It only lemained for Panenka to beat Maier for I he Czechs to become champions, and he did so with a remarkably cool double shuttle-as lie ran up before scoring with a cheeky little The Czechs deserved their victory because of the discipline, organisation, and strong counterattacking which has marked their performances here and, more than anything, to the" goalkeep-ing of the 33-year-old Viktor, whose performance ranked him B7 before being stumped by Shirley Hodges shortly before rain stopped play at tea time. Earlier England's Janet Allen, just a year older than brilliantly dismissed Wendy Hills with a diving catch at midwicket when Miss Hills appeared steeled, at 186 for four yesterday afternoon the Australians progressed inexorably to a declaration at 3.25 pm. The dismissal of Anne Gordon bv Alarv Beckenbauer allowed himself a gesture of imperial displeasure, and within three minutes West Germany had scored. Beer was fouled as he sent Bonhof through a sap on the right, the.

referee wiselv waved play on, and the Czechs' defence stood still Bonhof centre. Mueller volleyed in his fourth goal of the tournament witli the aplomb of his better known namesake. Flohe, on cue, replaced Wimmer for the second half and promptly allowed Svehlik a shot which, swung barely a yard wide. But the Germans needed Flohe's greater control -in attack as they fought to stretch the Czechs at the back. This they certainly did at the slart of the half.

The Germans were workimr the Pilling with the first ball bowled with Yashin and tsann.s.

MIKE DENNESS hit a superb unbeaten. 118 to enable Kent to beat Yorkshire by eight wickets at Scarborough. He struck two sixes and 11 fours and reached his century in 100 minutes. The highlight of Yorkshire's 221 for nine was John Hampshire's dashing and faultless 86 (one six and 11 fours) in 82 minutes. Only Johnson (46) and Lumb (29) gave sound support.

It was the seventh consecutive victory by a home player and the eighth out of 11 tournaments.

Czechoslovakia tended to be more direct in their methods, stump, was unexpected, for Jing- scoring the decisive and-s had its hiteft. move quickly to slop such a shot from Moden. But in the matter of goalkeeping the night belonged to Viktor.

He made save after save and earned the luck he enjoyed on the hour when a shot from Beer hit a post after Ondrus had been winded bv a drive from Bonhof. Shortly after this, as the game reached peak after peak of excitement. Nchoda saw a header beat -Maier once more, only to rebound from a German post. the declaration came single off the last delivery. On a good wicket there was more inclined to launch searching attacks from deep positions and use the long ball, but they were Germany's equals for swift interchanges of position, for superb individual runs with the ball, beating opponents with feints and dummies at, top speed.
