These Horses Should
Pay Their Way Later This Season
By RICHARD BAERLEIN
come high up on any Mr Jack Joel's Cronus should list of horses likely to pay their way. This grey son of Hyperion looks better than a high-class handicapper, in which type of race his efforts have been concerned so far. He won three of his six races last season-all over eight furlongs--but I thought his best effort was in the Cambridgeshire, in which he carried 8 st. 7 lb. into sixth place-beaten no more than two lengths by the winner.

THE END
By ARCHIE QUICK
The progress of Britain's two lawn tennis Angelas-Angela Buxton of London and Angela Mortimer of Torquay-in the French Championships in Paris recalls to mind the prophecy of Dan Maskell, the National coach. Four years ago at Wimbledon he said to me: "I think we are just beginning, to see the light". He was referring to the long road of non-success along which Britain's lawn tennis players had trodden since the last War.
Maskell, once Wimbledon club coach, now Lawn Tennis Association coach and himself the best of England's professionals, had applied himself for years to a seemingly, hopeless task... Apart from Tony Mottram and Geoff Faish he had na material to work upon. What was more there appeared to be no talent coming alostg But Maskell refused to be depressed even though there was not a Fred Perry or a Dorothy Round in sights
