YORKSHIRE   retained  an  interest in the Sunday League title af-
ter easing past Middlesex`s inadequate  total  of  173  with  six
wickets   and  4.1 overs  remaining at Headingley. Middlesex have
not faired well on the sabbath, especially outside  headquarters,
and  can   claim   only one victory in Yorkshire since the league
was conceived.

Jason  Pooley,  with 61 off 68 balls in a  partnership  worth  91
with  Paul  Weekes (53 not out), injected a degree of urgency for
Middle- sex. When Richard  Johnson  yorked anchorman Craig  White
for  41, and He- witt beat Bradley Parker`s defence, a frisson of
doubt arose  for  York- shire, quickly  dispelled by Anthony  Mc-
Grath  (38  not  out) and Richard Blakey (26 not out), who passed
4,000 Sunday runs.
