Manager Glad He Didn't Get The Big Job

By W. CAPEL KIRBY & DAVID JACK

How many football managers really manage?. We're not asking. That ques- tion comes from a Third Division boss who considors he was LUCKY not to have landed a job with a First Division club when he applied.

Interviewed for the post, he was asked exactly what were his duties with his present club. Back came the answer, "I do everything from picking the team to helping the trainer with injuries, and most of the secretarial work."

Attempts Being Made To Rouse British Lawn Tennis Out Of The Doldrums

London, May 12.

Attempts are being made to rouse Britain's lawn tennis out of the doldrums -especially in men's play,.

The progress of Susan Partridge of Staffordshire and Pat Ward, the Surrey girl, has brightened the horizon för at least a worthy challenge to world consideration in women's tennis in the near future, but the outlook is as dismal and as thwarting as ever in regard to Britain's chance of having a young player to make a similar threat in men's tennis.
