say that the omens for first-class Cricket in this Jubilee year of grace are obscure is to do less than justice to the situation. Yet out of dark- ness comes light the only question is when?

In due course the play and progress of our visitors from South Africa will occasion interest enough and to spare. This interest will be coupled with a genuine sense of gratitude that the tour, with its inevitable Test matches, will not necessi- tate a total uprooting of the foundation of the ordinary domestic season.

The farce of the County Championship in 1934, however wel- come to the needy Counties at the bottom of the table by reason of its rich harvest of Test match receipts, is neither interesting nor healthy.

ENDURANCE TEST AGAINST AUSTIN

MISS STAMMERS' TRIUMPH OVER MISS SCRIVEN

MISS DEARMAN'S BOUT OF FLU (By A. Wallis Myers)

London, May 16.

FJ. PERRY has won another lawn tennis championship in the Wilding way - that is, by relying on his athletic training to resist, and ul- timately master, a game more scientific than his

Own.

The holder beat H. W. Austin at Bourne- mouth on Saturday by 0-6,6 4,36,6 2,6—–—–0. The two love sets, one at each end of a final that lasted exactly two hours, were, in the literal sense, zero sets. In neither was the issue really joined; the battle royal was concentrated in the three mid- dle sets.

ና፡፡

In Austin's love set. Perry, deceiving all but the few who had not estimated in advance his unique asset was content, almost listlessly, to let Austin conduct a unilateral attack, conscious that time and a long match were in his favour

In Perry's love set there could

be no climax because Austin, a
