Spectators, Referees And Umpires Are Complaining On Players' Delaying Tactics
Says DEREK JOHN
Britain's Lawn Tennis Association is clamping down on delaying tactics by players. Secretary Mr S, B. Reay said recently that the rule "Play shall be continuouя and without unnecessary delay on the part of the player" had been broken 100 often last season.
Explained Mr Reay: "Spectatory Ive complained that knocking up periods have been too long, of the length of time taken to change ends, of players who foll down and do not get up immediatoly, and of an influx of ‘gumesmanship'.

CHERIF HAMIA SAYS
I Am Number One Contender For World,
Featherweight Title
Paris, Jan. 22.
The manager of Cherif Hamia, European Feather- weight Boxing Champion, has written to the world box authorities, asking that Hamia be officially recognised as the World Featherweight Champion.
The manager, Philippe Filippi, made this move after Hamin had defeated Jean Sneyers of Belgium in Paris last night to take the vacant European title, and before Sandy Saddler's decision to quit the ring had been announced.
In a letter to the Chairman | Humia sald; “I do hope the poor of the American National Boxing boy will not use his sight, That Association, the European Box- would be really too sad." Ing Union and the World Boxing Filippi recalled Commission, that Saddler had not defended

Everyone Has Been Trying To Honour Britain's Returned Heroes
Says ARCHIE QUICK
Four social functions in a week have been the gastro- Romic reward of the returned heroes from the Melbourne Olympics. Everyone has been bending backwards trying athletes, the swimmers, the boxers, and there looms ahead of them much more food and drink being prepared for them by a number of organisations.
The Variety Club of Great Britain started the week with a luncheon at the plush Savoy Hotel. The sporting field, spanned by Stanley Matthews and Lon Harvey to Henry Cotton and Paavo Nurmi, was there en bloc. The caravanserai camped down for 24 hours, and then there was the "Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Year" Party and the consequent awards.
