Aussie Wicketkeeper's Injury
The Australian cricketers, troubled by injuries from the start of the tour, suffered another blow almost on the eve of the first Test match. C. W. Walker, one of their wicket-keepers, has a fractured finger and will be out of the game for six weeks.
The injury was revealed on June 8 by the X-ray photographs taken of the little finger of Walker's left hand: which he damaged in the match against Essex at Southend on June 6.
Barnett is generally regarded 08 the Australians' first choice for wicket- keeper, but at the same time the dis- ablement of Walker will be keenly felt.
There is some slight consolation for the tourists in the knowledge that Barnes, who fractured a wrist on the voyage to Britain, is almost recover- ed.

on June 10. at Nottingham. The first of the series of five Tests Matches. against Australia started Hammond, the England captain won the toss and elected to bat. It is rather interesting to note that since the Tests have been played on the Notts ground, Australia have won two, England two, and two have been drawn so this game was in the nature of a "rubber".. It was drawn. Photo shows F. Ward (Australia) bowling. (Copyright: By Air Mail).

Holders Lose When Wind Blows Ball Into Hole
A trick of the wind ended a match and caused the defeat of the holders, Mrs. E. M. Rhodes and Miss Clark, in the Women's Scottish Foursomes tournament at Nairn on June 6.
Their opponents' two-yard putt on the eighteenth green lipped the tin and hung on the edge. ́ ́Mrs. Rhodes was about to putt when a gust of wind toppled the other ball into the hole to give a half and victory to Miss Montgomery and Mrs. Wallace.-- * * *
