Bailey, the promising Hants bowler who has been showing splendid form this season claimed 9 wickets for 90 runs, and to him may be attributed the Hamp- shire victory.

PERRY AND BETTY NUTHALL WIN MIXED DOUBLES.
DEFEAT WOOD AND HELEN WILLS
Auteuil, Yesterday.
French hopes of retaining the Davis Cup for yet another year received a big impetus here to day when Rene Lacoste, the second member of the four French "musketeers," made a most suc- cessful comeback to competitive lawn tennis. In the third round of the Men's Singles in the French Championships he beat Sidney Wood, the Ameri- can holder of the Wimbledon title, by scores of 6-0, 6-1, 3-6, 6-8, 7-5. It was a dazzling encounter which Lacoste displayed all his former brilliance Arthur Carr made a declaration in the first two sets. The huge French gallery gave miniscent of the freak declarations vent to their enthusiasm in an unforgettable scene of 1981 when he closed the Notts at the conclusion of the match, cushions, news- took full of advantage of his sur Papers, umbrellas and hats falling like a deluge on prising action and claimed first to the court as a gesture of the crowd's apprecia- innings points, Staples not coming tion of an old time hero's comeback. up to his skipper's expectations.

Rain effected the remaining four Championship matches, all of which were left drawn.
At Leyton the All-India XI ex- perienced yet another drawn game. Amarsingh, who claimed half the wickets for 49 ráns, was responsible for the dismissal of the county alde for the low total of 169. The Indian batsmen then proceeded to establish a big first innings advantage and, thanks to Nazir Ali, who compiled a brilliant 109, the tourists were in a position to declare at 307 for 7, Eesex, however, made a good re- covery, and at the close of play were four runs ahead with nine wickets in hand.
