MITCHELL-INNES BACK TO FORM Scores 207 For Oxford At Reigate

HILL AND MAYER SHINE AT EDGBASTON

London, To-day. £. Mitchell-Innes, who topped the Oxford University batting averages last season, scor- ed his first century of the current up 207 season when he knocked against Mr. H. D. G. Leveson- Gower's at Beigate to enable

his side to total 359 in the first innings and subsequently to win by nine wickets.

J. H. Dyson also played a pro-|

minent part in the University's

ing champion, to become the first man to win the All-England Championship three years in succes- sion since H. L. Doherty won the title from 1902 to 1906, both years inclusive.

Perry beat Baron Gottfried von Cramm, last year's finalist, in 40 minutes by 6-1, 6-1, 6-01-

Von Cramm was seized with an attack of cramp in the right- leg shortly before the start of the match, and then strained a muscle in his right thigh during his first service in the second game of the match. From then onwards he limped about help- lessly, either sending the ball into the net or hitting out of the court, thus making Fred Perry's task very "easy.

The draft resolution, which will be submitted to the As- sembly at the close of the session, reaffirms the principles of the Covenant, recognises that the League must be studied with a [view to strengthening its authority, invites members to submit, suggestions, and invites the co-ordination committee to recom- mend to the Governments the attitude they shall take on sanc- tions
