RAMADHIN AND VALENTINE PLAY HAVOC WITH ENGLAND'S BATSMEN
London, June 26.
Sonny Ramadhin, 20-year-old clerk, and Alfred Valentino, hero of the Manchester Test who was born three days carlier, played havoc with England's batsmen on the second day of the second Test at Lords here today and gave the West Indies a wonderful chance of recording their first Test victory in this country. They were chiefly responsible for England being dismissed for 151 runs, which left them 175 runs be- hind the West Indies total of 326.
John Goddard did not enforce the follow-on and the West Indies opening batsmen, Rae and Stollmeyer, put on 45 runs without loss before stumps were Seldom has better bowling been drawn, leaving the visitors 220 runs ahead. seen at Lord Ramadhin in particular baffled the batsmen and this the little cricketer, the first East Indian to represent the West Indies, richly deserved his five wickets for 66 runs.
The bowling figures of the two West Indians showed how they dominated the play, for Valentino bowled 28 maidens in 45 overs, taking four wickets.for 48 runs, and Ramadhin sent down 43 overs, of which 27 were maidens.

COLLEGE ATHLETES DO POORLY IN CHAMPIONSHIPS
College Park, Maryland, June 24.
A high degree of heat and high humidity slowed down times in the distance runs at the National Amateur Athletic Union Championships here but did not prevent lanky Dick Attlesey of the University of Southern California from setting a new world record in the 110 Metres High Hurdles.
Attlesey, who went over the high barriers in 13,6 seconds, ran second to Jim Gehrden of Penn State up to the 60-metre mark and then pulled ahead of his rival and hit the tape after picking up another two yards on the wfinal flat.
