(first two pages are full of impenetrable 1920's cricket jargon, from which I divine that... someone is doing something and someone else is trying to stop them... maybe) well... (sigh) here we go again...

Here's an oddity, Wodehouse uses the word "bazooka" in this book in a context to suggest he's talking about a forearm, while in a book written the previous year (The Swoop) he used bazooka to mean a rough noisy instrument (aka kazoo, I'd assume). What's interesting is that from what I've looked up, he invented the word, though someone else popularized it as a type of musical instrument before the weapon.
