Cricket At Sheffield - Only 67 Runs Wanted For Victory By Yorkshire - Then Rain Stops Play -- A lone spectator beneath the dramatic score-board at Sheffield yesterday, which shows how near Australia were to defeat. The prospect of the first defeat of the tour and the first beating by a county side since 1912 for the Australians was the outstanding topic in cricket yesterday. Yorkshire, the champion county, with all their second wickets in hand, needed 150 runs to beat the Australians, when play was resumed on a damp wicket at Sheffield yesterday. July 6, 1938.
