PERRY DENIES AN INTERVIEW
He Did Not Attack Wimbledon
New York, March 28. Speaking on the long distance telephone from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, this afternoon, Perry in- dignantly denied having given an Wimbledon interview, attacking
officials or alleging that he had been treated as "a leper" after be- coming a professional lawn tennis. player.
"I have certainly never said any- thing of the kind," he stated "My friends know me well enough to be quite sure I would never make statements like that."
CALL-OVER
THE Rugby Union team, under the honorary
management of Major B. C. Hartley and the LAST assistant honorary management of Mr. H. A. Haigh Smith, both members of the Rugby Union com- mittee, will leave Southampton on the R.M.S.

This is obviously a powerful team, though it does not represent the full strength of British Rugby, writes Howard Marshall. The selectors cannot be criticised, for many players were unable to spare time for the trip, bat without backs like Cliff Jones, W. Wooller, R. W. Shaw and R. C. S. Dick, among others, there are clearly serious
omissions.
Even so, the side should not do badly, though Rugby football in South Africa is at a very high level just now.
I am particularly glad to see,shoulders to stand up to the that the selectors have managed South African giants. to collect a really heavy lot of Everything will depend on the South forwards.

THUMB-NAIL SKETCHES
"AUSSIE" TEST PLAYERS
A. G. CHIPPERFIELD
To-day we publish the seventh unpublished biographies of the sixteen players selected to repre- sent Australia in the 1938 Cricket Test series against England.
To-day's thumb-nail sketch is that of Sydney Barnes, (New South Wales) who is unfortun- ately on the injured list with a fractured wrist, the result of acrobatics while on board ship.
ARTHUR G. CHIPPERFIELD
(NEW SOUTH WALEST
Chipperfield's claims to all-round rating are that he is a magnificent first slip, a fighting batsman, and a partnership splitter as a slow, leg break bowler.
Originally a member of Warren. Bardsley's club, Western Suburbs, he went for business reasons to New castle. A century for Combined Coun- try against Voce, Bowes, Mitchell, Tate and F. R Brown in February, 1933, reminded the New South Wales selec- tors of his former promise.
He was given a chance in matches against South Australia and Victoria in Sydney prior to the selection of the 1934 Australian EleveIL
He seized it so well that he was the last minute selection for a team which needed all-rounders.
It is history now that in England he missed by one run the coveted distinction of scoring a century. in his first Test
On that tour he averaged 28.57, in the Tests, and made 902 first-class runs at 37.58.
In South Africa, în 1935-36, he scor ed a century in his first Test match. In Australia, last season, his best Test performances were gallant innings on rain affected pitches when noted bats- men were all at sea, but prior to the fifth Test, he was unlucky enough to sustain a fractured jaw from a rising delivery of Farmes in the tourists" sec- ond match against New South Wales.
During the current season Chipper- field has not been a consistent run- getter. Moreover, as a change bowler he has had few opportunities of de- veloping that branch.
