ENGLISH SOCCER SEASON STARTS ON SATURDAY
By ARCHIE QUICK
Soccer is already stirring so I am starling to sound the prospects of the various clubs... August 19 marks a new record for an early start to a season.

SAFETY FIRST TACTICS
IN THE OVAL
TEST
London, Aug. 14,
Safety-first tactics, which were adopted by the West Indies in order to avoid losing the match and make sure of gaining the "rubber,” provided poor fare for a 30,000-capacity crowd on the second day of the fourth Test at the Oval.
The crowd, which included the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prime Minister, Mr Clement Attlee, and his wife, saw England's hopes rise and subsequently fall, England's big moment arrived shortly before lunch, when the fifth West In- dica fell at 337 runs to Alec Bedser, who thereby claimed his hundredth wicket in Test cricket.
