He is the fourth bowler to perform this feat since the war, and the first English amateur to do so since 1932, when V. Jupp, of Northamptonshire, claimed all ten wickets Hall, the thampton, is not against Kent. The only other Essex bowler to gain the distinction was considered suitable for Robin-

3.-Do Not Experiment With Your Grip
No novico golfer should experiment with his grip, but when your scores testify as to your progress there are a couple of slight changes which you can make in your grip which will enable you to hook or slice at will- You will find an ability to hook or slice on purpose will be convenient for you because you will then be able to play around some of the obstacles which may confront you on the golf course.
Remember, however, that these tips are for the more advanced players. The novice should not experiment until W. J. Edrich and L, he has the fundamentals down pat. He should wait until Gray both go to the he can hit the ball straight consistently before he starts
