AMAZING COUNTY CRICKET

GOLF CLUB SENSATION

SEQUEL TO LAW SUIT

CLUB EXPELS MEMBER

a

Mr. J. C. McIlwraith, solicitor, of Carlisle-road, Hamil- ton, Lanarkshire, was expelled from the Hamilton Golf Club, at a meeting of the members for conduct which, it was alleged, was unsportsmanlike and ob- noxious to the majority of the members. The decision was carried by 92 votes to 25.

A special meeting was sum- moned on a petition of members who were dissatisfied with the acilon of Mr. Mellwraith in going to court to settle difference between him and the council of the club.

of

The first public intimation this controversy was made when an action by Mr. McIlwraith against the club was called at Hamilton Sheriff Court.

APPEAL TO SHERIFF.

Mr. Mellwraith naked the sheriff to restrain the council of the club from playing off the second and succeeding rounds of the Shanks Cup competition on the grounds that he Mr. Mclwraith), having been a successful-competitor in the first round, had been unreasonably debarred from playing in the second and succeeding rounds.

Sheriff Brown refused to grant the injunction, and the competition was completed.

It was argued by Mr. P. E. Soutter, solicitor and secretary of the club, that the reason why Mr. McIlwraith was not allowed to play was because He had not paid his annual subscription which was due In December, and, according to rule, anyone who had not paid by, Janunty, 1933, was debarred from playing in the competition.

Mr. Mellwraith's solicitor argued that according to the rules of the club, Mr. Mellwraith was entitled to take part in the second and suc- ceeding rounds of the competition, having been allowed to play in the first round.

London, Aug. 8. County cricket batsmen' during the last three days found run-getting as easy as stripping a cherry tree of its fruit. Some extraor- dinary scoring resulted.

FINE RECOVERY.

The upshot of this phenomenal acuring was four games left drawn. Surrey, Kent, Lancashire and Essex garnered first innings points, whilst the maximum fell to Sussex, Gloucca- tar, Leicester and Derby.

Among the several outstanding features of the play was the brilliant recovery by Worcester against. EsHcx, who, after following on 260 TUNK « in arrears, ceally saved the game.

Pataudi helped himself to 231 and was undefeated, and Walters aided with 134.

YORKSHIRE HELD.

Lancashire brought Yorkshire's -auccorsion-of-big-succossca......to .......an abrupt stop by winning on the first in- mings. To this they were indebted to Hopwood and Hawkwood, whose centuries made possible the total of 421 in responss to Yorkshire's 290.

This kind of a race has always been a drawing card. For once the competitors reach the surf it is often anybody's race.

The accond kind of a race in a straight puddling affair over mensured cours. The American A.A.U. sponsors six regular events of this sort for men and women.
