In his college days the Maharajah Jam was known as Ranji, and under that name became a world famous cricketer. Just after his graduation at Cambridge Cam-bridge the late maharajah of Jamnagar Jamna-gar disowned him as his heir and discontinued dis-continued the large allowance the young man had been receiving.

Then the throne to which he had formerly for-merly been heir became vacant and he was placed upon it He now pos sesses a number of magnificent palaces, his strongboxes are overflowing with, money and jewels, and his income is so large that whenever he revisits England Eng-land he leases some one of the country's finest country houses.
