SEVENTH TIME. FOR ARSENAL
ANOTHER "LAST CHANCE" FOR DROBNY TO WIN THE WIMBLEDON TITLE
By PETER DITTON
It seems to me that every year since the war we have heard it said: "This is the last chance for Drobny to win the men's title at Wimble- don." And now the same thing is being repeated as the Coronation Wimbledon tournament approaches.
Certainly there are few more popular players in the world than the former Czechoslovakian lee-hockey, star who is now a naturalised Egyptian subject. Twice he has reached the finals of the Men's Singles only to be beaten.

Kent For 91 At Cardiff
London, May 13.
Kent, who have been scoring well recently, met an unexpected setback today in their County Cricket Cham- pionship match with Glamorgan at Cardiff where they were dismissed before lunch for 91 runs.
Godfrey Evans, England's wicketkeeper, scored 48 of Kent's total.
Damage was done by the slow spinners of Glamorgan captain W. Wooller, who took six wickets for 89 runs in 14 overs. Keith Lewis claimed four for 25.
Glamorgan passed Kent's total Lancashire introduced 17-year- for the loss of unly four wickets old all-rounder Peter Marner for and by the close had made 207 the first time for five, Clift scoring 80 and against Wooller being 15 not out.
