Wright & Alec Bedser Recalled
London, Aug. 7.-The Yorkshire all-rounder, Brian Close, the youngest cricketer to appear for England when he played in the third Test match against New Zealand at Manchester recently, has been omitted from the English team for the final Test beginning at the Oval next Saturday,

More Support For Four Day Tests
London, Aug. 7-Following the inability of England or New Zealand to force a win in the first three Tests of the present series, there is a new move ufoot to have the Tests against next year's West Indies team extended to four days each instead of three.
The West Indies, like New Zealand, have not gained a Test victory in Eng- land. They have won on five orensions at home, but since their last tour in Eng- land in 1939 they have made such a considerable advance that it is being suggested that next year's eleven will end England's unbenten home record. But this is not likely to be accomplished in lite three days available for each Test.
