LORD DERBY'S CLASSIC DOUBLE
(Special Al-Mail Service)
HYPERION (Lord Derby)... FELICITATION (The Aga Khan)... SCARLET TIGER (Lord Durham)
London, Sept. 19. The obvious so seldom happens, especially at racing, that it was almost surprising that Lord Derby's beautiful colt Hyperion won the St. Leger at Doncaster on Sept. 15 with the greatest of ease by three lengths from Felicitation, who beat Scarlet Tiger, from the same stable as Hyperion, but in different ownership, by a neck for second place. King Salmon. was fourth, and Harinero fifth. Hyperion, trained by Lambton, and ridden per fectly by Weston, started at 6 to 4 against, remarkable odds when his win in the Derby is remembered. Felicitation started at 2 to 1 against and Scarlet Tiger at 100 to 8 against. There is only a limited totalisator at the meeting run by the Tote Investors, Lunited. The price for a place against Hyperion was 9 to 1.

He and King Salmon ran truly to their York form. Young Lover was not suited by the hurd ground, but his turn probably will.come when the ground is softer.

A Popular Victory Hyperion, four white feet, dislocated stiffs, and lack of inches, has won the St. Leger in a canter with the greatest of case. If only every one had known that before the meeting was begun his popular owner, Lord Derby, had had two boxes on the Stands side knocked.

An Easy Ride
Soon after the Straight was reached Sans Peine fell away, unable to main tain the pace, and Hyperion came on alone. Even now it was certain the race was over, for no matter how they tried the other horses in the race could make no impression on him. Weston never had to do more than sit

NO FAMINE IN S. KIANGSI
In Doubt
London Oct. 9..
There still appears to be some doubts concerning the visit of the Australian cricketers to England next year. although it is generally believed that the tour will be un- dertaken.
not
A few weeks ago it was thought that the question was quite settled, but another cable has been sent d Australia by the M.C.C. and the fact that the contents have yet been released for publication at the request of Australia is tak- en to indicate that the final deci- sion regarding the tour will depend upon the attitude of the Austra- lian Board of Control in the light of the M.C.C. message.
►
The message was sent to-day, be- ing in the nature of a reply to
the Australian Board of Control's cable which was sent to England at the conclusion of the Board's meeting in September.
Nothing has been divulged as the Australian Board does not wish publication in England until their members have had an opportunity of seeing the cable.-Reuter,
AGREEMENT AT LAST!.
London, October 10, Text of cables received here to- day revealed that following the re- ceipt of the M.C.C's reply to show that negotiations have been of the friendliest, nature the Australian Board agreed that the leg theory has been practised for years and that they do not open their objec tion, yet if continued the practice would not be to the best interests of the game,
It was hoped that the M.C.C. concurred with this and thus en- able the teams to take the field in the 1934 Tests with that know- ledge.
The M.C.C. replied that they ap- preciated the friendly tone of the cable and that the Australian team may certainly take the field with. the full knowledge and assurance that cricket will be played in the same spirit as in the past with the single desire to promote the best interests of the game in both
countries. Reuter,
There was a very large crowd of visitors, who thronged the stands and the enclosures and the middle of the course. All down the Straight people were lined up several deep on both sides of the course. 'Out in country were thousands more. I do not know how they all got to Doncaster, or how they all got home, if home they ever Igot, but I do know that it took motor- cars in the morning an hour to cover a mile. It is to be feared that the police cannot be congratulated on their Fraffic VINES IS NOW A control, but what does it matter now, that the little horse has won!

many of his supporters-we should never have had this excitement before the race. But we must make amends, for he gave no excitement during the race. Still he gave some of us the thrill that come from watching a great horse win a great race as a great horse should, with no shillying and shillying by the wayside, and no jokes.
