Flight-Lieut. Hammond Ready to Oblige

Flight-Lieutenant Hammond besieged by young autograph hunters after the match between Sussex and the R.A.F. at Lewes.

The County team won by 15 runs, the R.A.F. making 112 to which Hammond contributed 63, eight of them boundaries. W. J. Pershke, the Ozford Blue, took for Sussex six wickets for 25, four of them, without a run being scored off him. Flight Lieutenant L. G. Crawley was out Lbav. bowled W. O'Byrne for one.

Pilot-Officer Ames at the finish took two lokets for the R.A.F. for three runs in the last over.
