There are no sure things in boxing game, and the apparently, rosy path set for Joe Louis may develop a few thorns before the year is out. Who knows?-Len Harvey.

I believe snooker is probably a thor- oughly good training for billiards be- cause in it you have far less margin for error.-Joe Davis.

Does tennis interfere with golf? In my view, hardly at all, with the ex- atception that a man who plays a great deal of tennis will probably be over- strong in his right hand and will have to take special pains to strengthen his left sufficiently to withstand the force of the impact between club and ball. -Henry Longhurst.

There is more laxity among English reforces over low punching than any time in my experience. They get hoarse giving warnings, whereas in the old N.S.C. days an offering boxer was thrown out the first time he broke the code.-Geoffrey Simpson.

Harvey is not getting any younger, and clever boxer though I know him to be, I feel certain that he cannot take the world championship from me. John Henry Lewis.

London, May 9:-h taking nine wickets for 62 runs in the M.C.C. innings at Lord's, yesterday, Hed- ley Verity, the Yorkshire slow left-arm bowler, accomplished for the ninth time the fent of dismiss- ing nine or more batsmen in a single innings.

In 1931 he took all ten War- wickshire wickets for 36 runs, and in 1932 all ten Nottingham- shire wickets for 10 runs, Yes- terday's was his seventh crop of nine.

The lesson from Wolverhampton from the weekly practices under Wanderers' success these last two pert guidance and the constant experi- years is less from gland treatment and ment with players showing aptitude ground watering, I firmly believe, than' for new positions.-Ivan. Sharpe.

Boxing titles, particularly

world ones, are money-making possessions, and although' Kane makes no secret of his ambition to meet Sixto Escobar, the American, for the world's' bantam- weight championship, he will not let the fly-weight title slip from his grasp if he thinks he has a reasonable chânce of defending it without unduly weak- ening himself physically and jeopar- dising his future.-A writer in the "Sunday Times."

My private belief is that, if grounds- men will present bowlers with "easy" wickets, something should be done make the ball respond to them. softer ball was introduced into squash. rackets when conditions beat the or- dinary player, and I believe that a lighter one may help spin bowlers. The ball comes slowly off an easy wicket, but a lighter ball may move

solve the whole dif- quickly, and so ficulty.-I. A, R. Peebles.
