BAD MOTORING NEWS.

Bonus Payments to Be Curtailed.

No bonus payments will be made to racing motor cyclists next year for Brooklands events and re- Hability trials.

An official statement to this effect will be made shortly.

In the past Brooklands riders have received from petrol, ofl, and accessory manufacturers, as much as £100 for a single win.

A win in an important road race results in the entrant of the vic- torious machine receiving some- thing like £4,000. -----

Some riders also receive "rotain- ing" fees, which, In the case of a well-known rider, amount to 21,000 a year.

In 1931 these payments will be made only for the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy races and a selected number of Continental road races,

No payments, will be made for attempts on rosords, with the ex- reption at the hour record and the World's fastest record, now held: by Britain.ht

"Twickenham Calling" Rugby. is the latest book on Rugby to be published. The author is Captain H. 3. T. Wakelam, known to thousands as the B.B.C. commentator on Rugby · matches. The volume is intended to serve two purposes; to explain the objects and tactics of the game clearly and simply to those who go to watch Rugby; and to give prac- tical instruction to young, players.

In most books on the game the authors have taken it for granted that the readers possess a thorough knowledge of the rules. Not so Captain Wakelam. He has gone to great pains to explain the why and the wherefore in regard to the many infringements which so often puzzle the spectator who has never played the game. One of the mos interesting chapters Is on tactica and strategy, with some explana- tions of the referee's whistle.

The book, which is published by G. Bell & Sona (Ltd.), York House, Portugal Street, London, W.C.2, at It is an open secreta, contains diagrams and photo-
