A member of the Sussex commit- tee made a statement to the effect that it was impossible to change side playing as well as Sussex are." and that the position had been put to Tate.

A RECORD

for

It was perhaps unfortunate the Sussex committee that the day this statement was made Lancashire, playing at Hove, made 640 for the loss of eight wickets.

Paynter contributed 322 in 300 minutes, the highest score ever made by a professional player for Lanen- shire. The score is

is second only to the 424 scored by A. C. Maclaren against Somerset

set in 1895.

At the same time, H. H. Moore, the young Hampshire captain, was Warwickshire scoring 316 off the bowling at Bournemouth.

This is the first time in the his- ory of first-class cricket that two balsmoen have hit 300 runs on the same day.

Both Poynter and Moore scored 100 before lunch.

Amar Nath, the Indian Test cric- keter, who, following an incident at Lord's during the Indian tour last year was sent home as a disciplinary measure, has accepted an offer act as professional to Nelson, the Lancashire League Club, next sca-

He will receive £500 and his re- turn passage. Reports state that Amar Nath has been in great form this season for the Maharaja of Pallola's team in India both as સ bateman and a bowler.

TEN WICKETS FOR NO RUNS Stating that they are under no de- lusion as to the class of cricket they play, a member of the Wrotham Park Estate Cricket Club has sent a record of an achievement of out- standing merit to The Times. He writes:

Playing for Wrotham Park Estate Cricket Club against Poller's Bar. U.C.C. on May 15, R, Kettering- ham, the club's fast bowler, took all 10 wickets in an innings for no runs. He hit the stumps eight times, at one period took five wickels with successive balls, and bowled in all 4.4 overs. The total score in the Innings was nine. His fellow-mem- bers have presented him with the ball suitably inscribed.
