Famous Cricketors To Marry

London, Aug. 18. Two famous Yorkshire cric- keters are to be married--but they will have to wait until the end of the cricket season.

Leonard Hutton, record- breaking England batsman, who scored 364 against Don Bradman's Test team at the Oval last year, will marry Miss Dorothy Dennis, whom he met when he was an unknown player. She is the sister of Frank

Dennis, the former Yorkshire player.

Frank Smailes, who was selected as a bowler to play

in the Third Test last year-- the Test was washed out owing to rain-is to marry Dorothy Stubbs.

Hutton's marriage will take place on September 30, and Smailes on September 21.- United Press.

U. M. OMAR BEATS H. WHITE 21-1: REMEDIOS WINS

ONLY ONE I. R. C. MAN LEFT IN TOURNAMENT

(By "Abe")

U. M. Omar, A. R. Dallah, B. Basto and C. F. Remedios won their way into the semi-finals of the Open Bowls singles championship of the Colony yesterday by winning their quarter-final matches. None of the four games produced the tight fight that had been expected: in fact, in one match, that between Omar and H. White, the former won with ridiculous caso, by 21-1.

Even then, the match promised to be close as both men were drawing well to the jack. The main differ- ence in the game of the two men was that Remedios brought off his best shots at the right time; almost in- variably when Abbas was lying one or two, Remedios would come up to take the shot away. On the other hand, Abbas was not successful when Remedios was having the shot.

"NOISE" PROTESTS ANGER CAMPBELL

Coniston, Aug. 14,

Sir Malcolm Campbell, who ar rived here to-night, fold me that he was angry about the protests from the Lake District against his attempt to break the world's speed record on Coniston Water, writes an English correspondent.
