Great interest has been taken in the presence in the coal district of Mans aeld, Nottinghamshire, of the shock section" of 20 Manchester policemen, probably the tallest police squad in the

world.

These men, who in Manchester act as point duty officers at Piccadilly, Market street, and other centres, are being used as a flying force, dealing with any amer. gency. Each of them is more than Bft. 3. tall, while the giant, who is eft, shin., claims to be the tallest policeman in the world.

They are moved to secret headquarters ! every day, and are rushed in "motor- coaches from village to village, as their services are required.

CRICKET LEAGUE.

'TWO NEW TEAMS.

(THE SEASON'S "FIXTURES.

(Compiled By a Cricket,

Correspondent.)

The coming Season promises to be one of great interest to local cricketers. The inclusion of the new Regiment, the King's Own Scottish Borderers, in the First Division is most welcome, as there is nothing so stimulating in a competi- tion as the expectation of some very good talent. In sports, the reputation of the K.O.S.B has already been established before their arrival, and it is hoped that they will prove as good in cricket as in the other games they are reputed to be good in. The Narg may have a large selection from the cruisers now on "their Way" here, if these are not called away on ether contingencies. The local Clubs have retained their old hands and tacir progress will certainly be worth watching. There are eleven teams in the First Division.

In the Second Division, the Club de Recreio cater for the first time and in view of the fact that the Portuguese have done well in other games, they should be able to adapt themselves to cricket. The R.A.O.C. have also entered a team and there are ten teams in the Division.

Price on His Head,

I will be remembered by all studenta of Persian politics that Mr. Morgan Shuster, the American Treasurer-General in 1911, had to put a price of £6,000 on his head, but it is improbable that the present American Financial Mission in Persia will set so high a store on him.

At the end of the war he turned up' again on the shores of the Caspian Sea. There he joined with the brigand, Mehedi Shah, against the Persian Government.

THE ENTRIES AND SOME PROSPECTS.

The entries for the V.R.C. Annual Aquatic Sports, which will be held next week, closed yesterday at 6 p., and, while below the average, this is not ex- pected to interfere with the success of the meeting. Most of the local experts have joined, and will no doubt compete against one another with great keenness.

As a result, however, there will be no heats on the days set apart for them, with the exception of Monday when the Breast Stroke, commencing at 5.30 p.m. will be held The following have been set off

In October, 1994, however, he was again in Persia, intriguing, apparently, with the Sheikh of Mohammerah, whose unexpected downfall itself was to come later. But this visit was excusable, for. the Teheran Government, after the un- successful Republican agitation in Persia, had invited him to return.

But he is quite irreconcilable. In Apri 1023, he suddenly presented himself at Kazimain, in Iraq. Thence he departed, without permission, for Suleimaniya, on the N.E. frcntier. At once he began in- triguing with the Kurdish chieftains in Persian Kurdistan, notably Saafar, Sul- tan of Auraman. The Iraq Government did what they could to restrain him, and

so happened that the man he had chosen for his fellow-conspirator was a friend of the High Commissioner. That little coup, therefore, failed.
