ENGLAND CAPTAIN'S

KEEN ATTACK.
Folkestone, Yesterday. With their county programme completed, the... Australians travelled to Folkestone to meet a representative England eleven.
tened out and forced to spread to each side as it were.
No doubt a really scientific ob server who met Malley, without knowing who he was or even whe then he was a cricketer, would be able to deduce from seeing his finger just what kind of bowler he
was.
"He has done well, and now he has ' got his chance in a Tost tour in England. Yet so far he has not -realised the expectations that were formed then.. Wondering why this was so, I puzzled out what seems to me to be the explanation. Various authorities were greatly taken with him, and kindly gave him advice about developing his. gift. Being a grateful and well- intettioned lad he tried to follow the various methods that they laid down for him. As they varied widely in theft idens he tried to go several ways, at once,, and naturally found it a little bird to get anywhere in particular.".
No one has yet made a scientific study of cricketera' hauds, but the thing has interesting possibilities. Incidentally, if howling can alter the shape of a bowler's finger, may it not affect his fingerprints by obliterating some of the lines? - The tourists fielded and, at the Hard-Working Grimmett. elose of play, had captured half Bowling does not seem to have the wickets for 240 runs.

"SPEAKING HANDS.”
MARKS OF A BOWLER'S BUSINESS.
GRIMMETT AND MAILEY.
"His fingers are all thumbs" ia a proverbial expression applied to a clumsy person. It is hard to see the justice of the saying for, after all, a man's thumbs are the most vorsatile and adaptable of his digits:
In the case of Arthur Mailey, the googly bowler who played in the Australian Test teams which toured England ∙1921 and 1926, and is with the pre- sent team 413 an observer, his fingers are not all thumbs, but one finger of the right hand seems to have tried to emulate a thumb in one respect.
This finger is very markedly thicker than the other fingers (as apart from the thumba) of either hand. It has broadened and flat- tened out till it is over a quarter of an inch wider than the cor responding anger of the other hand.
This is the finger with which Malley gets his spin as a googly bowler. As a result of continual contact with the ball in achieving. this spin, the finger has not only
been roughened, but has been Nat-
None of the other bowlers car- ries with him such an obvious trademark as Mailey. And though not one of them has been bowling nearly as long as Grimmett, their hands do not show the effects as his do. Still they have not had such a spin as he has.
Hornibrook has excellent hands
for a bowler, strong and supple. With his six wickets for five against Essex,, described by an English newspaper' as a painful extraction of the stumps by the Brisbane dentist, he suggested that, he may yet justify the hopes of those who have thought-that he might prove one of the world's greatest bowlers,
The Case of Hornibrook, One of these is Edgar Mayne. now on a visit to England, Mayne was musing the other day on the wonderful career that he foresaw for Hornibrook when the young Queenslander flashed into pro- minence about ten years ago.
"I thought to myself that he looked like being perhaps the greatest bowler that Australia had ever produced," said Edgar,
As to batemon, they do not seem to carry any special trademarks. Bradman's hands would probably yield very interesting results if studied by an expert, but to R casual observer they look very much like other hands-Sydney
WATER POLO.
CHINESE ATHLETIC DEFEATED
---BY V.R.C.
Last night's water polo game at the V.R.C. bath was between the V.R.C. and the Chinese Athletic. The game was a thrilling one, and the Chinese went all out, to score. They held the strong V.R.C. com- bination until right up to a few minutes before the end, when they loosened their cordon.
The V.A.C. was thus able to send the ball twice into the net, and left the bath winner by 2 goals to nil.
The teams were:
V.R.C.-Gitting, Laing, Soares, Stewart, Roza Pereira, Remedios, Knight.
Chinese Athletic.-Shui Tim-lim, Kam-chuen, Choi Chat-lam, Tam Fung Kwok-wah, Chan Sze-lok, Ng
