SOCCER MEN, TOO. Simultaneously the wholesale poaching of promising talent from South Africa English clubs-more than half a dozen youngsters have been taken this year-has aroused much con- the Dominion. L. S. Brown, the South African test cricketer has been signed on to play cricket for Huddersfield. J. W. Cochrane, a South African, is to play soccer for Plymouth, W. Gibbs, another Springbok for Chelsea and so the instances might be multiplied.
In Lawn tennis English Davis Cup teams also have been built up from Overseas: Col. A. R. F. King scote born in India; P. M. Davson, born in Demarara, J. D. P.

Cricket has for a long time been bad spot. The England side, in the last Australian test matches included Pataudi, the Indian, and H.M.S. Phoenix: Leech; Barrett, G. A. Allen, born in Australia..
