EBELING'S BOWLING AGAINST
DERBYSHIRE
London, July 11.
It is revealed that the throat swabs taken of Alan Kippax and A. Chipperfield, the Australian Test cricketers, show a total absence of diphtheria.
Both players are reported to be improving, and it is expected that they will be fully recovered within a few days.
An extraordinary epidemie off-~~ throat trouble broke out among thei Australiana at the start of the
third Test at Manchester at the
end of last week. In the course ol' the first day's play, Chipperfield, Woodfull and Bradman were all affected and had to leave the field.
Kippax was found to be the chief sufferer, although Chipperfield also developed serious symptons on Monday Inst.
Throat swobs of the whole team were finally taken, while Kippax was sent to hospital and was joined 4 TOOR 102* 8.00 by Chipperfield at the close of the

SPECIAL DESCRIPTION BY H. S. SCRIVENER
Smashing Defeat Of 7-4 Favourites
.
Britain's defeat in the Wightman Cup at Wim- bledon last month was a big sensation. The Chal- lengers took the court's no less than 7-4 favourites, but the English girls failed badly in the singles. Be- low, the two days' play is fully described by Mr. H. S. Scrivener, the tennis correspondent of the Morning Post..
This picture, taken on the cantes couri ai Wimbledon, shows Princess Helena Victoria, presenting the Wightman Cup to Misa Holan Jacobs at the conclusion of the international tengle match between the American and English women's team.
