Great Hitting By H.T. Bartlett

94 In 75 Minutes Off

Yorkshire Attack

London, May 22.

A wonderful, display of hitting by H. T. Bartlett roused the spectators to enthusiasm at Headingley, where Sussex scored 260, and Yorkshire replied with 127 without losing a wicket.

Going in when half the Sussex side were out for 106, Bartlett, an old Cambridge captain and a left-hander, began hitting at once. In an hour and a quarter he had scored 94 out of 126, before falling to a catch near the long-off boundary.

Twice he hit Verity for three, sixes in an over, and, besides a seventh six, there were nine 4's in his remarkable innings, in which his on-driving and square- leg hitting were particularly bril- liant. When he was out the spectators jumped to their feet, and the cheering continued long after Bartlett was in the pavilion.

With two matches. finished the Black Watch were leading by 2. holes, and the issue depended on the result of the match between Lieut. J. B. Depree (Seaforths) and Capt. B. A. Innes (Black Watch); Depree went to the last hole. 2 up, and he had a stroke in hand on the 18th green which seemed likely to give his side victory by a single hole. In the excitement of the moment he touched and moved his ball while addressing it, thus losing a stroke and enabling Innes to halve the hole in 5 and bring the team totals, level:

Extra holes were played by all mem- bers of the two teams, and the Black Watch finished winners by 8 holes to
