TOWNSEND IN BRILLIANT FORM FOR DERBY AGAINST SOMERSET

For the first time since May 24, Sussex have been deposed as leaders of the county cricket championship table. Lancashire, who for the past few weeks have been threatening to dislodge the southerners, accom- plished this to-day as a result of their one innings vic- tory, and the failure of Sussex against Kent.

Sussex have been steadily declining for the past six weeks, while both Lancashire and Yorkshire have improved at their expense. The record of the three leading teams now read:
