Champions Narrowly Beat Glamorgan; Standing of County Cricket Sides

London, June 24.

Smailes, Yorkbhireb great all rounder who has been conspicuous with both bat and ball in the last few matches, was mainly responsible for hic County's latest triumph.

He took six wickets for 35 in the Welsh team's first knock, and eight for 68 in the second, giving him the splendid analysis of 14 wickets for 105 runs.

Weakened by the absence of thei stalwarts, Barnett and Hammond.
