Cheltenham for he claimed 8 wickets for 53 out of a total of 104."
