DOUBLE CENTURY FOR KIPPAX
The Australian cricketers were in such a hurry to score runs yesterday, that they made the Sussex attack panicky, and the result was $60 runs being scored in the course of a day's play.
This is easily the fastest rate of scoring yet achieved by the Australian temîn during its cur- rent tour.
The Hove ground dyna by no mcana big enough for the men from "Down Under," who spent the day putting the ball among the spectators gathored on the boundaries.

SENSATIONAL ENGLISH FOOTBALL RESULTS
THE ECLIPSE OF TOTTENHAM
LEEDS CONCEDE TWELVE GOALS IN TWO MATCHES
Shocks galore were laid in store for followers of English league football yesterday, when 18 matches covering. all four divisions were played. Extraordinary reversals of form were not the least feature of the results. Club, rated high among the critics suffered ignominious defeats, some before their own supporters.
For instance, Tottenham, again Swansea fished out a nice little the at White Hart Lane, wero benten surprise packet, going nap against

The Rumjahns have always played exceedingly well together against International players, and one's memory of their létoric encounter with Landry and Rodel, the French, uces, is still fresh.
| What is bound to be a highly entertaining wind up to the after- noon is the encounter between Yamagishi and Nishimura. They will only play one set, but during that porlod local fans will be able to gain a good idea of their
high class play.
All three players were ontha- sinstic regarding their trip to Europe. Fujikura is an ardent admirer of "Bunny" Austin, since they met three times and the Englishman won each time.
