Five of these begin Only six more County matches remain to be played. tomorrow, and the Championship finally concludes with a match between Hampshire and Sussex, beginning at Southampton on Saturday.

8.-Don't Keep Your Feet Too Wide Apart
Let me caution you not to make the mistake many golfers make of using a stance that is too wide. There Is a definite tendency on the part of novice gollers to place the feet too far apart.
This has the effect of restricting the hip turn in both directions. The best way to measure your stanco is to place your feet apart about a little less than the width of your shoulders for the squaro stance, used for a five fron shot, and make your adjustments and variations from there. Turning the toes of both feet alightly out- ward will also aid you in making an unrestricted turn during the swing.

London, Aug. 30.-Bert Sutcliffe, the New Zealand left-hand batsman, celebrated his team's farewell ap- pearance at Lord's by hitting 110 not out to help them to victory over Middlesex by nine wickets.
It was a notable feat by the tourists to overwhelm the joint County Champion, whom they had never previously beaten. The New Zealanders' other win at Lord's was 18 years ago when they defeated the MCC by an innings and 122 run 4.
