London, Yesterday,
Amazing cricket was wit- nessed at Kettering during a three days' struggle for first innings points. Altogether
927 runs were scored for the loss of only 18 wickets and the match was abandoned as a drawn game when Somer- set required only one run to tle the Northants total. Vallance Jupp, the visiting skipper, played a dashing knock for 163 to enable Northants to compile 464 runs. Faced with this total on an easy wicket Somerset made light of their task and when stumps were drawn at the conclusion of the match. they had failed by only two runs in their fight against the clock.

PREMIER MACDONALD SHOWS SIGNS OF STRAIN OF ARGUMENT,
Lausanne, To-day.
The sudden hardening of the French attitude, the dropping of Sir Walter Layton's plan to abolish the moratorium and annuities, the prospect of a refusal of compromise by both M. Herriot and Herr von Papen, cloud the future of the European debt settlement and reparations plan.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, British Prime Minister, is shouldering the burden of a mediator. He is striving to effect an agreement | between the recalcitrant French and German re- presentatives, and is showing signs of the strain of his labours. Mr. MacDonald is at Lausanne against his doctor's orders.
