MISS HARVEY CAUGHT IN HER OWN TRAP AND WAS BEATEN
(By Ulyas Rogers)
London, Oct. 14.
Miss E. Harvey, ex-British Wightman Cup player, and fine sporis-woman, prepared a surprise, quite legitimately, for her opponent at Queen's Club yesterday in the covered court chamt- pionships. She could never have imagined that it would work as

Miss E. Harvey had to play that charged up to the net good and often rising young ex-junior chaimplon, and Cook's resistance was broken, Miss Valerie Srott,

ENGLAND'S OBJECTIONS
The objection in England is that an extension of the time for the Tesis would interfere too greatly with County cricket, but that ob- Jection seems to have no validity now that four days have been de ckled upon. A man playing in n Test now misses two county, gumes, and he would still mis only two games if the Test went on for six days, provided that the dates were properly artunged. Five days, which
now advocated in some quarters in England, should be sumclent to sce almost every game rompleted there, and the fadleations recently have been that this period might be
