THIRD CRICKET TEST DRAWN: ENGLAND WIN RUBBER
Walter Hattmond brat Bradman's record.
Race Declared Void: No Runners
Derby, Aug. 9.
In the specified three- quarters of an hour before the start there were no declara- tions to run for any of the 15
horses coloured on the card for the Harrington Plate at Derby, which was worth £250 to the winner, £30 to the second, and £20 to the third.
The race had to be declared void for lack of starters, a rare
thing for a handicap, although walk-overs
are frequent in produce races. The day be. fore there were two runners only at Derby for a race which closed for entries three years ago.
The curious thing about the void race was that the touts had reported the overnight arrival of three of the runners.

London, Aug. 7. We T probably finding more potential women Jawn tennis stars than ever. So the Schoolgirls Tennis Competition is being closely watched.,
Having reached the semi-Annls without conceding a set, Miss Joan Holman, favourite for the School- girls' title at Queen's Club, was sur- prisingly

The other semi-final was a con- trast of styles. Miss Erenut was the slower, but was much more accurate in all that she did." On the other hand, Miss Moore did her best to make outright winners. In the first set Miss Ereaut missed act point when lending G-5, and Miss Moore eventually clinched it after sixteen games. Then the
Jersey girl went on to level at one set all, and in a great Oghting effort came up from 1-4 behind to lead 5-4 in the final set, winning at 7-9.
In the final Miss M. Ereaut re- corded decisive 0-1,0-0 win over Miss More. She put up a splendid display of all-round lawn tennis, and quickly adapting herself to the com- paratively unfamiliar wood surface, find her opponent running at her bid- ding. Our Own Correspondent,
