[BI TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION—COMttIOHT.) London,' August 19.
In tho county cricket match Lancashire versus Leicester, Tyldesloy (Lancashire) scored 243 runs.
"Johnny" Tyldesley, the " Worsley Wonder" and popular idol of the "Red Rose" County, Assisted P. 3?. Warner to recover "The Ashes" from Australia in the early days of 130-f. "P.F.W.," who is still in the first flight of English cricketers, considers—and there are others—that when Tyldesley is "going" he is One of the world's brightest stars of the game. He has a happy knaok of gauging the opposition,'and then his art of late cutting and leg gliding; interspersed' by powerful driving from his well-knit frame, causes the outfield to pray for "nignt and. Blucher." Tyldesley's 243 should prove an object-lesson to the younger generation who witnessed this classic display. Tyldesley not only compiles runs, but materially assists to discount them by his Bplendid fielding.
