Full scores as cabled by Reuter ware as follow:-

| Sussex beat Derbyshire by an innings and 14 runs at Brighton.

Scorea:

Derby: 96 (Tate 4 for 41, Wens-

ley 6 for 47); 153 (Wensley 6 for 48).

Sussex: 263.

I. however, have found a critic who can neither write nor play, writes "Londoner" In the Evening Standard. And yet he is a sound・・ judge of the game. He lives in Cambridge and never misses a match. He has been blind since birth.

I sat next to him recently at Fen- ner's, when Cambridge were play- ing Yorkshire., It was quite un- canny, He could tell who was bat- ting and, who was bowling. He knows by sound if a good shot is made, and how hard it is hit. He çan hear a bowler start to take his run, and by the length of the run and the speed with which the ball is' bowled he can tell the bowler's name, Naturally, he can only re- cognise the better-known bowlers.

He always talks of "watching," cricket. He visualises the game in }his mind, and few men have a more

correct vision.

:

At the close of play he was intro- duced to Sutcliffe: "I have watch- jed you play every year when you have come to Fenner's," he said. Then, quite naturally and uneffect edly, he went on too tell the famous batsman the good and bad strokes he had made that day.

And, like myself, Sutcliffe mar velled at the astounding accuracy of this critic who, having no eyes to sec, can yet discern the finer points of the game with so rare a-judg- ment.

The case was started in April leat, and it has now finished without coming into open court, as Judge Peter Grain dismissed the action in Chambers, this morning. He en- tered judgment for the defendants, with costs.

It is reported that the Luna Park Interests now intend to take action against the Municipal Coun ell in the Court of Consuls, although It was stated in April that the case was taken into the Supreme Court because the claimants believed that they would have a better chance of! success against the former in the the British Court than against Municipal Council before the Court of Condula-Reuter.

MARTIN SMITH THE

BORN PUTTER

Work on Greens Wins Championship.

Some are born to be true strikers of the ball, while others like John de Forest have had to work for many weary hours to reform this telling department of their game from a rough into a sound stroke, writes C.B.M. in The Evening News. The new young amateur cham- pion, Eric Martin Smith, is one of the born puttera. The manner in which he rolled. that long last put dead to the hole side on the thirty- sixth green in the final could not have been excelled by any veteran He stands quite naturally to the ball with no elbows sticking out, and he wanted little time after he ,had found the line. He grips the club lightly in the fingers, and I could imagine him feeling the weight.of the ball on the hand...

He has the great merit of never stabbing at the ball, which rolls along the green smoothly and with- out any semblance of jump.

Eric Martin Smith is tall, yet he stoops well down and looks at the ball with the left eye, turning his head slightly away just before he swings the putter. ·

A good driver and a sound player. ¡with the irons it was neverthelss his fine work on the putting greena which won him the title of amateur champlon at his first attempt and prevented John de Forest from gat- ting ahead after the ultimate win ner bad seen a four holes lead dwin- dle to all square at the critical part of the final:

- His high, lofting explosive -shot at the seventh hole was followed by holing the putt, and his cool nerve on the greens showed plainly to all that in putting he had no intention of thinking about taking three pults on even the most difficult greens.
