THE STRUGGLE FOR STRUGGLE RUNNERS-UP
London, Aug. 25–While the Welsh national flag flew over all Cardiff civic buildings today in honour of Glamorgan, the new County cricket
champions, other sides were engaged in the struggle for runners-up.
A. B. Sellers, enptnining Yorkshire, won the toss at Bournemouth and sent Hampshire in to bat after rain had delayed play till noon. His policy was amply justified when Hampshire were skittled out for 71. The biggest factor in this success was the slow spinner, E. Robinson, who took six for 25, including an ofter lunch spell of five. wickets for nine runs in eight overs.
John Wardle gol four for 29. When Yorkshire went in, however, they also found runs hard to get and were all out cheaply, C. Knott, the Hump-| shire right arm off apie bowler, reaping a harvest of six for 60.

He will not be allowed to leave the eue ball in the zone with two consecutive non-scoring strokes.
Joe Davis and a number of other bright, attacking players are behind the ex- periments. They fear that the safe-playing tendency is losing crowds, and point to recent games, which have taken 60 minutes for one frame.
