Walter Hagen was well out of court with his entry—declined because it was too late—for the recent British open golf championship. He cabled his entry three days after entries closed, and 12 hours after the draw for the championship had been made. Still Coing Strongly.
Although ho became 53 years of age last week, George Gunn, that wonderful veteran of Notts, who scored 101 for his county against the New Zealand cricket team last year —his elder brother John also made 101, not out, against the New Zealanders, for Sir Julien Calm’s team—is still playing for Nottinghamshire. He retired from firstclass cricket after the end of thq 1930 season, but his county club recalled him, and it still needs him. George Gunn was out in a curious way in a match with Surrey a few weeks ago. A ball from A. R. Cover, fast howler, got up quickly, hit Gunn on the head, and then wont on to the wicket. Gunn, who had not scored, was stunned, and after ho had been taken into the pavilion it was found that he was suffering from concussion. Ho made a good recovery, though.
