PADGHAM & MISS BARTON ON LOSING SIDES

CRITCHLEY'S BAD ERROR AT 20TH (By GEORGE GREENWOOD)

Senorita Anita Lisans, above, secured her first triple success in England recently.

SENORITA LIZANA'S FIRST CUP

THIRD SUCCESSIVE WIN AT BIRMINGHAM

KHO SIN KIE BEATS C. E. HARE

SENORI

(By A. WALLIS MYERS)

ENORITA ANITA LIZANA, by winning the

singles at the Tally Ho! meeting at Bir mingham yesterday for the third successive year, became the permanent owner of her first overseas

cup.

IT WAS AT TALLY HO! THAT THE LITTLE CHILEAN MADE HER BRITISH DEBUT IN 1935; SHE BEAT MISS STAM- MERS IN THE SEMI-FINAL AND MISS WHITMARSH IN THE FINAL. LAST YEAR SHE WAS UNTHREATENED, BUT THIS WEEK, FAILING TO ATTACK OFF THE SERVICE, SHE WAS GIVEN AN ANXIOUS MATCH BY MISS EVELYN DEARMAN, WHO PLAYED WITH GREAT CONFIDENCE AND WON A LONG FIRST SET. “

:

The Senorita's first British Cup is associated with a little in- cident that illustrates her sense of humour.

At the ceremony on the courts in 1935, when the winner knew no English at all, a well- known Warwickshire county player, called upon to present the trophy, was requested by the Press photographers to retain the champion's hand while a time exposure was made.

Two years later, before play-] ing with Senorita Lizana on a The 15 players are:

Critchley topped his drive at the 12th into the heather, and though Padgham dug the ball on to the course, it was all to purpose. Wallis, a rotund, jovial little golfer, who is nearly as broad as he is long, hit a lovely spoon shot close to the flag and this got a hole back.

Returning to the attack, Padg ham and Critchley manoeuvred them- selves into a seemingly impregnable position-two up with two to I

INQUIRY

Racehorse Exhumed

Cape Town, April 2. The body of a racehorse has been exhumed here during an inquiry by the South African Turf Club inte an accident at Kenilworth Races on March 13. Four horses fell and two jockeys were injured. T

The korse responsible was an aged mare, named Ruhr, who fell as the field was coming round the bend. She had to be destroyed.

The body was exhumed in the presence of two veterinary sur geons, and certain organs were re moved for analysis. As the result of a chemist's report, a recom mendation has been sent to the Jockey Club of South Africa!
