Ilford, Essex. May 31.
T. C. Dodds, the Essex batsman, became the third players
to hit a century off the South Africans when he scored 138 runs here today.
It was mainly due to him that the county were able to gain a seven-run lead on the first innings after the tourists had declared at their overnight total of 312 runs for nine wickets.
When Essex reached 319 runs for seven they, too, declared and in the half hour that remained the South Africans scored 12 runa without loss in their second innings,

First-week visitors to the Sporting Trophies Exhibition in London saw the FA Cup, which was taken to Wembley just in time for presentation to Newcastle United skipper 'Joe Harvey. Visitors to the exhibition in the next six months will have to be content with a picture in the catalogue.
Why? Because the trophy, which probably means more than any of the others to the ordinary man, is staying on Tyneside. Director Stan Seymour says:: "It took a lot of hard work to win that Cup, so why should we oond it back to London for six months?"
