THIS STARTED A FIGHT
TOM GODDARD IN GREAT FORM AGAINST SUSSEX
London, May 20-Tom Goddard, Gloucestershire's right arm spin bowler, showed last summer's devastating form against Sussex or the much discussed Bristol wicket today, taking three wickets for 24 during the day to bring his analysis for the first înnings to five for 40.
It was mainly by his efforts that Gloucester gained a first innings lead, and he hnd early success when Sussex went in again after dismissing Gloucester for 225.
With Norman Yardley, probable England captain, out for a duck in his first county Innings of the season, and other batsmen falling, half the Yorkshire side were out for 89 in their first innings against Warwickshire. A determined stand between Watson, who made. 59 not out in two and three-quarter hours, and Coxon, 24, however, paved the way for them to take first innings lend.

AUSTRALIAN CRICKET TOUR
Oxford Need 192 To Save Innings Defeat
Oxford, May 20.-The Australian touring cricketers were well on the road to another victory today when at Oxford they forced the University to follow on and at the close of play Oxford still needed 192 runs to save the innings' defeat, with only six wickets to fall.
Replying to Australia's first innings of 431, Oxford were all out for 185 and had lost four second innings' wickets for 54 when stumps were drawn on the second day.
Kneighley and Kurdar engaged in
a partnership of 75 before Ring went on with the total at 94 and his first
ball dismissed Kneighley, who lifted
a drive to extra cover.

British enthusiasts are specula- ing as to who will be the next Wimbledon champion now that Jack Kramer, the American holder, has turned professional.
It is very hard to pick the new champion with so many excellent players likely to compete, but many consider the chances.. of Eric Sturgess, the South African cham- pion, to be very, bright.
Sturgess has developed a new style of game and since arriving in | England this season has shown he still has all the strokes, has speeded deal and is up his game a great more aggressive. He comes to the het more frequently and his volley- was one of his weak ing, which spots last season. has improved out of all recognition.

Sturgess has not dropped a ret here this season and has certainly made light of all opposition. The British Hard Couris championship BASEBALL
attracted a strong entry, including a number of foreign players, but Sturgess was never extended in winning three titles for the second year In succession.
Sturgess himself thinks his new! style of game will be even better on grass courts than on hard, but the question is whether his speed that of the of game will match Americans Frankie Parker, Gardner Mulloy, Bob Falkenburg. Tom Brown and Budge Patty, who are likely to compete at Wimbledon.
This year Sturgess is likely to be "seeded" high among the eight players at Wimbledon. It was widely felt that Sturgess should have been among the "seeded" players last year, but instead he found himself opposed to Tom Brown in the first round and went out only after a treat Ave nets fight, whille went on to reach the final,
