When the second round started, the British champion was limping but the American, full of fight, jumped right in, and bit his opponent's left ear. Shetland ap nealed, and the referee ordered Sparkey to detach himself.
Shetland landed a left and right in quick succession, which shook up the American. He recovered himself gamely, and brought off a brilliant panch with his right foot to Shetland's chest.

He got Bill groggy, but, for tunately, when things looked black for him, his second, with great presence of mind, brought a bucket down hard on the back of the Eng- lishman's head.
The fight would have ended then, for the Englishman went down, and seemed out. Unfortunately however, Sparkey, losing his head, jumped on Shetland's face, and, amid a tremendous clamour, the referee awarded the fight to the Englishman on a technical foul:

There is a strong argument for an increase to the English profes sionals in the fact that the Aus tralians chosen to play in Test cricket in Australia received £30 and all expenses; even the smallest items are reimbursed. They would be quite content with that, and would pay their expenses from it.

queue to eke out their brief exis tence in his company in the Wim- bledon championships.
Every autumn men say that the sun of Tilden's tennis is setting; every summer it rises, again re- splendently. Then these same 'men wonder again-whether Tilden can be beaten this year as he was lost. It is a tribute to his personality as much as to his tennis that not even hia critics are content to leave bim

A Dress Anthem.
Of course, a lot of propaganda work must be done before we con- vince people of the sinfulness of wearing hard hats and unhygienic clothes. It might be a good idea for the Men's Dress Reform League and the members of the Royal Sanitary Institute to hold a com- bined parade in bathing costumes in the main streets, singing appro-. priate songs. For example.

But why think of "shelving" yet? The 1930 Tilden, by general agreement, is a stronger force in court than the 1929 edition.
