In the recent Scottish amateur championship at Muirfield, Watson acquired

a certain amount of notoriety as a result of his very deliberate and dilatory style, which led to one of his matches taking 3h. 10m. to complete, but in this "slow motion" business, he found a sedulous rival in the qualifying rounds in the Portobello amateur, who arrived at the first teo armed with a deck chair and a couple of After he had teed up caddies!

on, and As the game went Watson proceeded to address the ball leisurely, at the tee, on the fair way, and on the greena, Brown made himself comfortable in his deck chair; 65 minutes had elapsed when the fifth green was reached. By this time the referee had packed up, and the gallery, obviously weary of this display of frivolity on Watson's part, had faded away to a mere handful of spectators. The rain of Brown's

had made the canvas deck chair so uncomfortable that he was obliged at this point to dia- card it

The round was at length com- pleted by the dilatory pair in 31⁄2: hours, this entirely upsetting the tournament time-table. Watson finished with a card of 82 and Brown with one of 77.-"Christian Selenee Monitor."

Older Than Cricket These miniature games have been devised for the sea-smoothed play- rounding fields, and are likely to win a still wider vogue. Stool ball, the Jahoriginal cricket, is a revival, and it has caught on wonderfully well in Sussex, where every other village has its team of experts and league competitions have actually been es- tablished.

The "Kom Tong" Challenge Cup thus goes to Kwan Man-ching, who is also champion of the South China Athletic Association this year and played for his home team in the recent League,

stool-ball can be played on any ordinary feld or vacant piece of ground, and I hope it will spread to London and other parts of the country, So many village greens were ploughed up and turned into allotments during the war that the accommodation for village cricket is not what it was in the old days when everybody remembered that (in G. D. Martineau's words)-- It was just a village green Mothered and made the game. Moreover, agricultural workers have less time for sport than they had in pre-war days, and stool-ball matches, which are over in two hours, instead of monopolising a whole afternoon, are more suitable to the new conditions of to-day,

Fadder tennis is another minia ture game which is played. The court is just one-fourth the area of that required for ordinary lawn tennis, and the equipment, consists of four.bats, net, balls, and tape for, marking out lines.

Finally, there is Bag Rugger, in which the players have their legs enclosed in sacks (as for a Back race), and disport themselves in an arena from 30 to 40 yarda square. Whoever invented it has added to the nation's gaiety.

I being a veteran, am slowly recovering from a strenuous match on the sands in a "field" marked out by four oars for corner: flag- posta. It was a comical sight to see a famous wing three-quarter making for the line in a series of gigantic hopa, and he seemed to weigh a ton when I tackled him.
