Sellars , and Wardall all away. Still even as it was, with the disadvantage of losing the toss , the side played up so well that there was a margin of nine wickets in their favour at the finish . Sussex opened the gamein such promising style that with only one wicket down80 was up. Peel's bowling, however, proved too muchfor the remaining batsmen except G. Brann(35), and there was only an addition of 93 runs. Yorkshire began batting in anything but promising fashion . Wainwright (34) was the first to make any stand , and w h e nthe edge was taken off the Sussex bowling , R. W . Frank (58) and Peel (66) scored freely , adding 102 in the last seventy -five minutes on the first day. Heavyrain overnight made the wicket very queer on the second afternoon , and the Yorkshire innings was quickly closed for an addi- tion of only 32 runs . Thepitch was at its worst whenSussex went in a second time in a minority of 67 runs , and in spite of a capital innings of 40 by W .
