SECOND TEST TO-DAY England Makes One Change

FISHLOCK DISPLACES WORTHINGTON

(By "ADREM"")

-The second Test Match between England and Australia is due to start at Sydney to-day and in view of England's surprise victory in the first Test, this game should arouse even more interest than the first one.

Most people will agree that it is very improbable that England will; be able to repeat her smashing victory. There is no denying that Allen and his men thoroughly de- served their win, but, on the other hard, one must not lose sight of the fact that they had all the luck

AMR BEY IS STILL WORLD'S BEST

WINS SQUASH RACKETS TITLE FOR 5TH TIME DEAR NO MATCH FOR HOLDER

London, November 24.

F. D. AMR BEY once more conclusively prov-

ed that he still is far and away the greatest squash rackets player in the world when, at the Bath Club, London, yesterday, he defeated James Dear, the professional champion, in the second match for the open title.

G. 0.Gabby Allen will lead

the England team in the second Test match which commences this

the RA.C. a week ago Amr won by 9-7, 7–9, 9—7, 5—9, 9—6. He has been the holder since 1932.

There was never any question of Amr's superiority, and it was quite clear, even though he lost the second game, that he would win. He was as fast as ever, both in stroke play and on his feet, and it was only very occasionally that he was beaten on the sheer merit of his opponent's stroke.
