MOSS TAKES SILVERSTONE TROPHY

PUNTERS CAN LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER OUTSIDER TURNING UP IN EPSOM DERBY

Says CLAUDE RICHARDSON

In the duel against France

London, May 15.

The first two classic races of the English season were triumphs for England and for the bookmakers. In this season of topsy- turvey form, perhaps England can look forward, like the layers, to another outsider furning up in the premier race of them all, the Epsom Derby on June 0.

London, May 14.

Northamptonshire, who beal Surrey, the Champions, last week, caused anothor upset today when they snatched first innings points against Yorkshire, who many people think are chief dangers to Surrey keeping the Championship Pennant.

But Yorkshire tasted the fire of Frank Tyson whose five wickets for 60 per- formance was chiefly responsible for Yorkshire's nine runs deficit. Then pace told again for Fred Trueman put Yorkshire back with a chance when he claimed three of four wickets which Northants lost in their second innings before they could rench a half century.

UNBROKEN 4TH WICKET STAND..

Poole And Stocks Save NottinghamshireTM From Heavy Defeat

Nottingham, May 14.

A fighting unbroken fourth wicket stand of 122 between Ken Poole and Fred Stocks saved Not- tinghamshire from the prospect of a heavy defeat by the Australian tourists on the second day of the three-day cricket match here today.

The Australians declared at the mammoth total of 547 for eight at lunch and seemed to be heading for their first victory of the tour when they claimed three Nottinghamshire wickets for 55. But Poole and Stocks, both left-handers, retrieved the County position with the first century stand against the tourists.
