ENGLAND AGAIN DEFEAT AMERICA

BY ODD GOAL

DRAW WITH SCOTLAND WILL GIVE THEM SOCCER TITLE

ENGLAND

(By FRANK COLES)

WALES

Middlesbrough, November 18. Once again-for the fourth time in five years, to be precise the odd goal of three has decided the soccer clash betwee England and Wales, but in justice to to-day's winners I must emphasise that the margin should have been two or three goals. England won this match handsomely, and if the same team is available for the annual battle with Scotland at Wembley next April there need be no misgivings about the outcome.

Miss Hardcastle was defeated by Miss Bundy. After set-all was called, the Australian established a big lead of five games to one by forceful serving, and good length driving. The match seemed wall over, but with victory in sight she became overconscious, and her play lost its sting.
