UNEXPECTED HAPPENING. Received September 3, 11.10 a.m. RUGBY, Sept. 2. Nottinghamshire’s hope of winning the County cricket championship from Lancashire this year has been spoilt by their unexpected defeat by Glamorgan, who won their only match of the season this morning by beating the potential champions by an innings and 81 runs.—British official wireless. OPPORTUNE VICTORY. WILDEST EXCITEMENT. Received September 3, 1.26 p.m. LONDON, Sept. 2. There were scenes of the wildest excitement at Swansea during and after Glamorgan’s dismissal of-Notts. This opportune victory was a great fillip to the Glamorgan Cricket Club, which is in low water financially after a. wretched 6umjner.

Nottingham enthusiasts were intensely disappointed. They greedily bought newspapers, which they flung away in disgust. Arrangements for a civic welcome and jollification were cancelled. It is recalled that Swansea is unlucky, for Notts last year were defeated by two wickets. The Evening News attributes the defeat of Notts to the misfortunes of losing Larwood, through a damaged knee, and the retirement of Carr when his able captaincy was most essential. —Sydney Sun cable.
