NOTTS WIN 300 JAPANESE KILLED

AGAIN

Voce and Larwood Do Trick..

BOWL UNCHANGED AGAINST LEICESTERSHIRE.

Losers Score 80 and 53.

Londen, Yesterday. At Trent Bridge to-day Notts registered their fifth victory in the County Cham- pionship when they defeated Leicestershire by an innings and 111 runs in an exception- ally low scoring match. In all only 377 runs were scored for the loss of 30 wickets.

The home county batted first and their batsmen were soon in difficulties against the bowling of George Geary, who was keep-

ing a magnificent length and de- riving great help from the pitch. He took the first five wickets which fell very cheaply and only Walker showed confidence when

opposed to him. Walker's deter mination and dogged batting was

largely responsible for Notts passing the double century rank, Walker being undefeated at the

close of the innings with 114 to his credit after going in first.

HORRIBLE SLAUGHTER

BODY SURROUNDED NORTH OF TSITSIHAR,

Harbin, To-day.

A body of Chinese volunteers, who have been harassing the Japanese in North Manchuria during the past months, took a terrible revenge on a detachment of 300 of their Manchukuo compa- triots yesterday, a little north of Tsitsihar.

The Manchukuo detachment was marching northward to engage the anti-Manchukuo troops when suddenly they were surrounded by the volun- teers.

Larwood and Voce again brought about the visitors' downfall and Leicester were dismissed for 58.

A west-bound passenger train was yesterday looted 35 miles west of Harbin.

Voce, who has been select- ed to play for England against All-India at Lord's on Saturday, had the rare distinction of bowling un- changed through both innings of a single match. He took 10 wickets in all for only 35 runs which augurs well for his chances for the Austra- lian tour.

Harold Larwood, the All-Eng- land fast bowler who is standing down for the Test match' on Saturday, returned the excellent figures of 10 wickets at a cost of just under 9 runs apiece.

Notts Now Second.

The Notts victory places the northern county second to Kent in the championship table, but as Yorkshire, Lancashire and Mid- dlesex are all engaged in cham- pionship matches their position is only temporary.

This was Leicestershire's fifth defeat of the season.

Results as cabled by Reuter were as follows.

In spite of a harass- ing wind Sarazen maintain- ed remarkable control throughout, Sarazen's bril liance was, however, eclipsed by Olin Dutra, who played dazzling golf to return a card for 69, which led his nearest rival by four strokes.

The most encouraging news to hand to-day, regarding the twin conferences, is the report from Lausanne that Mr. Ramsay MacDonald and Mr. Herriot, have reached tentative accord on four questions of principle in regard to reparations, after conversations which were carried out in a "useful and friendly way."

President Hoover's disarmament proposals are now embodied in conversations at Geneva, and some of the leading delegates have arranged short visits home for consultations.
