SUCCESS.

At a meeting of the committee of the Rugby Football Union in London, a statement of the fican- cial result of the All Blacks' tour was submitted, showing that the clubs and countries will divide profits amounting to £12,000, the proportions being based upon the amount each club or country paid Into the revenue.

With reference to the invitation to the International Board to send a British touring side to: New Zealand

in 1926-27, it was decided that, as far as the Rugby Union was concerned, they could not held out any hopes of the English clubs participating at so early a date, though in sme subsequent year an earnest effort night be made.

The annual meeting of the Rugby Union was fixed for Friday, June 26.

A LIVE MAN'S BUSINESS.

"It is the business of a live man," said Mr. Eric Liddell, the famous athlete and Olympic Games victor, concerning his mission in London to the Sunday Times," to devote his strength of body, mind, and spirit to the service of Christ among his fellow-men.'

We are "out" for no particu- lar church,' continued Mr. Liddell, We have a message to deliver, and we shall welcome all young men who care to hear it.

In the anuals of cricket the Bat and Ball has a prominent place. It is a quaint little wayside tavern on the other side of the road from the playing field with not another house of any sort within three. miles of it. Richard Nyren, who ran the Hambledon. Club in its early days, was host of the Bat and Ball. Probably that accounts for the "sign" of the tavern and for isolated "Broadnalfpenny" being Ichosen as the first cricket pitch.

DECLINE AND REVIVAL After Lord's came to the front, Broadhalfpenny as a centre of cricket fell out of the picture. (Except for spasmodic All-England vs. Hampshire matches arranged to keep the old tradition alive, the game ceased to be played there.

Now, however, the cradle of cricket has been set rocking once more. A club composed of vil: lagers, descendants of the old Hambledon men has been formed to play on the Broadhalfpenny pitch What is more, they are following tradition by making the Bat and Bali their clubhouse.

English children still play it. Io days by-gone it was a game for grown-ups and in that form used to flourish on Broadhalfpenny Down: Why the down was chosen as a playing field is something of a problem, for it has an isolated position right in the heart of one of the most secluded parts of Hampshire.

It was they who licked cricket into shape by establishing uniformity In its processes. There had been none previously: Cricket was a very old game, which everyone played according to his own notions. Bats were spoonshaped and..wickets consisted of two ap- rights with a crosspiece resting on them. Proper bats and wickets came first into use on "Broadhalf- penny." There, too, many historic matches were played, including the first All-England ons.
