Christmas Questions
SIR,—Presumably the man who sets the Christmas Question§ also supplies the answers, and he should be right. But, I protest, the missing partner to Gunn is not Shrewsbury, but Moore. Thousands, who barely know the name of Shrewsbury, see the names of Gunn and Moore on the blade of their bats. Further, they were not famous opening batsmen, for Gunn always went in No. 3. And the names would always have been Shrewsbury and Gunn, with the greater player, W.G.'s first choice for England C' Give me Arthur "), before his colleague. Before a partnership between the two could begin, the bowlers had a very formidable obstacle to remove—Scotton, or J. A. Dixon, or A. (1, Jones.
Elsewhere some might question the severe intellectual exercise of chess as sport, and under the name of Sir George Thomas choose rather to put badminton, of which he won the championship. Also he was a well-known figure at the old Wimbledon.—Yours faithfully,
Greenaway, Chiddingf old, Surrey.
