Bad Season For Pigeon Racing
English Test Team Criticised
Not Full Strength Of England: Just A Compromise
(The Third Test match concluded on Tuesday last in a draw, and England, having wou the First and drawn the Second, won the Rubber from the West Indies. The selection of the English team was criticised by many writers. This came from our London correspondent.)
Sporting Tit-Bits
The selecting of the following team to play for England against the West Indies in the Third and last Tesi Match, beginning at the Oval on August 19, is announced:
W. R. Hammond (Gloucestershire) (captain), Hution (Yorkshire), Ker- ton (Nottinghamshire), Compton, D. (Middlesex), Hardsaff (Nottingham- shtre), Nichols (Essex), Wood (York- shire). Wright (Kent), Goddard (Gloucestershire), Perks (Worcester- shire) and Oldfield (Lancashire).
