RECONSTRUCTION WILL BE

SLOW PROCESS

(By "The Twelfth Man")

London, September 8. THE plans of the Surrey County Cricket Club to bring the accommodation at the Oval for the shilling spectator, the financial backbone of the game, up to date, have taken definite shape.]

There is every possibility. I gather, that the first steps to | bring the terraces which surround the Oval up-to the boundary of the grass arena will be made this winter. The Oval authori- hes are said to contemplate making a, start in this welcome and ambitious-reconstruction by bringing the terraces at the Vane hall end level with the stands, which are already flush with the turf

HARD FIGHT WITH

MISS BABCOCK

LINESMAN'S MANY ERRORS

SEVERE TEST OF STAMINA

MISS

(By A. Wallis Meyer)

London, September 10. ISS Stammers reached the semi-final of the American women's singles championship, after a perilously close fight with Miss Caroline Babcock The score was 7-5, 3-6, 6-4. It was a hot day and the match was the first on the card when the sun was highest in the heavens. The severest test was imposed on stamina and Miss Stammers deserves the highest praise for weathering the ordeal against an opponent with more physical reserves.

But the English girl was lucky in the tortuous final set, for after leading 4-0 and 5-3 she was within a stroke of being caught and owed one valuable point in the vital tenth game to Miss Babcock's magnanimity. Miss Stammers was serving, and the service linesman had made three gregarious blunders, one of which was so obvious that the umpire made a correction and called "fault", of his own bat.

Then came another uncalled "fault" and off it Miss Babcock

made a return, which Miss Stammers, thinking her service in

| valid, did not attempt to return. Miss Babcock then "threw"

the next point as an act of courtesy to the invader. This con- cession made Miss Stammers deuce and she managed to scramble the next two points for the match.
