Just for a time it looked as if Yorkshire might comeperilously near defeat . Warwickshire had the good fortune to win the toss , and, under the circum- stances , their total of 187 for nine wickets was not a bad performance . Little play was possible on the second day, and, indeed, on the completion of Warwickshire's iunings for 218 rain stopped the gameagain . Onthe following morning Yorkshire found run -getting very difficult , so much so that they very nearly hadto follow -en. In a majority of 106 on the first innings Warwickshire declared with their total 50 for five wickets . It was of no use, however, as Brown(47) and Tunnicliffe (35) put on 85 without being separated . Lilley's first innings of 62 was the best score for Warwickshire. Thegamewas drawn. Warwickshire, 218 and 50 (5 wickets , innings declared ) ; total , 268. Yorkshire , 112and 85 (no wicket) ; total , 197. (2) Warwickshirev. Yorkshire. Birmingham, Aug. 1, 2 and 3. Adrawngame, like its predecessor , though this time the scoring was of a different character . Warwickshire, however, again made an excellent show against the strongest all -round County Eleven of the year. Warwickshire took full advantage of first knock. W. G. Quaife was at his best , and with capable assistance , notably from Kinneir (69), was able to carry out his bat for 157. Thoughthey hadto face a big score of 406 the Yorkshiremen played up pluckily . Theybegan none too well , and, in fact , with the one exception of Wainwright (92), the first seven batsmen did little . Lord Hawke came to therescue of his side , as he has so often done. Before he was out he had made 134, and, as Rhodes (36) and Haigh (41) lent valuable assistance , Warwickshire's score was after all passed by 42 runs . Rain interrupted play whenWarwickshire were in a second time, or Yorkshire might possibly have w o n. A sit was, the g a m ewasdrawnwith Warwickshire60 on andsix wickets to fall . Warwickshire, 406 and 102 (5 wickets ) ; total , 508. Yorkshire , 448. B A T T I N GA V E R A G E S . I n n s. T i m e s not out. M o s tin R u n s. a nI n n s. A v e r a g e . W .G.
