IAN JOHNSON'S TRIBUTE TO
AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE
London, July 31.
England won the Fourth Test match on the fifth and final day at Old Trafford, Manchester, when they beat Australia by an innings and 170 runs.
They thus retain the Ashes, for even if Australia should win the Oval Test, the overall score in the series would be two all, and as holders, England would retain automatically the mythical trophy.
The day belonged without af doubt to the Surrey spin bow- ler, Jun Laker, whose per- formance can only be described as truly fabulous,

Tuning-up already for the Niagara wave of football which will be launched on England next month is the Master Footballer himself—Stanley Matthewa.
And who can say the old wizard of Blackpool, now 41%-year-old, won't be good enough for England in the coming season-the season which will prove whether English soccer is right back on top, or whether those dazzling victories over Brazil and Germany were just flash-in-the-pan affairs?
