How often have we heard that applied to some mean action, not neces- sarily committed on the playing field, but in a hundred different walks of life? Just as often have we heard "That's Cricket" applied to some particularly worthy action.

SUTCLIFFE & HAMMOND IN GREAT FORM
London, June 4.
COUNTY CRICKET WAS RESTORED to its rightful porition in English national sporting activities dur- ing the last three days, a full programme of matches being but slightly affected by weather vagarics.
The outstanding achievement was that of Hampshire who beat Yorkshire at Leeds, despite a magnificent fighting innings by Herbert Sutcliffe, who scored 104 out of 170 and was un- defeated.
Hammond was also in irresistible form, hitting out to Gloucester, such an extent as to score 113 out of a total of 259. however, suffered defeat.
There were number of excellent, performances with the bat and ball, V. W. C. Jupp agalu being prominent with his trundling.
