Urged by the crowd, who repeatedly called "Stop it," the referee crowned Henneberry, * * SYDNEY professional golfer, Norman
von Nida, returned to Australia recently by the Mariposa from the United States, when he told inter- viewers that:-
He had not gone on to England to play in the British Open because he thought that it would have been a waste of time and money, and that, anyhow, he was homesick.
That he would probably visit the States again, but on the next occasion he would take his wife along, too.
That he finished 35th in the United States Open with a score of 306, as against the winner's 284.
That when he played behind Gul- dahl thousands of onlookers followed the American, with the result that he (von Nida) often had to wait a quar- ter of an hour between shots.
That Jim Ferrier, Australian Open and Amateur champion, would hold his own with the best American play-
ers.
That the leading Australian courses are a stroke harder than those he saw in the States.
That he is a stroke a round better player as the result of his trip.
That he has secured a new type of putter which he hopes will solve all his green troubles.
That Australians have no conception of the esteem in which Joe Kirkwood is held by Americans; everywhere he is regarded as a great sportsman, and that he personally was indebted to him for all that he had done for him.
That he had nothing but praise for American players and officials, who did everything possible to make a visitor feel at ease.
That having closely studied the stroke-making, methods of the best American players, he was satisfied that his own game was on a sound basis..

AN unusual state of affairs existed the English county cricket world recently-Middlesex were play- ing Northamptonshire at The Oval.
Owing to the fact that the Eton-. Harrow match was arranged for Lord's on July 14 and 15, Middlesex were unable to get in the start of their match with Northamptonshire to-day on their own ground, so they came to who an arrangement with: Surrey, happen to be playing away from home. There is an amusing sidelight to the situation, -as the rivalry between Lord's and The Oval is deadly. It does not necessarily extend to the executives, but it is strongly in evid- ence among the supporters of the two grounds,
There are many Lord's adherents who would not think of "lowering" themselves to cross the Thames to grace The Oval with their presence. On the other hand, hardy Ovalites absolutely refuse to go to Lord's, which they regard as the headquarters of the old school tie land" snobberÿ? Even Test matches with Australia do not persuade the two "schoola" to come down off their respective peder- tals,
