The buttle of the Roses was a grim struggle. Yorkshire won on the first innings in spite of a aplendid effort by Hallows, the acores.being;

3 wickets. Yorkshire: 347.

Batting first, Lancashire gave an erratic display with Hallows alone holding the fort for long. Ilallows carried his bat scoring 160 not out, practically half the total, and probably more than half the runs scored off the bat.

Yorkshire were more conaistent. There was no centurian, but they led by 42 runs. There was no chance of a finish.

NOTTS MOVE UP.

Smart Win Over Surrey at Nottingham.

Notts move up among the leaders of the championship table as the result of a smart victory over Surrey. The foundation was laid in the first innings, when Surrey fell more than 150 runk short of the Notis total and had to follow on. The scores were:

Notts: 411.

Surrey: 241 and 255. Notts: 86 for 2 wickets.

the The primary factor in sudden change of attitude on the part of Chang Heuch-liang is probably due to the information that Yen Hsi-ahan proposes remain neutral or to take the side of Feng Yu-hsiang.
