SEVEN WICKETS
FOR GODDARD
Lancashire Well Beaten
Making full
use of a wicket which took spin, Goddard carried all before him at Gloucester and was mainly responsible for Glou- cestershire beating Lancashire by 215 runs Lancashire were always fighting a losing battle, and although they did well for a time. their last seven wickets went down. for 70 runs.
In the morning Crapp and Sinfeld Increased Gloucestershire's total by 73 in 50 minutes before the home county declared and set Lancashire the task of scoring 402 in four and a half hours. Sinfeld during the course of his innings completed 1.000 runs and became the fourth player this season to complete the double.
Lancashire lost their first wicket with a single on the board. but for a time Goddard and Binfield falled to make the ball turn quickly enough to trouble the batsmen. Paynter and Place raised the total to 89. büt after luncheon wickets fell at regular intervals, only Iddon racing Goddard with confidence. Iddon batted an hour and a quarter and again showed a splendid defence: Goddard, who took seven wickets for less than 10 runs aplece. re- ceived gallant support in the field. Crapp and Parker making brilliant catches.
KEENER THAN MEN Already more than 50,000 people (this is fact, not filetion) have pald to see the Australian women play cricket in England. These are all cricket lovers who would watch .county cricket if it were good to

They have ability for the game; and

There is now a definite public asking for and demanding wo- men's cricket.
For confirmation of all this why nat consult newspapers of repute and see what they all sald about the final Test match at the Oval, Are they all wrong and is Mr. Ro bins. right?
Not one of us wants to play cric ket with Mr. Robins or against Mr Robins. We believe that worien should play games against womeri We do not say of him that we dis- like his manner or his style at billiards, or the way he minds his own business. He plays his game, as far as we are concerned wher and where he likes. All we ask is that we be allowed to do the same. It is only fair to Mr. Robins to paint
out that he stated that the words attributed to him did not accurately represent his views,
SIR ABE BAILEY
WINS GIMCRACK
Regrets Objection
Sir Ape Balley won the Gimcrack Stakes at York recently with Golden Sovereign.
The race was one of surprises, for the winner, who passed the post almost locked together with the "Aga Khan's Tahir, a 3 to 1 on favourite, and Mr. Ellison's True Mate, was objected to.
The objection was raised by C. Smirke, who rode Tahir, but the stewards fined Nevett, who rode True
Mate, for not keeping straight course and confirmed the placing of the winner, whose price was 6 to 1.
a
As a result of his success Sir Abe Batley will be the guest of honour at the Gimcrack dinner held at York in December.
He expresed regret that one of his horses had been concerned in an objection.
"I
am sorry," he said, "that there was an objection, I have been racing for 51 years in South Africa, and 44 in England, and never objected."
Sir Abe, who recently had a leg amputated and is now recuperat- ing at Shadwell Court, Thetford, hopes to attend the dinner.
"Having a 'leg off make it difficult to make a speech," be said. "Perhaps I shall not be able to speak, but I am anxious to attend."
