Only One England Soccer XI Is Worthy Of The Name
SAYS ALAN HOBY
Before the British finally, commit Soccer suicide they should take a prolonged course in psycho-analysis.

WEST INDIANS BEAT GLAMORGAN BY AN INNINGS & 26 RUNS
Cardiff, May 30. The West Indies cricket touring team ex- perienced little difficulty in defeating Glamorgan by an innings and 26 runs on the final day of their match today.
They outplayed the County in all phases of the game, and their attack invariably held the mastery over the batsmen, who were timid in stroke play and did not use their feel to the spin bowlers.
Of these, Ramadhin was the most successful. He disguised his spin action cleverly and always maintained a good length in taking five wickets for 42 runs.
Johnson was the most formid- | two hours for his 44 runs, able of the pace bowlers and which included six boundaries,
he produced something extra when bowling Parkhouse and Hever. Each time the stump sommersaulted several yards.
