SOME NOTABLE FEATS

(By "Not Ont") , Many fine achievements stand to the credit of P. Holmes ,and H. Suteliffe, who as Yorkshire's opening pair of batsmen have established a great record for first-wicket partnerships. Prior tothe present season they had taken part in sixty-four century partnership stands in opening for Yorkshire. The latest performance exceeds their previous best by over 200 runs, while Butcliffe's individual score is easily his highest ou record.. Holmes has made two scores oi> over 300 for Yorkshire, carrying his bat in each case. His highest is 315 not out. ' • 'i

The following are the Holmes-Sutcliffe first-wicket partnerships- which have yielded over 250 runs:—

555.—v. Essex, at Layton, 1932. " 347.—v. Hampshire, at Portsmouth'; 1920.

323.—v. . Lancaßhiie, at Sheffield, 1931.

309.—v. Warwickshire^ at Edgbaston, 1931. • '

■ 290.—v. Middlesex, at Leeds, 1928.' 279.—v. Northants, at Northampton, 1919. • •

274.—v. Somerset,'at.Hull,. 1923. 274.—v. Gloucestershire, at Gloucester, 1927.

272.—v. Leicestershire, at Hull, 1925. 269 (unfinished).—North v. South, at Sheffield, 1927.

268.—v. Essex, at Loyton, 1928. 265 (unfinished). —v. Surrey, at the Oval, 1926.

253.—v. Lancashire, at Sheffield, 1919,

The previous first-wicket record, which is also a record for all wickets in first-class matches was also' to Yorkshire V credit. -J. T. Brown and J. Tunnecliffe, playing against Derbyshire at Chesterfield in 1898, were not separated nntil they had compiled 554 runs, so that Holmes and Suteliffe have broken the record by only one run.
