Edrich was in consultation for 211⁄2 hours, Afterwards he said:""It is difficult to know when everything will be better. The trouble seems to be in the third and fourth vertebrae, I shall be coming again tomorrow,

FAST LEG THEORY ATTACK

SAVES WEST INDIES FROM DEFEAT

BY

YORKSHIRE

Sheffield, Aug. 1.

Yorkshire, the joint holders of the County Championship, lost their chance here today of becoming the only County to beat the West Indies so far this season, because they had no answer to the fast log theory bowling of their opponents. The West Indies thus won citing match by 35 rans with 20 minutes to spara.

an ex-

At the interval Yorkshire were sill on top with eight wickets left and only 92 runs required in 110 minutes for victory. During the Interval, however, there must have been a council-of-war in the West Indies dressing room, for thereafter the touring team dictated matters so completely, that the Yorkshiremen had to take risks to score, and the result was fatal.

The new policy was fast leg theory bowling, and Frank Worrell and Prior Jones, especially the former, proved masters of this technique. The Yorkshire batsmen could not find a solution and in the end they failed, but failed gloriously in one of the most finely contested matches seen this season.

WEDNESDAY OUT TO RESTORE PAST GLORIES

By ARCHIE QUICK

Now that Sheffield Wednesday have gained prùme- tion to Division One, an all-out effort is to be made at Hillsborough to restore some of the past glories of this one of the oldest clubs in the country. Secretary- Manager Eric Taylor told me that improvements to the ground will be made next year and in the meantime the club is prepared to go to any expense lo nvercome any weaknesses that may show themselves,

"Wednesday have a two-year policy," he said, "with the Championship as the goal but we shall first of all consolidate our position in the better class."
