US LEAGUE BASEBALL COUNTY CRICKET REVIEW

Interest Now Centred On Second Money And Other Two First Division Berths

New York, Sept. 8.

With the Yankees and Milwaukee a cinch to meet again in the world series that starts in Mil- waukee on October 1, interest in both leagues centres today in the struggle for second money and the other two first-division berths, which bring them a share of world series receipts. The Yankees, after dividing two games with the lowly Senators on Sunday, have a fat 12% games advantage over the Chicago White Sox, but the Red Sox are closing in on the Chisox.

Surrey Win Like True Champions; Hampshire Worthy Runners-Up

By NORMAN YARDLEY

(Former England and Yorkshire Captain)

Surrey have won the County Championship for the 7th consecutive time, aʼrecord that appears almost as invincible as Jim Laker's 19 wickets in a Test Match.

I give them my heartiest congratulations because, as Peter May so rightly says, this has been their most difficult year. Yet, like true champions, they produced their best form at the most vital period when their nearest rivals, Hampshire; Northampton and Somerset all began to falter under the strain.
