The Australian captain was in his brightest mood in scoring his fourth century of the tour, Scoring off almost every ball, he drove and pulled with tremendous power. Morris too, after a slow start, hit out and although Sussex irled four bowlers, they could not conquer the enterprising Australian pair.

The partnership had realised 189 runs when James catch atid ended Morris' long Innings. He had hit 20 fours during his siny of four hours, Bradman followed soon afterwards, losing his leg stump when hitting out. Is 100 took only two hou's and minutes and included 12' fours,

FRED DALY SAYS

Golf Is The Worst Paid Of Pro Sports

By ARCHIE QUICK

Fred Daly, Open Golf Champion, says emphatically that professional golf is the worst paid job among all sports. His argument is that although the Lawtons and Matthews of the football world get only £12 weekly in winter plus a bonus and £8 in summer for attracting thousands on Satur- day afternoons, they are at least certain of a weekly wage whereas their golfing brothers ure not.

NO BUTTERFLY STROKE FOR BRITISH WOMEN SWIMMERS

Judged by present training plans, only one, if any, of our women breast-stroke swimmers will use the butterfly stroke at the Olympic Games at Wembley this summer.
