GLOUCESTER WIN BY 8 RUNS

ESSEX BEATEN DRAMATICALLY

London, June 19. Gloucester and Essex were concerned in one of the most thrilling finishes to a county cricket match of the present season, when, after three days of fluctuating fortunes, Glou- cester won by eight runs.

Led, on the first innings by 54 runs, Gloucester made a glorious rocovery, thanks largely to Walter Hammond, who recaptured sonte of his old-time glory with a brilliant Innings of 164 sot out. The runs were made In # total of 252, and it was by far the most spectacular. display of batting yet seen of the Westelife enclosure.

Although faced with the task of scoring less than 200 runs to win, sex failed against a well directed attack.

TENSLEY EXCITING. The finish was tensely exciting, the Essex spectators cheering every run. When the last wicket fell, still eight short of Glouçde- ter's total, there was a display of great enthusiasm,

O'Comer played a notable part in the establishing of A Rrsi innings lead by Essex, compiling a very fine 102, and remaining unbeaten.

Hammond was the man of the match, and his sparkling exhibition, made just before the second Test, has come at the right time.

Lancashire and Yorkshire both gained decisive wins, the former, being capecjally noteworthy, ob tained as it was against Notte, with Larwood bowling most effec- tively:

AN EPIC GOLF STORY

HOW LAWSON LITTLE WON BRITISH AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

COES ROUND IN TEN UNDER FOURS AGAINST JAMES WALLACE

Prestwick, May 28,

Lawson Little, the 24-year-old American University student, won the British amateur, championship by the record margin of 14 up and 13 to play, after one of the most amazing Buals the game has known,

Not only did he overwhelm James Wallace, the local artisan,

but he accomplished the first round in 66, three strokes batter than the existing course record.

Little needed only 82 strokes, 10 under fours, for the 23 holes played, 21 performance un- equalled in the annals of golf.

"Bobby" Jones himself could not have lived through such a storm. Indeed no player, amateur or professional, would have! stood the ghost of a chance

against Little's phenomenal play. No wonder Wallace, the wonder of the tournament, was smitten hip and thigh.

It was a fiting climax to a week of thrills and sensations, America, represented by Little, once more illustrated her supremacy on big occasions, and carried the trophy across the Atlantle Orean for the fourth time.

Thus Little joined, illustrious compatriots, W. Travis, J. Sweet- zer and R.

London, June 19.

The selectors have made but few changes in the English team to oppose the Australians in the second Test match at Lord's this week, and for the most part they appear to have concentrated their energios on improving the attack.. One of the most prolific bata- men In county cricket this season, the Nawab of Pataudi, has been omitted this time, and T. B. Mitchell, the Derbyshire bowler; has also lost his place.

They are succeeded by R. E. S. Wyatt, who takes over the duties of enptain, and W. E. Bowes, who is to give Kenneth Farnes, the Essex fast bowler, assistance.
