Pamela Barton Finds Third, Time Lucky
OPPONENT'S KISS ON LAST GREEN
Southport, May 21. "I am so excited that I feel like champagne." said 18-year-old Miss Pamela Barten to-day, after win- ning the British Women's golf championship at Southport.
In the Anal of 38 holes she beat MISS Bridget Newell, aged 24, a barrister and a Justice of the Fence for Derbyshire, by the decisive margin of 7 and 5. She is one of the youngest players who have ever won the title.
The daughter of a London busi- ness man, she is a relative of Bir Sidney Barton, British Minister at Addis Ababa.

EX-MINER WHO 'WON THE MATCH' AGAINST SURREY
TRAINED WITH FOOTBALL TEAM TO GET FIT FOR CRICKET
London, May 17. Derbyshire supporters are saying that William Henry Copson, a 26- year-old ex-miner,
may provide the solution of England's fast tour of bowling problem on the Australis next winter.
He trained with a football team for four months to get at enough to play cricket this season.
It was part of the county cricket officials' "nursing" schedule. begun in the middle of last season, when his outstanding bowling abilities threatened to break down.
His complaint was not organic, the doctors stated. A mysterious muscular weakness affected him so that he tired rapidly in a match.

Because of the wholesale "axe- ing" process which took place from 1919 onwards Britain possesses a
large reserve of such officers, but, unfortunately, the Admiralty does not provide facilities for enabling retired officers to revise their pro- fessional knowledge.

The anti-aircraft brigade was willing to accept him despite this handicap, and he attended a speci-

The position is, therefore, that the Admiralty, which has this zeal- ous officer, does not want him. while the Territorials, who do want him, are not allowed to have him.
In view of the Territorial Army's urgent demand for experienced off- cers, it seems a national misfor- tune that it should be deprived, through Departmental regulations and red tape, of the services of the numerous ex-naval officers who are anxious to serve their country in any capacity.
