He tosses his club's money about like water in an effort to get together the pennant-winning team.

In four years he has spent something like G$750,000 and this is how he managed . He gave Cardinals G$125,000 for Joe Med- wick and Curt Davis; the Phillies G$100,000 for Kirby Higbe and G$90,000 for Dolph Camilli. Louis- ville collected $42,500 for Pee Wee Reese and the latest is G$50,000 to the Cubs for Billy Herman,

AT AGE

OF 20

During the past Aus- tralian cricket season, while

outstanding the batsman was S. G. Barnes, who scored over a thou- sand runs and obtained six centuries, the most brilliant colt was Arthur Morriss, who aggregated 890 runs and averaged 80.9 for 15 innings, writes "Orlooher" in the "Brofer Observer."

Young Morriss, who is a left- hander, made cricket history in his first appearance for New South Wales in a first-class match in Playing against Queensland the Inter-State match last season Morris scored a century in each innings. This is a feat without parallel in first-class cricket.

The feat of scoring a century in first-class cricket in one's first appearance is a rare one, but it has been performed 37 times.

In Wisden we find the name of F. C. de Saram of Ceylon in this select list. He scored 176 in his first appearance for Oxford Uni- to S/Sgt Ford and versity vs. Gloucestershire in 1934 the Strange to say at Oxford. Sgt. Coughian and
