He has a very easy action and brings the ball down from a good height. It is absolutely necessary for him to con- centrate on his length-he can rely on his action for an inch or two of off break every two or three balls, but he must not over tax his strength. As it was, his figures were 6-1-14-3, and that included one more over than he should have bowled. Crary looked excellent but I could not see the finer points as I was um- piring at square leg.

Alfred Perry, of Leatherhead, one of the most dashing and fearless players in golf, has added to his many successes of the season when, for the fourth time in eight years, he won the Surrey open championship-the premier title among the counties-with a score of 142 at Sunningdale, yesterday.

DANAHAR'S QUICK

A crowd of 6,000-many more were shut cut-arrived to compare the two, but it was hardly a fair test. Boon beat a swarthy and ex- ceptionally elusive man from North Africa, Mac Percz, who was dig- qualified in the seventh round, and Danahar beat Douglas Kestrell, of Wales, within a couple of minutes, the fight being stopped after Kestrell had been knocked down twice and was reeling in a semi-conscious state. Boon impressed me more than in

The losers got off to good start but they failed to maintain the pace. Had they been able to do so, they might have annexed the first set, for they were Ivading 5-3, only to be pulled up.

Mrs. Clifford, whose form so far indicates that she will be a favourite for the ladies' singles title, drove securately on both hands, and more than held her own in the exchanges. Wood was very steady throughout.
