SUMMER WAGE AND BONUS SYSTEM UNFAIR
Says TOM FINNEY
Football directors have added another worry to an already heavy burden. In Manchester, delegates to the annual meeting of the Players' Union decided that the time has come to press for a substantial increase in the maximum wage.
The present scale is £14 in the season and £10 in the summer-which works out at £621 a year. The Union believes that this figure should be increased to £1,000. For myself 1 support the claim; but I can see little chance of the now maximum being Incorporated Into the Football faw-book in the near future,

The Test Match ticket rush, for the England-Australia sørles next year, has begun. Last month the tickets were on sale for the First Test, at Trent Bridge, in June. Within two days over a thousand top-priced seats (17s. 6d.) had been sold.
