BOOK ON FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF SOCCER
(By Frank M. Carruthers)
London, September 6. IN the many activities which they have recently
undertaken the Football Association seem to have acquired a new and inspired outlook. It is as if they have suddenly realised their importance and responsibility as the rulers of the biggest game in the world and of the work they may do for the national good.
We saw this when they took the lead in bringing together 29 of the governing bodies of sport in order that a substantial contribution might be made to the King's Jubilee Trust Fund. It is hoped that this may amount to as much as £20,000.
Previously there had been the launching of the coaching scheme for schoolboys, which ought to have most beneficial results, and then in furtherance of this the summer school for the coaches and trainers-

BENNY LYNCH'S

AMERICANS RANK HIM
FIRST TO HOLDER!
AMAZING SIZE OF PURSE
(By Geoffrey Simpson)
London, September 5. TN the latest American ranking lists Benny Lynch, stocky Glasgow fighter, has been elevated to No. 1 position among the world's fly- weights, with Jackie Brown, official world cham- pion, second.
How the compilers. 3.000 miles distant, arrive at this estimate, seeing that Brown has held on to his championship for three years against all comers, may bewilder Lancashire, but not Scotland!!
Perhaps it is a case of intelligent anticipation, for on Monday night in the Belle Vue ring, Manchester, not far from Brown's birthplace, the champion must risk his title against Lynch's busy fists

pean championships will be in
