EXCITING
"NEEDLE"
MATCH AT BRADFORD
London, July 10.
While the drama of the third Test was being enacted at Old Trafford today, excitement, perhaps of loss intensity, attended the "needio" mátch at Bradford between the county champions Middlesex and Yorkshire, the present challengers for the title.

Manchester, July 10.
England at the close of play on the third day of the third Test at Old Trafford scorad 174 for three in their second innings after dismissing the Australians for 221 runs.
BRITAIN OUT OF DAVIS CUP
London, July 10.
Fine bowling by Dick Pollard and Alec Bedser, and the return to Test form of Washbrook and Edrich enabled England to maintain the Initiative gained over Australia yesterday. Australia were unfortunate to lose the services of Sydney Barnes, usually reliable în`a crisis, but it is doubtful if even he could have made much difference to the batting against Pollard and Bedser. For the first time in this serios England had two opening bowlers who gave nothing away and kept the batsmen struggling for runs.

WARMING UP FOR OLYMPIAD
London, July· 10. Drab and chilly old London is warming up the welcome for the world's biggest sporting evant the 14th Olympic Games. Posters went up in airports, railway and under- grounds stations proclaiming "welcome to London", in three languages. A linguist pointed out grammatical errors in the French and Spanish. But it made no difference to the sentiment, which after all was all that counted.
