Rainonly admitted of play on the first day, and Yorkshire madethe best use of a good wicket . Theywere in as a matter of fact for the whole day, and eventhenonlylost half their wickets. Tunnicliffe (96) andMr.F. S. Jackson (81) put on 175 for the first wicket , and Brown (89), Denton (29), Moorhouse (10), and Wainwright (not out 27), who followed in the order named, all scored freely . The result was a total of 337 with five wickets still in hand. That was theextentof theplay. (2) Warwickshirev. Yorkshire. Birmingham, Aug. 2, 3 and 4. Thoughthey had first use of an excellent wicket the Warwickshire Eleven failed utterly to utilise the opportunity . Diver (53) and Mr. Bainbridge (52) were indeed the only batsmen to make any show against the Yorkshire bowlers . O nthe other hand, Warwickshire's bowling did not offer any terrors to the Yorkshire batsmen. Eight of them got double figures , although , with the exception of Denton's 141 not out , there was no score over 50. Going in a second time Warwickshire were seen to better advantage , though even then they were indebted to Messrs . Glover (93) and Bainbridge (62) for more than one-half of their total . Yorkshire at the finish had104 to win, and, thanks to Brown(54) and Tunnicliffe (36) both of w h o mwere not out, got themfor the loss of a wicket . Yorkshire wonby nine wickets . Yorkshire , 374 and 104 (1 wicket) ; total , 478. Warwickshire, 172 and 305 ; total , 477 . (3) W a r w i c k s h i r ev. Philadelphians. Birmingham, July 8, 9 and 10. A creditable victory for the Philadelphians , and wontoo with the worst ofthe luck. In the first place they had to go in against a fairly big score of 296, and to start the second hands in a minority of 27 runs . Itwasa good performance to go in as they hadfor the fourth innings with 229 to win, and moreover to get themfor the loss of only half their wickets .
