Miss Barton, who in the second round produced golf of the highest quality, thus became the second person to hold both the American and British titles at the same time. The only other time this. feat has been accomplished was by Miss Dorothy Campbell.

EFFECT OF PRESS CRITICISMS

(By Mr. J. C. Davis, Australia's leading

Cricket authority) ..

Sydney, October 3.

ENGLISH cricketers seem to be perturbed be cause the bowling of the M.C.C. team is not

as great as they believe it ought to be. It is said that there is no S. F. Barnes, no F. R. Foster: Well, you may search the archives relating to the Tests, over sixty years, and find no other wonder Barnes, no other frisky Foster as we saw the pair in Australia. There is no George Lohmann either.

But all things are relative. Has Australia a bowling array as dangerous as Spofforth, Boyle, Garrett, Palmer and Giffen were in 1882? Or one equal to Turner and Ferris in their won- der days? Or is there one so great as Hugh Trumble and M. A. Noble were? In his prime Noble was's rare bowler on the fast true wickets of Australia, if not so good on the slower English ones. Here again the reply is an emphatic “No.”

The fast turf may develop one in that way. Australia is not well off, numerically, in high-class seasoned bowlers. The South African tour, in which she gathered in the Test honours in a shoal, has not led the rank and file of Australian cricketers to adopt the South African belief that the attack is the "finest ever."

Australian faster wickets are much more difficult for the spin bowler than those of South Africa. The spin of the ball in Africa will not be the spin of the ball in Australia Again South African batting is not
