Port Vale Hopes.
Port Vale are very hopeful of winning the Cheshire League again. Harold Wootton, the sec- ond team trainer, is highly pleased with his boys.

Bolton Wanderers did very well at Hull considering that their smashing left wing was disturbed through Wille Cook being away on international duty for Scot- land, Jacky Rimmer, the deputy, scored the first of two goals.
Little but good. Bobby Liddie's quiet but effective work in the Stoke City attack is perhaps not fully appreciated. Bobby is not usually seen as a scorer of goals, but he notched a couple against Aston Villa.

“BODY-LINE" BOWLING
M. C. C. Definition Endorsed
London, Nov. 21.
The County Cricket Advisory“ Committee, and the counties re- presented thereon, have endorsed the definition of the M.C.C. in regard to body-line bowling, and have passed a resolution to the effect that captains would take the strongest possible steps to see that that type of bowling be in future eliminated from the game.
The definition laid down by the M.C.C., referred to above, is as follows: "That the type of bowl- ing regarded as à direct attack-by. the bowler upon the' halaman and therefore unfair consistä in * persistent systematic bowling of fast short-pitched balls at the batsman when standing clear of his wicket."
The Committee has further ruled that Umpires "chosen for Arst and second class County
