The outstanding players among the newcomers were Mrs. Donald, Whites' centre-forward, and Miss Humphrey, Whites' right-half, both of whom were conspicuous throughout. Mrs. Donald is certainly a very good leader, but whether she is as good as Miss Phyllis Gittins, the Interport leader, remains to be 1 seen.
Both goalkeepers yesterday were weak, although Mrs. Lunson did stop several hard shots from both sets of forwards, 1 having been switched over from Whites to Colours in the second] half. Of the four full-backs on display Miss Gray stood, head and shoulders above the rest, Mrs. Burke being the best of the 3 remaining three, although the was too slow in the second half

England's supporters are full of jubilation, and they have every reason to be. Hammond and Com- pany have struck their very best zorm and at the close of play on Saturday the scoreboard showed- 426 for 4, Hammond being still undefeated, with 231 rams to his credit. Apart from his skill as a bateman, Hammond must have the "most amazing powers of en- durance. He has, at the present
stage, been batting for the best part of two days. As he will be able to rest the whole of Sunday, it is quite possible that he will go on to break Bradman's record of 334.
