SPORTS COMMENTARY

International Six Days- Motor Cycling Trial In Wales

On the eve of closing day, Germany has entered 28 motor cyclists for the International -Six Daya Trial in mid- Wales, with headquarters at Llandrin- dod Wells, from July 11 to 165

One team has been entered for the International Trophy, which the Ger mans lost to Great Britain by 10 se- conds last summér. A team promised from Czechoslovakia to compete with the Germans will give added interest. to this year's contest. Other countries represented will be Sweden, Ireland, and Holland. There are no entries from Italy.

Other events for which entries were received from Germany this morning by the Auto-CycleTM Union; who are or- ganising the meeting, are two teams for the International Silver Vase, two manufacturers' teams and four teams for the Adolf Huhnlein Trophy.

The latter is a new trophy, offered by the German Korpsfuhrer of Sport for competition between teams of three motor cyclists from recognised organ- isations.

* Nine entries have already been re- ceived for this event from the British War Office, and as several German Army teams were present last year, it is hoped that the first contest for the trophy will resolve itself into a com- petition between the German and the British Armies.

A team of R.A.C. guides has also been entered for it.

· Picard is one of three joint favouri tes, the other two being Ralph Guldabi last year's winner, and Sam Snead, but the latter two failed badly, Guldahl taking 74 and Snead 77.

Alex. Watson, former Scottish amateur, who is now a professional at Yonkers, New York, was forced to withdraw at the twelfth hole, after collapsing with pains in his back. He was carried off the course in an ambu- lance, and although he soon recovered, ho decided not to continue.
