British White City Wins "Old Guard" Still Good
Wooderson Wipes Out Memory
Of Princeton Debacle
WHILE IN MANY OTHER PARTS of the world » the athletic champion of to-day, is no longer, on the athletic horizon the following year, in Britain, year in and year out," a few stalwarts who won their inter- national colours four and five years ago continue to give to British athletics the prestige that comes of old age and the life that might well make tremble the most seasoned American champion and the most tire- less Flying Finn.
With the defeat in America of Sydney Wooderson, one would logically conclude a decline would set in in British athletics, or perhaps only in middle distance running, which would set back athletics in England for two or three years. Wooderson, American sports-writers were of the unanimous opinion, was stale. failed dismally at Princeton.

FIRST TEST 4
"Black Bradman" Breaks Backs Of Bowlers
Makes History At Lord's But Team Beaten In Fine Game!
GEORGE HEADLEY, the "Black Bradman" made ericket "history in the Test match concluded at Lord's eleven days ago, when he became the first man to hit two separate hundreds in a Test played at the "Mecca" "of the game. He was the only West Indian who really mastered a lively attack, well led by Bill Copson.
There was a terrific burst of cheering when he' reached his second century, and Mr. J. M. Kidney, manager of the touring team, later paid a striking tribute to the" sporting attitude of the English crowd when he said: "When Headley got his century in the "second innings, the applause couldn't have been more generous had he been before his own crowd at home.” Below a special Home correspondent writes on the concluding stages of the game:- LONDON, June 28.-Eag-| land beat the West Indies in: the first Test Match at Lord's yesterday by eight wickets, but with only half an hour to spare. England 'ho doubt were the better side; they 0 held the advantage through- out the game; yet there was a time yesterday when the West Indies fought back so well that it seemed that they 1 were Hkely to deprive Eng- 1 land of sufficient time in
