S u s s e x. Sheffield , M a y23 and 24. Sussex , whohadthe advantage of going in first on a slow wicket , had all the best of the early part of the game, to the extent of a lead of ninety runs at the end of an innings . The advantage was mainly the result of the good batting of Marlow (59) and the effective bowling of Tate , Parris , and J. Hide . O nthe first day, indeed , Yorkshire had so muchthe worst of the play that w h e nstumps were drawnthey were still 79 to the bad with two of their best bats out in the second innings . As the wicket improved , though, Yorkshire's playimproved in proportion , andthe whole course of the gamewas soon changed. Wainwright, who had bowled with remarkable success in the first innings of Sussex , was equally in evidence against their bowlers . Out of 197 he scored 104, and his hitting all round was very well timed . Though Sussex had only 136 to get to win, Yorkshire always had plenty in hand. Hirst's fast bowling at the finish effectually destroyed any chances they might have had, and in ten overs he got six wickets (five bowled) at a cost of only sixteen runs . Yorkshire w o nby 40 runs . Yorkshire , 81 and 226 ; total , 307. Sussex , 171 and 96 ; total , 267. Wainwright (1st innings Sussex ) O v e r s. M a i d e n s R u n s. W i c k e t s. 7 30.3 9 6 6
