London, May 19. Kent gained their second two-day win of the season today-

this time at the expense of Worcestershire. But although their bowlers did a fine job in dismissing Worces- tershire a second time for 111, the major honours must go to all-rounder Alan Dixon, who scored his maiden century in first-class cricket,

Orlando Sirola, of Italy, brought off the roof today in the French International Lawn Tennis Championships here.

Yorkshire, the County chant- pians, are poised to gain their second victory in succession. But their hopes of finishing their match against Somerset at Hull with an immings' win in two days were shattered by a lively fourth wicket partnership of 100 between P.B. Wight (56) and Chris Greetham (81), Somer- set had been forced to follow on 161 behind, and at the close were only nine runs ahead with three wickets left.

Glamorgan a lead of 107.

The unseeded Italian defeated Roy Emerson (Aus-50
