THE OUTSTANDING FEATURES OF

SILENT LANGUAGE AT

DEAF GAMES

STARTING PISTOL WHICH IS SEEN AND FELT FIFTEEN NATIONS REPRESENTED

London, August 20.

CROWD of 2,000 attended the first day of the fourth International Games for the Deaf at the White City stadium yesterday. The programme extends for a week and includes tennis, football and swimming by teams of 15 nations, including 30 women.

I did not at first realise that there was a difference de- tween this crowd and any other at a sporting contest, but it dawned slowly on me that there was little noise, writes a Home correspondent. I understood then that the crowd, too. was almost entirely deaf. The small noises made by the deaf when their lips more in wordless speech together made a hum as though of talk

The gesticulatory speech of the deaf is almost universal, because it is founded not on words but on pictures. The siga for an Englishman is a hand outlining a bulging midrif. The sign of spiky moustaches for the French, of sloe eyes for the Japanese and of big pipes for the Dutch are equally clear. Such signs as these and not finger-spelling enabled the deaf of different nations to communicate easily after short practice.

Lord Desborough addressed the competitors, and three men at the stand interpreted his speech by signs. When he read a message from the Prince of Wales the interpreters held up his picture to show who was being spoken about.

BAT AND BALL

ONE BALL INNINGS IN FREAK ENCOUNTER ESSEX'S UNIQUE DISTINCTION

(By Tom Mitchell of Derbyshire)

DON'T know whether this cricket season has been exceptional in the matter of outstand- ing performances with bat and ball, but one thing certainly comes home to me. As I sit down to recall the outstanding feats of the season, so many crowd to my mind that I am left in doubt where to begin.

It has certainly been a season of big happenings with surprise twists to games, and individual performances of steri- ing worth. Perhaps the best way to set about the task of re- freshing the memories of readers concerning the outstanding feats with hat and ball, is to split them into three headings what may be called team performances. and then Individual feats by batsmen and bowlers.

The county side for which I play have done one or two things which have given the players more than the ordinary amount of pleasure, and I may be forgiven if I refer to them first- There was our victory against Lancashire at Old Traf- ford, which was specially gratifying because Derbyshire had not won on that ground for 24 years.

Lancashire had four and a
