London, Sept. 12.
More sunshine, more great games at Royal Mid-Surrey yesterday, when the second and third rounds of the News
of The World £1,250 tournament were played.
Of the Ryder Cup nominees, Padgham beat his cap- tain, C. A. Whitcombe, at the 19th--what a game!—Alliss beat Cox, and Perry and Burton both survived.
Looking back over a crowded day's play I suppose the Allins-Cox match was, the best of the lot, though the third round meeting between Padg ham and C. A. Whiteumbe was so filled

of victory in his nostrils he was after Brown like a terrlor, pummel- ling away at the body to prepare A path for his round-arm blows to the jaw.
Brown retaliated with magni. ficent spirit. His efforts to stave off disaster were almost AN magnificent as the Scot's storming attack. But Lynch was right on top and was hitting fast and hard and true.
Another left hook-how well Lynch delivers this match-winning blow-and the title-holder made his sixth acquaintance with the resin.
There was a count of six this time, though owing to the general tumult I doubt if he knew much about it.
Brown then took four more brief tumbles because his legs, simply refused to support him, and the end came with him penned in a corner helpless to defend himself. The referee tore Lynch away from the "kill" and thrust his hand aloft. It was all over,...
