FREDDIE BROWN NOT AVAILABLE. FOR INDIA TOUR
London, June 18.
The MCC are busy sounding England's leading cricketers to find out whether they would be able to go to India this winter with the touring team if invited.
One of the major problems is the question of a cap- tain and a manager. Freddie Brown, skipper of England in the present series against South Africa and, as captain of the touring team that went to Australia last winter, n great success, is unable to tour, it is reliably understood.

The Ban On Live Soccer
Broadcasting Is Justifiable Enough
Says IVAN SHARPE
The Popular Front has done its stuff. Limelighters, headliners, axe-grinders and the considerable collection of people who are glad to get something for nothing have taken the stage to blast the broadcast ban.
So let us say a word for the people who put on the show-the clubs, who pay the piper. Characteristic of the criticism is the fact that the football secretaries have been blamed. They had nothing to do with it. Directors decided. And direc- tors are not inexperienced. Irresponsible, insulting people.
The League clubs have not banned commentaries. They have only banned the live broadcast which reduces their gates. By

Paradox And Anomalies In
The Gambling And Racing- World Of Britain
Following close on the issue of the report of the Royal Commission on Gambl ing which rejected a proposal for a State lottery in Britain, the founder and chief of the most popular sweepstake in the world-the Irish Hospitals Trust Sweep- stake was summoned to the Royal Box at Epsom to receive the congratulations of Queen Mary and of other members of the Royal Fantly on winning the richest Derby in history-and this has been followed by another attack on lotteries by the Churches' Committee on Gambling which is in association with the British Council of Churches of which the Archbishop of Canterbury is President,
The paradox is increased by the fact that the winner of the Festival of Britain year Derby was one of Britain's bitterest enemics during "the troubles" in Ireland in the days of Eire's struggle against the Crown when King George Queen Mary's husband, was King.
