Babe Ruth has given up his alter- nate love-golf-in order to con- centrate on and conserve' his ener gies for the business of helping to wallop the New York Yankees to. the top of the American League.

"I found out last year 'couldn't combine the two games and be at my best," he said.

"Maybe I'm getting a little old but these ball games are tough enough on the 'lega."

"I need the rest. I can get on these. off days, especially since I have a little touch of water on! the knee now and have to take care of that."

This sounded a bit alarming but the Babe added:

"No, it doesn't amount to much I've had it before."

HAMPSHIRE BOWLERS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WORN WICKET.

The All-India Cricket tourists experienced a dull spell of wen- ther during their matches with the M.C.C. at Lord's and Hampshire at Southampton, and their indifferent displays as a consequence, were quite excusable,

Capt. C. K. Naidu, the Indore all-rounder, however, did not allow the weather to get him down and scored a brilliant undefeated con...... tury at Lord's against such bowlers as Ian Peebles, Jack White, Greville Stevens and Bowes, the Yorkshire fast bowler. It was a grand knock, and he followed it up by dismissing D. R.: Jardine, Greville Stevens, Vallance Jupp and Jack White at a cost of 7 runs.

An unfortunate accident occurred in the Lord's match. Wazir Ali was facing Bowes at the pavilion and shaped wrongly to a de livery from the fast bowler which got up sharply and was hit on the head. Amid tense silence Wazir Ali was taken off the field on a stretcher, but fortunately an x-ray examination revealed no injury to the head, and he will be fit again in a few days,
