Middlesex Improved their posi tion by defeating Warwickshire by 121 runs. L'A. R. Peebles, the All-England player. took 11 wickets for 95 runs in the match, and G. C. Newman, - a promising amateur, contributed a valuable century to the Middlesex 'total.

Northants found Larwood in fine feitle at Northampton. The young fast bowler followed up a not out century by taking 6 wicketa for 98 runs out of a total of 137. Sam Staples bowled with splendid effect in the second innings capturing 7 wickets for 96 runs.

Yorkshire were unable to force win against Sussex, three wickets being intact and 105 runs required for a Sussex victory at the close of piny. The feature of the game was a splendid batting display by Sutcliffe, who scored

·173. J. Parka' replied with a cen- tury for Sussex, but Verity prov- ed too good for the remaining batsmen.

A splendid opening partnership between Hobbs and Sandham Jald the foundations for a big Surrey total. With only half the side out and 453 runs on the board Percy Fender applied the closure. Leicester found the fast-slow. combination of Allom and Gregory too much for them and were dismissed for 125. The follow on was not en forced and 145 runs were added to the Surrey total for the loss of only one wicket! Set 474 runs in the fourth Innings Leicester total led but 208..

Worcester were not ableto force Hampshire to follow on after scoring 410 and the game was left drawn, Worcester taking the major points.

WATER POĽO.

V.R.C.'S RUNAWAY VICTORY.

The V.R.C. had Д complete "cake-walk" in the water polo match against the Chinese Bath- ing Club last night. The Chinese never had a look in and the game, was so one-sided as to be almost devoid of interest.

V.R.C. were eight goals up at the interval, and proceeded to do as they liked afterward, the end coming with them winning by 14 goals to one.

Next Night Fete. It is fairly certain that His Ex- collency the Governor (Sir William Peel) will attend the V.R.C. night fete on September 6, when the first batch..of Colony championships will be decided. Sir William is patron of the Club, and this will be his first attend- ance at a night fete since his ar rival.

Entries for the events on that night close with the Secretary (Mr. James Stewart) to-morrow at G p.m..

J.C. White, the. Somerset skipper, who yesterday captured 5 Derbyshire: wickets for 69 runs, and was largely responsible for his 'county's success.

Flood lights are situated at the tees, around the greens, and at strategic intervals on both sides of the fairways, and permit the players to follow the ball, which is coated with phosphorescent paint. with a fair degree of accuracy, and the caddies are equipped with flashlights to aid them in search- ing in the rough.

In the case of Italy it was also stated that the application for entry was accompanied by a con dition that the contest should take place under rules different from those issued in January.

Since the refusal of the entries both France. and Italy have sug- geated that if the British clah persists in its attitude. Italy might be allowed to organise, next year's contest.
