Unless something sensational occurs in to-day's play, the Second Test match at Manchester between England and the West Indies looks like fizzling out into a tame draw because of the weather.
On St. Andrews Course
St. Andrews, July 5. James Bruen, Ireland's 19-year-old amateur prodigy, was once again the hero of the Open Championship at St. Andrews yesterday. He led the qualifiers with two magnificent rounds of 69.

This effort, which gave him a four; which enabled him to finish on the strokes lead over Henry Cotton and same mark as Cotion-at-143. Lawson Little, has never been done by any other amateur except Bobby Jones who, in 1927, led the qualifiers with a similar aggregate of 138.
