THIRD CRICKET TEST DRAWN: ENGLAND WIN RUBBER
Waller Hammond
beat 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 fare 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 Dgo.
The curious thing about the void race was that the touts had reported the overnight arrival of three of the runners. __United ProHS,

A sturdily built girl. Miss More hit with great strength and she com- bined this with a high degree of accuracy. Her service was a speel- ally potent factor, and all the formid- able power of Miss Holman's back- hand was unable to break down the confident sureness of Miss More's all- round game.
The other semi-final was a con- trast of styles. Mits Ereaut 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 Bet Miss Ereaut missed n set point when leading 6-5, and Miss Moore eventually clinched it after sixteen games.
