Bowes bowled better against the Australians than any other Englishman this season, in the match that flickered out in a draw when the odds were on Yorkshire winning.

Great Honour For Wally Hammond
London, July 19. Earl Baldwin, president of the Marylebone Cricket Club has written to W. R. Ham- mond intimating that he is proposing him for election as a member of the M.C.C.
The newspapers point out that it is a graceful tribute to the England Test captain. Membership of the club usual- ly is difficult to obtain, some members having had to wait 40 years before election.
