One of the things that has become very noticeable about the present MCC tour of Australia is the complete disappearance within the cricket party of any distinction between amateur and professional.

In earlier tours the professionals—or at any rate the juniors among them-- used to address the unpaid as "Mr". Now that is a part of history. Everyone is Christian-named alike, except F. R. Brown, who is addressed as "skipper."

ONE LONG RIOT IN CALCUTTA

SAYS RUSSELL SPURR

Calcutta policemen can at last take a breather. Their armoured' cars are going back to the garages, their rifles and tear-gas guns back in their racks. For the Bengal football season is almost over. The British little knew, when they introduced their national game to India seventy years ago, how the young seed would blossom in tropical ground.

They never realised and nor did the Calcutta police-the enthusiasm that would grow up around the fleet, barefoot football teams in the steamy, hothouse climate of Bengal, or visualised hysterical fans backing up their favourites with bombs and knives:

"The most terrifying experience in the world is playing before a Calcutta crowd," said one Bengali footballer after a visit to Britain. "The British spectators cheer so nicely and are seldom rude. They applaud clever play even when it goes against them. But some of our people look like tigers at feeding time. They are out for blood,"

This is the story of a boxing title that was won by a.punch from a "dead" hand. The title is the British Middleweight championship, and the hand belongs to Randolph Turpin, youngest of the three famous fighting brothers from Leamington.

It was a right-hand punch that knocked out Albert Finch at Harringay and recaptured the title for the Turpin for the Turpin family.
