Yes, he turned on a delicacy for the onlookers. Sid Barnes, young Petersham batsman, gave Sydney grade cricket fans a thrill in the match against North Sydney when he scored 190 not out-in 172 min- utes, the last ninety coming up in 42 minutes. He hit five sixes, and 25 fours.

But the creme de la creme of his innings was when he scored 40

QUESTIONABLE TRICKS DEPLORED

London, June 26,

Swank and his rider received a tremendous ovation and crowds of people entered the ring immediately after the National Anthem had been played, to examine the jump. A rumour arose that the winning jump was only 7ft. 4in. The jump was measured from every conceivable position by various people, including foreign officers.

Once again it was announced, that the height was 7ft. 8in. But a few minutes later another measurement was made, and this time the jump was declared to be 7ft. 71⁄2in.

Confusion reigned.
