COUNTY CRICKET
YORKS PAIR PUT UP 302 FOR 2nd WICKET
London, Aug. 11.-Rain curtailed play in many of the County cricket matches today.
There was no play in the Middlesex-Glamor- gan and Essex-Kent matches, and no play after lunch in three other games.

The Derbyshire captain put Yorkshire in to bat on what seemed a "green" wicket when he won the toss at Scarborough. Rarely has a cricket gamble been so unfor tunate in its result.
Len Hutton fell through a mistimed drive at 45 after an hour's play, but no further wicket fell for two and three-quarter hours.
The two lefthanders, Watson and Wilson, shared in a
below partnership of 302, only 44 runs

Yugoslavia Beats Britain In Soccer Semi-Final
London, Aug. 11.-Yugoslavia qualified to meet Sweden in the final of the Olympic soccer tournament by beating Great Britain by three goals to one in the second semi-final in the Olympic Stadium hero tonight.

Play was not up to the standard of the first semi-final, in which Sweden defeated a grim-battling Danish team, and few expect the Yugoslavs to hold the powerful Swedish team when they meet on Friday.

"Broken Time"
For Soccer
Amateurs
London, Aug. 11.-The Football Association (Eng- land) have decided in cer- tain cases to make "reason- able payments" to amateur footballers in respect of loss of remunerative time through playing football.
This concession is res-> tricted for the present to cases of hardship, where the loss has been proved as a result of taking part in or training for a Football “ Association representative match. Consideration of the extension of the right to make such payments to cover other games has been deferred for two years.
The FA are to consult the other British National Associations on the general question of "broken time." -Heuter.
