THROAT SWABS
PROVE NEGATIVE
KIPPAX & CHIPPERFIELD MAKE BIG IMPROVEMENT
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 epidemic of throat trouble broke out among the Australians at the start of the
third Test at Manchester at the
end of last week. In the course of 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
erious symptons developed Monday last,

Throat swobs of the whole team were finally taken, while Kippax was sent to hospital and was joined by Chipperfield at the close of the Test match.
