FOURTH TEST
AUSTRALIAN BATSMEN PILE UP RUNS TO SCORE 569 FOR 8 AT BARBADOS
Bridgetown, Barbados, May 17.
Australia had scored 569 for eight at the close of play on the second day of the Fourth Test against the West Indies here.
The West Indies attack was well and truly collared by Miller and Archer who resumed batting on a placid pitch yesterday morning.
Neither batsman looked in the slightest trouble during the 32 overs that were bowled at them.
Miller took charge when play began, facing Dewdney, and turned his second delivery to square leg for two. From then on the bat was in complete control of the ball, and apart from a gallant altempt by Sobers to take a sprawling catch at cover from the bat of Archer, the two overnight batsmen proceeded to pile up runs to the lane of 99 in 90 minutes before lunch.

Using The 'Masse'
It is surprising how many folk consider that Billiards demands.a greater variety of strokes than snooker, and convince themselves that this is why billiards is the more difficult of the two games.
Whilst having a slight preference for billiards, I must defend the multi-coloured ball game. It involves precisely the same strokes as billiards. A first class billiard player has to use ‘side,' “acrew," ‘stun,' 'swerve' and the Masse,' and the player must also become proficient at these strokes to reach a high standard of snooker.
It is the angles the object- balls make at billards which are

Blackpool's Matthews
Is Still The Greatest Attraction In Soccer
London, May 16.
Don Revie, the Manchester City forward, may have been voted the "footballer of the year" by the Football Writers but Blackpool's right-winger, Stanley Matthews, is the greatest attraction in English football,
That is shown by the fact that though his club finished well down the first division table, they drew bigger crowds away from home than any other club in the coun- try.
And how can this be explained

THE CUP FINAL
Hard Luck, The Ten Men!
Says TOM FINNEY
Since Manchester City lost 3-1 in the Cup Final, a lot of people have been suggesting that the deep Revie Plan is a failure. I think that is nonsense. I believe that next season several teams will be trying to imitate Manchester City's style of having a deep-lying centre-forward.
As for the Cup Final, I think City's style of play was proven right. up to the hilt by that wonderful 20 minutes they gave us just before half time.
以
Unfortunately, ten men couldn't carry on like that against 11 fit men. What
a pity that such a Final as this, which could have reached the heights, should have been marred by the unfortunate accident to Jimmy Meadows, Manchester City's right-back. I am not taking anything away from Newcastle when I say that this was obviously the turning point of the game,
It also poses the question: should substitutes be allowed in the Cup Firmal, as they are in international matches under FIFA rules?
Well, we all know that some times the substitute rule can be a dangerous thing. On the Continent it has not been un- known for n player who is having a bad match to feign injury so that another mate could see if he could play better.
team-
Jimmy Scoular, too, rose to his greatest heights. What a strong half-back Jimmy is. He drove his men on and on, never relaxing his bold on them, or the game. And his passes to Mit- chell were a brilliant example of how a wing-half can switch the tremt of play...
