LEADERS SAVED BY PERFECT

DEFENCE

London, February 25.

AN enormous crowd of 80,000, who paid £4,600

for admission, saw Manchester City and Ar- senal divide the points in a match vital to both clubs on the Maine-road ground.

The official attendance figures were 77,582, to which have to be added season-ticket holders and guests of the club. The gate is a record for League football in England, the previous best be- ing 76,000 at Chelsea v. Arsenal at Stamford Bridge in 1930. .

The drawing power of the Arsenal is amazing. This is the fifth ground record they have broken this season, and their own League receipts at Highbury are in advance of 12 months ago.

HIS THIRD DEFEAT BY EX-PROFESSIONAL

THREE SETS OVER IN FIFTY MINUTES

EARLIER ROUNDS DESCRIBED

Monte Carlo, February 28,

G. PALMIERI, the Italian ex-professional, with

victories over G. Von Cramm, of Germany, and H. W. Austin, the British holder of the tro- phy, has w

won the Monte Carlo Cup.

In the final before a crowded gallery to-day he neat Austin by 6-1, 6-1, 7-5. Palmieri appears to be Austin's bete noir. They have met three times twice within a week and Palmieri had triumphed each time.

To-day's final was nearly a rout, and was over in 50 minutes. For two sets and seven games that is, until he had match ball at 5-2 in the third set- the stocky little Italian dominated the

court.

Then there was the longest rally of the match, consisting of CANADIAN NET STARS was a desperata bid of Austin's 60 strokes, which Austin won. It FOR WIMBLEDON
