LADY BARRACKER SAW THIRD TEST MATCH
LONDON, Aug. 22.
Although she has been barred from the Oval, London, as a nuisance, England's "Lady Barracker No. 1 saw the last Test against the West Indies there.
She got a seat in a window overlooking the ground, where she was able to roar her advice and criticism in comfort.
"Yorkshire Annie", as she is called, is a staunch York- chiro supporter familiar on many an English ground. She is middle-aged, with a robust voice of great carrying power.
She was first barred from the Oval during a Surrey-York- shiro match, but this doesn't worry her as long as a window overlooking the ground is available.--United Press.

Bath, Aug. 18. Miss Dorothy Paget's 15.. 000-guineas colt, Colonel Payne, won E122 at Bath to score the first victory of his career at four years old.
He was favourite at 5-4. and was ridden by champion Gordon Richards, whose fee will make a big hole in the stakes. Apart from the second horse, Mineola, none of the five horses Colonel Payne beat would fetch more than 50 guineas at auction. It was in 1936 that Miss Paget paid the huge figure of 15,000 guineas for the colt by Fairway-Golden Hair.
