in one of the wettest seasons on record, Saturday's weather was kind at most of them.

Adrian. Quist, the Australian champion, who returns home next week, had az unbeaten record in the Hampshire championships at

Bournemouth.

In the singles he was in a class above the field, and beat his fellow

countryman. Clifford Sproule, in POWER and the final with the loss of only two DISTANCE

games.

Opposes Tuckey's Father

Paired with Sproule in the dou bles, Quist had as one of his op ponents in the doubles final the father of Raymond Tuckey, the British Davis Cup player.

The veteran and his partner, C. E. Bean, offered stern resistance and carried the second set into vantage games.

Quist lost his only set in the tournament in the final of the mix- ed doubles, in which he and Miss Nancy Lyle beat Sproule and Miss P. L. F. Thomson after a good match.

DON BRADMAN

Twenty-Year-Old Sydney Player's Averages

Australia may have a rod in pickle for the M.CC. tourists in the shape of Cecil Pepper, a 20-year-old Sydney player, who is hailed as another, Bradman.

Papper (what a name for the *barrackers") is both batsman and googly bowler. During the past club season his batting aver- age was 98.19 and his bowling 11.25. He scored 2,834 runs and took 116 wickets. He will come under the N.S.W coaching scheme next year, when he will play for the Petersham club.

ARSENAL'S TRAINING METHODS

(By “Leighton")

London, August 28.

TO-MORROW there will be a stir in the Eng- Football LeagueTM camp. The 88 clubs

will start on the long trek that will end on the first Saturday in May, 1937. What has the"- future in store for the 22 aristocrats of the most powerful tournament in the world? There is much speculation whether Sunderland will retain the championship they won în so emphatic a manner last season, or whether it will go to Lon- don or to Lancashire.

With regard to the chances of the Metropolitan clubs, it is generally assumed that if the honours are to be brought within their area the Arsenal will be the team to bring them. In giving currency, to this view I am not overlooking that there are three other clubs in London with definite aims upon the championship. In addition to Chelsea, who have been in and out of the upper circle on a few occasions, and who have always lacked the con- sistent excellence which alone wins League honours, there are Brentford and Charlton Athletic.

A short time ago Mr. George Allison announced that as and when the Arsenal required players they would be obtained, and A keen yachtsman who passed players of the quality that is necessary to enable that club to through Singapore a few days ago retain its place in the football limelight.
