SCOTT'S MUSCLES

SOME HOSPITAL EXPERIENCES.

Pill Scott, the English heavy- weight boxer, in the opinion of the secretary of the ·Middlesex, Hospital," one of the finest specimens of manhood is the country" acted recently as a model for the anatomy class at the hospital. He was also the subject of a number of, medical tests. His costume consisted of a pair of boxing shorts Ho, stood on a table in the theatre-like class-room, very: much as a model would pose for arartist. With his body tinned alight mahogany shade, and with the muscles rippling beneath a selin-like skin, he looked as it as It is possible for an athlete to be. A minor edition of Hercules" and. a muscular Apollo" were two of the descriptions applied to Scott by the students.

Armed with a long pointer, the professor indicated the points which he was describing by touch- ing them with his wand as teacher in a geography class in- dicates points on a map..

CONTRAST...

The two central figures were a curiously contrasted couple Scott big and powerful and the professor small and looking very scholarly in his eyeglasses and long white operating gowo. Scott fell into the different poses with perfect self-possession. Oltea he appeared" very much like a figure in a Parthenon Frieze. A grim little touch was provided-by the bones which lay on the tall During desk behind the table. most of the time the lecturer stood clutching one in his left hand seeming to draw some inspimtion from its "feel"

TIENTSIN'S LUCK;

WHERE THE WINNING TICKET WENT.

TIENTSIN, May 22. The winning ticket in the Non- Selling Champion Sweep, Number 4250, was cot won by Wuhu as

And thereby hangs a taol. As is customary the Race Club sent the Wuhu Club a small book.

Mr. F. R. Spofforth, the one-reported by the Race Club, but by time, brilliant fast bowler of five Chinese clerks in the com Australia, has expressed his belief pradore office of Rousieau and Cie,

That only occurred once, but it furnished a clear proof to me that had the toss run evenly we might have finished fur closer together than was the case,

After the two tickets returned to Tientsin a few days before the meetlog, a Chinese called on the Tientsin Race Club office and ask- ed for a ticket. Naturally anxious to get rid of odds and, ends of unsold tickets in several returned books, the Race Club office sold When we won the tons for the one from the Wuhu book. poly time during the tour real WUHU'S LOSS, TIENTSIN'S "GAIN. consistency marked our one -After the drawing was made innings.

THE STRAIN ON BATSMEN..

So I am unable to agree with Mr. Spofforth. In another way I want to approach the subject of our failure to win the rubber.

It was my first trip, but very quickly realised that "playing for keeps" was the policy of the Australians, and some of our batsmen could not accommodate themselves to such a plan. So when we found that the Austra- Hana, winning the toss in Test after Test, adopted this policy often to exhaustion, the strain on our batsmen became very great.

I am certain that our failures came not, as Mr. Spofforth sug- gests, through nerveless batting, but through persistent bad luck in the toss. Consider the heat,

Yesterday morning the Chinese holders of, 4250 turned up at the Race Club office and claimed their money, which was duly paid.

Conjectural topic among race hunters yesterday was the ultim- ate feelings of the Wuhu Club members when they learn that they sent, the winning ticket, worth $52,200, back to Tientsin.

"The professor remarked on certain of my muscles not being well marked, but, of course, these are intentionally covered in fat for protection in the ring.”.

After the demonstration to the students, Scott went through many of the hospital departments and underwent a number of examina tions. His blood pressure, breath- Ing and eye-sight were all tested, and various "reactions" recorded. One of the tests included a sprint round the hospital garden.

Considering what we had to joy, face when we went in during those four matches, Jack Hobbs and I were fortunate to make as many runs as we did. The strain comes alike in the pavilion and in the middle of the field. The finest batsmen in the world, under such circumstances, are bound to treat every ball with an almost abnor. mal respect, and they cannot play their true cricket.
