seems almost incredible that England is at tempting to save rubber against the South- Africans to-day at the Oval without Herbert Sutcliffe and Headley Verity, the mainstays of Yorkshire, but it is, nevertheless, a fact.

The joke has an extra point, because the batsman who, insisted he was out is himself a fast bow- ler! That is just what followers of England are afraid of-our batsmen again failing before the bowling of Crisp and Bell on the fast Oval wicket!
