London, To-day. Yorkshire continue to draw away from their rivals in the County Cricket Championship, an outright victory against Lancashire in the second "Battle of the Roses" increasing their average, whereas Middlesex, their nearest rivals, had their match with Sussex at Hove abandoned owing to rain before Sussex had completed an innings.

With Robinson skittling out for 92 in the second innings, however, the necessary runs were hit off for the loss of 5 wickets.

Middlesex would have dropped even further down the championship table had they dismissed Sussex's last batsman. This rather curious! situation arises from the present system of scoring which would have given Middlesex four points for a win on the first innings and thus lowered their

ALLEY JOTTINGS

THE

outstanding feature

in bowls activities at the Bowling Alley last week was the challenge game between the Black Dog and the "Tarpots" resulting in a win for the former in the first game by 51 points and a runaway victory in the second game for the "Tarpots."

The first game was very exciting as in the first frame the "Black Dogs" were only 4 points in the lead and drew further away in the second by another six points. In the last frame "Blackdoga" did bet- ter, to eventually win by 51 points. The highest individual scorer in the game was Woolgar for the

BOWLS CHAMPIONSHIP

A.K. MINU'S EASY VICTORY

:

A. B. Taylor again played a good game with an average of 150 pins a game.

* * * THE Fourth Round of the Mixed doubles between Dace. Molthen and Mrs. Soong, and A. Odell and Mrs. Horton, was keenly contested and resulted in a win for the latter pair by 46 pins.

The standard of bowling was very high Mrs. Horton making 438 pins against Mrs. E. Soong's 415.

In passing it would be interest- ing to mention that Mrs. Soong made, a "spare" from one of the most difficult "splits" on the Bowl- ing Alley, viz No. 4,.7, 9 and 10. It was a grand effort and well ́ap- plauded by those who saw it done.
