Certain sections of the Press may prefer to ancer, but in a fow years time 1938 will be regarded as anons mirabilis, and many of us will recall the great batting feats performed on both sides.

Leonard Hutton Sots Up Many Records
Hutton's great innings of 364 in the Fifth Cricket Test against the Australians at the Oval last month set up the following records:
(a) It is the highest in- nings in Test Cricket;
(b) It is the highest in- nings by a Yorkshireman;
fci It is the longest in- nings in first-class cricket- 13 hours, 20 minutes;
(d) For the first time an opening batsman has batted for 22 days;
(c) Hutton is the only batsman who has shared part- nerships of over 300 and 200 in the same innings of a Test match;
(f) He is the youngest English cricketer to score an innings of 300 runs;
(g) It is the highest in- nings by a professional bats-
man.
