Fred Price, the Middlesex wicket-keeper, recently caught seven men in Yorkshire's innings at Lords. The achievement is unequalled in first-class cricket—a record.

E. J. "Tiger" Smith (Warwickshire) and Farrimond (Lan- cashire) have each taken seven behind the sticks in an innings, but their seven included stumpings.

It was Price's field day. When he had made his last catch Patsy Hendren patted Price's back all the way to the dressing room, while the wicket-keeper was busily occupied in stuffing the historic ball into his pocket.and.lifting his bat in the drizzle which had set in.

Middlesex played a new medium-paced bowler in this match. He wai N. F. Turner, of the Eton 1933 Xi. Turner bawled in a cap, à Free Forester cap. Despite this he took two wickets.

The race will start at 2.30 p.m. and will terminate when the fourth finisher has been flogged, or at 6.45, whichever is the earlier.

Any competitor who is sul run- ning when the race in stopped, and who has covered four-aths of the distance, will be regarded as finisher if he crosses the finishing line during the five minutes Immo- diately preceding the stopping of
