YORKSHIRE'S POSITION BECOMES MORE SECURE
SURREY DEFEATS MIDDLESEX AT OVAL WITH EASE
BOWLERS HOLD UPPER HAND IN COUNTY CRICKET PROGRAMME
London, Aug. 9.
Middlesex seriously jeopardised their chances of catching up with Yorkshire in the County Cricket Championship to-day as the result of their defeat by 200 runs by Surrey at the Oval, Lancashire, next in the table, only beat Nottinghamshire on first innings, thus strengthening Yorkshire's position at the top.
Some brilliant bowllog was seen in the ecurse of the matches. L. O'B, Fleetwood-Smith and W. J. O'Reilly, the Australion Test bowlers, took all the wickets between them in the match against Durham which the tourists won by an innings and 179 rubs.
Tom Goddard, the veteran Glou- cester bowler, had "bug" of 12 fur
total cost of
only 87 rung against Hampshire: James Langridge back 11 for 119 for Sussex against Kent; Holles had 12 for 132 for Warwick- shire against Northants.
Because of these fine bowling per- .formances, scoring on the whole was
on the low side.
