Two Days: A talk about Cricket of Minor Counties
Henry Grierson

Throughout the cricket season fashionable cricket has its blaze of limelight. First-class County cricket, Test Matches, Gentlemen v. Players, Eton and Harrow... and even a village cricket match is not left out. This evening, for a change, listeners are to hear a talk on the Minor Counties, which produced, after all, leading players like Barnes, Falcon, Titchmarsh, Franklin, and Dr. Morcom (of Cambridge- and Bedfordshire) who holds the world's record for sending a bail flying over seventy yards.

Henry Grierson, who played for Bedfordshire for ten years and skippered the side for several seasons after the war, is to discuss the Minor Cricket Championship which he knows so well-the general constitution of the teams, the method of championship scoring, and so forth. He has been broadcasting since Savoy Hill days and does a lot of cricket and Rugger eye-witness accounts on Midland... and also plays the piano on the air at times and tells his own short stories. He has a golf handicap of four. His hobby is coarse fishing, and having his leg pulled about it.

ROBERT SOETENS (violin)
ERNEST LUSH (pianoforte)
Roussel, like Rimsky-Korsakov, began his career in his country's naval service. At the age of twenty-seven he became a pupil of d'Indy. His Second Sonata was composed in 1925. It is a boldly experimental work, in the same three-movement scheme as the first. The themes themselves are all easily followed ; it is in their treatment that modem devices can be heard.
