TOURISTS RECOVER

NORFOLK MATCH WON COUNTY DISMISSED FOR 123 RUNS KERR'S FINE INNINGS (From the Special Correspondent of the United Press Association) (Received 25th June. 9.40 a.m.) NORWICH, 24th June. New Zealand played more like a touring team should against a minor county when the Norfolk match was continued Dunning and Weir bowled well, many runs coming from mis-hits that sped to the boundary on the fast outfield. In this expensive misfortune their fellow sufferers were Roberts and Gallichan. The fielding was keen, runouts resulting from fast throws. Kerr and Hadlee for New Zealand scored at a brisk pace against bowling that yesterday they were seemingly unable to handle. Kerr was brilliant, driving, cutting and gliding the speedy bowlers with never a fault. Lamason was more like the player known in New Zealand. Hadlee and Weir swelled the large leg-before list. Kerr hit eleven fours, including four, in one over. The attendance was about 3000. Roberts damaged a finger in attempting a catch and may not play in the Test.

UNINTERRUPTED SEQUENCE PLAYING AND TRAVELLING EFFECT ON TOURISTS’ BATTING (From Special Correspondent of the United Press Association.) (Received 25th June, 10.30 a.m.) NORWICH, 24th Jtine. A possible explanation for Ne\V Zealand’s batting collapse is sheer physical tiredness after a full day’s fielding in the hot sun on the hard ground at Nottingham, followed by a five-hour night bu 3 ride to Norwich, which was reached nearly at midnight, and then another morning fielding in great heat against Norfolk. The difficulty of arranging a tour both comprehensive arid comfortable is immense. The team faces almost an uninterrupted sequence of playing and travelling, with many tiring night journeys. A free day before the Test will provide welcome relaxation, PROMINENT COLT THREE SUCCESSIVE CENTURIES LONDON, 24th June. Following an unfinished 251 against Derby, the Yorkshire colt Hutton celebrated his twenty-first birthday with an equally fine 153 against Leicester in 260 minutes, his third successive century. Sutcliffe, his mentor, is of the opinion that Hutton will be England’s opening batsman for the next 20 years.
