ERIC MCRUVIE AND DON CURTIS BREAK COURSE RECORD.

London, Yesterday.

Out of a field of 263 only 110 golfers now remain in the com- petition proper for the British Open Golf Championship at Sand- wich.

During the day the couree record of the Prince's Course, Sandwich, was broken

three occasions.

R. E.. Whitcombe was the first to smash the course record when he returned a second round card for 70, but shortly afterwards both Don Curtis, the young Bournemouth player, and Eric McRuvie, the young Scottish and Walker Cup

player, returned cards for 69 after brilliant play.

SOUTH AMERICANS OPEN TOUR IN TRIUMPH

YORKSHIRE AGAIN LOSE POINTS

ALL-INDIA ELEVEN TROUNCE NORTHANTS.

Lancashire, who this season are making strenuous attempts to: regain the County Championship which they lost to Yorkshire last year, received a set-back at Lord's to-day when they were defeated by Middlesex by 111 runs. Paynter, who has been the mainstay of the Red Rose batting, strove pluckily to stave off defeat, but his efforts were unavailing against the bowling of G. O. Allen and Greville Stevens. Lancashire, by their defeat, relinquish their leadership to Kent.

Yorkshire, the pride of the North, also found themselves in difficulties when opposed, to Warwickshire at Hull. In spite of a brilliant undefeated century by Herbert Sutcliffe, the White Rose were forced to concede first innings points. Norman Kilner, the brother of the late Roy Kilner and also a former Yorkshire player, took the opportunity of scoring his first century of the season.

It was refreshing to see a number of Test candidates in good form Sutclife scored 153 pet out; O'Connor 115; John Parks 114; Hammond 59 and 95; Payn 98; George Geary took 5 wickets

for 35 runs and G. O. Allen 4 for 32.
