WORLD SWIMMING SUPREMACY AT STAKE TO-DAY IN TOKIO

FINAL TEST AT OVAL

seems almost incredible that England is at tempting to save rubber against the South- Africans to-day at the Oval without Herbert Sutcliffe and Headley Verity, the mainstays of Yorkshire, but it is, nevertheless, a fact.

"You're not out." repeated the umpire. "Is that so?" replied the batsman "Well, you watch me.” And to the pavilion he went.

The joke has an extra point, because the batsman who, insisted he was out is himself a fast bow- ler! That is just what followers of England are afraid of-our batsmen again failing before the bowling of Crisp and Bell on the fast Oval wicket!
