ENCOURAGING REPORT ABOUT CRAGADOUR

TRAINING TO RESUME

London, Yesterday. An encouraging statement by Lawson, the trainer of Cragadour, says that a veterinary examina- tion shows the colt to be suffering from indigestion. It is expected that he will resume strong work on Wednesday. Reuter.

(The "Observer" on Sunday said: Cragadour went badly in a gallop at Manton yesterday and pulled up sore, being possibly a recurrence of last sen- son's splint trouble. The prospect of his competing in the Derby is seriously discounted.]

SECOND DAY OF WHITSUN MEETING

EXCITING FINISHES

Yesterday was the second day of the Whitsun Holiday racing, and incidentally brought to a suc- cessful close the last "extra" meeting of the first half of the 1928-1929 racing season,

As on Saturday, excellent sport was provided. There were several exciting finishes, particularly in the Whitsun Plate and the May Plate events. The former event, which was the principal race of the afternoon, was won by One- Third who scored a fine win from the favourite, Christmas Chimes, catching the Judge's eye by 0 short head.

Dividends were not high as there were no big upsets-fa- vourites or second favourites coming in. The biggest return on the tote was $46 paid on Young Pretender in the second race. The winning ticket in the big sweep for the principal race brought its holder the handsome sum of $2,612.40.

The most successful jockey was Mr. Harriman who secured three first places. Mr. Heard rode two winners, whilst Mr. da Roza, Mr. Newbiggin and Mr. A. B. S. Clarke each had one first.

GOLF

RESULTS OF WHITSUNTIDE MATCHES

Owing to the inability of the Tientsin Rowing Club's, Captain Mr. L. H. Kent, to accompany his men, the sculling event, in which he was to compete against P. Schweizer, has been dropped by mutual agreement, and the issue will be decided by competition in three events, viz; eights, fours and pairs. Any two wins by one Port will decide the honours in favour of that port, and in the event of a dead-heat in any race it will be re- rowed. Very little is lost by the dropping of the seulls event, since from the point of view of the spec- tators it is the least interesting of

the races.

Many things go to making up a champion and all of these things are found in the person of Jean Borotra, right, Jean's forehand grip, left, and his firm background, centre, are of the strongest type used by any player in the game. However, all of these grips would be of no avail if it were not for the keen, steady eyes, below cen tre, which enable him to keep his eye on the ball,
