LONDON, September 3. (Received September 4, at 10 a.m.) In the course of a great innings at Folkestone, Hammond became the first batsman of the 1933 season to exceed 3,000, ■which is also his own highest aggregate, a testimony to the remarkably fine season, abounding in fast wickets and outfields. Fourteen others have already exceeded 2,000 runs.
