THE SPORTS ROUNDABOUT
BE PREPARED FOR A SHOCK -FREDDIE BROWN MAY BE BACK TO LEAD ENGLAND! Says DAVID JACK
Be prepared for a shock when the Test selectors announce the name of England's skipper to face the Australians. Yorkshire's Len Hut- ton, who did such a great job of work against India, is, of course, on the short list-but Len is no automatic selection.
I happen to know that more than one selector would like Freddy Brown to change his mind about retiring from Test cricket. And I don't think Brown would take a lot of persuading.
The man who led the MCC on ner send-off in his last season, and Hove Albion their last tour of Australia has in top class cricket.

WHY DO THEY CALL ME THE
WORST HEAVYWEIGHT EVER?
Asks DON COCKELL
Boxers always seem to emerge from a Championship fight with some sort of distinction. They are brilliant or lucky: courageous or clever.
But I emerged from my fight with Johnny Williams with 1 distinction unique in the annals of British boxing—as "the worst British heavyweight ever.”

DORIS DAY
EXPLAINS
Doris Day gave a little inter- view at her hotel the other day. It was all about how she was still managing to make good after six years in Hollywood. "Let's face It," said Miss Day, "this picture business doesn't have time to coddle its stars any more. The studios ore getting less and less Inclined to use people who ereale a fuss. So I do as I'm told. If you want to stay on top you have to."
Miss Day is right on both counts. She certainly does us she's told (she will take a lunch pack to the set day; after day it anyone so much as mentions that she may be needed in a hurry) and she certainly is «laying on top.
"Fin one of those girls who need a lot of sleep. When I'm working I get home at six, have supper, rest a while and then go to bed, around D.30. I just don't understand how some people can get to work sleepless."
And when she's not working Miss Day still takes it easy, Sho loves California and gets up at 8 every morning Just to have breakfast outside and enjoy the first sunshine. When I asked her recently whether or not there was any truth in the rumours that she might be heading for Broadway, she said quite directly "No, California here I stay!".
