The hall was crowded when the afternoon session began. Smith Japanese was in play, and carried his over- night break to 330. Then there were several #reat surprises. South
Lindrum failed to score on two visits Baseball Club bye to the table, and the Englishman, by Lexutiful all-round play, made 105 and 297, and broke down less than 100 behind the Australian in trying to get the red into position for a winner. He left an awkward. posi- tion. Lindrum made 253, lost the white, and left the Englishman a double baulk. Smith nearly brought off a wonderful all-round cannon, missing by a fraction of an inch.
Lindrum then began one of the most remarkable exhibitions of billiards that has been seen in Australia. Gradually he worked into position for nursery cannons. He exploited this method of scoring to the limit. Three times before Saturday, September 28.-Kioras The reached 700 he had taken the South China.

In P.G.. Fender's book on the tour, the Surrey captain mentions "Umpire Jones" quite frequently. Fender pays a great tribute to the umpiring of Hele. but adds:-- Elder, who umpired in the first four Tests, gave. I believe, satisfaction! to the Englishmen without being credited with infallibility, but in the fifth Test he was replaced by Jones, and the change did not seem No one, 1 to be for the better. think, will ever be able to fathomp the reason for the running out de- vs. Kioros. cision in favour of Ryder in the

Plays Star Game. Many a man wishes he could play as well as little Miss Lorene Dennis, aged 9, who knocks the elusive pill around the Poplar Bluff, Mo., coarse in 48 for the nine holes. Her golf swing is said by experts to be perfect and her shots fly true right down the fairway.
He gave an exhibition of nursing the balls, which has probably never been excelled in Australia. Indeed, Lindrum himself was obviously dis- concerted at times by the en- thusiastic applause which greeted some of the wonderful shots by himself from which be extricated Japanese positions which seemed hopeless. But it was not only in nursery can- byenons that he excelled. In all round strokes, in the delicacy of touch in some of his losing hazards, in the accuracy of his run through shots, he showed himself to be one of the most accomplished billiard players in the world. Hundred followed hundred When he reached 1,000 there was. a tumultuous scene. Lindrum himself was obviously

Tate and Duckworth
Other references are contained i in Fender's review of the Fifth Test match which England lost. !
Tate and Duckworth had a very confident appeal for l.b.w. answer- ed by Umpire Jones in the negative ¦ in the second over. On the seventh morning, England again started full of life and go, and Tate and Duckworth again appealed to Jones once in cach of Tate's two opening overa, for 1.b.w. but cach time with the same negative result. Tate: had another negative response from Jones for 1.b.w. in which Duckworth had joined whole- heartedly ....
Of "one of the most inexplicable things I have ever seen on à cricket field," Fender says:
Leyland.... threw the wicket down with Ryder apparently a long way out. Umpire Jones again negatived the appeal, however, to the obvious amazement, not only of all the players, but even of many of the crowd, for a dead silence reigned for some seconds, followed by a buzz of conversation. It would seem as if the only possible ex- planation must have been that he was mesmerised by the ball, and failed to move or look to see where Ryder was.

When the enthusiasm had sub- sided, Lindrum started again to score, but, for a considerable period, he played with extra care, having evidently been disconcerted by the prospects of a match record and the warm appreciation of his effort. Then followed equally brilliant play. Every possible means of scoring was exploited, and when the balls worked into position for nursery cannons, he used them as far as the rules permitted. He was still able to run them along the top cushion and back again. When the end of the session arrived he was
