YORKSHIRE BEATEN FOR FIRST TIME

THIS SUMMER Injuries Rob Side Of Its Batting Strength

London, July 19.

Middlesex beat Yorkshire at Lord's by eight wickets in a match remarkable for its casualties. Yorkshire, indeed, were extremely unfortunate, for Hutton and Gibbs could not bat in their second innings, and Leyland, who had dislocated a thumb while batting on Saturday, could only play two balls before he retired,

With three of their best batsmen out of netion, therefore, it is hardly surprising that Yorkshire could make no more than 103 in their second innings against some good bowling by Smith and Gray.

The following were the re- sults of the two matches play- ed in the Bowls championship: J. V. Ramsay beat E. C. Fin- cher 21-19 on the 24th,

A. Myde-Lay beat T. Cole- man 21-20 on the 21st,

though he scored seven shots in the next four heads, he could not pre- vent Coleman from reaching 20 when his own score was only 12,

But a run of successes on the fol- lowing six heads enabled him to ob- tain the nine shots which he required to win the game. It was a remark- able recovery.

On the 18th head, however, when Coleman was leading 20-16, there was a good mensure for the shot. In fact, an outsider had to be called in to decide.

The match terminated on the 21st head.

Coleman started off in great style with a three, one, two, four, two and two in that order, but after that he could only score on three heads, two on the 11th, three on the 13th

and one on the 15th. Hyde-Lay's big- gest count was a three on the 12th.
