PETER DITTON SAYS
British Soccer Is On The Down-Grade
Is English professional football on the down- grade? There can only be one answer to such a query. The standard of league football in England has never been so low as it is today.
One gets an entirely false view' of football standards if one judges purely by the achievements, of England in the International arena. Here, having regard to all the dim- culties, standards have been well maintained-but by a very limited number of players.
Whereas before the war England could, had occasion demanded, have fielded three or four teams of equal calibre, today the selectors have no enviable task in choosing a representative side with adequate reserven,
The war has hit British football. It is true to say there is not a leam In any one of the four main divi- sions that is not at least, three or four players short of the standards that would have heen necessary in 1030, The old players--and when I say old players I mean men of 35 years and above are sulll among the outstanding exponents of every

It is going to take at least five Inore years to put English soccer back to the dominating position it, held in the pre-war era. In the n.cantime the challenge of the con- tinental countries, none of whom has ever won on English zoll, will became more and more severe.

Contrary to all the rules of how to get ahead in the world, the man who got into a saloon fight was the man who, made the money; the other gave Dempsey money and a helping hand, and missed riches. These are the stories:

American Fight Fans Are Beginning To Dictate
New York.-American boxing fans, much more dis criminating in their tastes than during wartime, are forcing the various champions to prove themselves against the best challengers rather than against`hand-picked opponents. Thus, new middleweight champion Marcel Cerdan will have to fight Ray Robinson if he wishes to retain the respect of the US fans.
