SUSSEX FIND THEIR

James Parks Puzzles Surrey

(Special Air Mail Service)

London, June 7. By THOMAS MOULT At last Sussex are playing in the masterful way that won them the

distinction of being runners-up in the county championship for the past three seasons.

Straightway at Kennington Oval they took a grip on Surrey that may give them their fifth victory, even though the match has been roobed of its opening day through

for nearly its worst, moreover, yesterday's cricket was reduced to three and a half-hours. But the deadly bowing of James Parks prevented the Surrey batsmen from occupying the crease longer than two and a half hours, and replying to a meagre total of 145 all out, Sussex scored 80 for one with apparent ease: They are. therefore, only 89 behind, and nina

The Surrey innings may be com- pared to a summer day that is bright with sunshine too early. It began with such a flourish that 10. were scared off Tate's opening over, and then it went suddenly to pieces, broken utterly, with only one frag- ment worth preserving in the re- cords.

This was a ninth wicket stand that put on 30, mainly through Holmes, who acted the legendary role of captain and fought valiant- ly until he was within five of his half-century.

TATE STRIKES FIRST BLOW

Tate dealt the first blow, as be does so often. When Sandham and Gregory had sent up 20 with deceptive quickness, a splendid swinger in his fifth over got Gregory low, an act of revenge for two fours to the leg-boundary which suggested that the batsman was going to have a happy day. Sandham then took it into his head to copy Gregory and use his pads to Cornford's extra-fast in- swinger-the eight time the Surrey veteran has been out like that this

season.

Squires did nothing but stay in twenty-five minutes for two, fol- lowing which thrilling period he was caught in the slips off James Parks with the score at 35; The rain-affected pitch was now re- sponding to spin, though not with any particular eagerness-it be- came easy again later on

80 for one, the rain fell again. This time it brought down the curtain until this morning, leaving the brothers from Haywards Heath with an unfinished partnership of 60 tn 40 minutes, and James Parks going strongly towards his own 50. SURREY
