Summer Sports Season Nears Its Peak
(By Vernoh Morgan, Reuters Sports Editor)
London, June 23. Britain's big summer sporting programme is climbing to its peak, with the first Test match against India being played this week-end and the famous Wimbledon fortnight starting next week. Ascot has come and gone, Henley and the Open Golf Championship lie just ahead.

It is not a very satisfactory sporting season for Britain. Our two best boxers, Bruce Woodcock and Freddie Mills, have been beaten France and Ireland took most of our Ascot prizes and our lawn tennis girls could not win even one set from their American rivals.

India's Batting
Too Timid
London, June 23. Most cricket writers in Britain's Sunday newspa- -
pers today agree on two things, that the first Test between England and India is in a most interesting and open position, and that the new England medium-fast bowler, Alec Bedser (Surrey) has played himself into England's side to tour Australia at the end of the season. Jack Hobbs, former England and Surrey batsman, in the "Sunday Express" says the game at the moment is in a 50-50 position. Of the first day's play he says, "It was a bowlers' day, backed by a fielders' day. The match progress- ed much further than I anticipated, in view of the good state of the pitch."

England All Out For 428
(By Learie Constantine)
Lords Cricket Ground, June 24. England carried their over-night score of 135 for four wickets to a first innings total of 428 in the second day of their Test match with India here today. J. Hardstaff carried his bat for 205-five more runs than India's entire first innings total of 200.

Summing up India's batting, Hobbs anya: "It was far too timid, but after all their Test cricketers are not the first who have felt the importance of the occasion when playing at Lord's. What is more, they won't be the last. There is something in the atmosphere which breeds care. and yesterday it bred care to the extent of putting our guests into diflicult position.
"Most of the Indian batsmen played back to deliveries which they should have gone forward
to meet. There was nothing wrong with the wicket so far as I could see, or the bowling de- monstrated.
"I am not only going to say that the Indians ought to have dune much better, but that they can and will do much better.
"Although four of England'a batsmen were back in the pavi- lion for a smaller aggregate than India's, first four, their cricket had looked better."
Still Open
Hobbs said thất Amarnath's Ruccess reminded him that the Nduab of Pataudi (India's cap- tain) had written to him from India to say that he was expect- ing great things from that fine all-rounder.

Harataff will be difficult to re move, as he is now playing his best cricket this season.
India's batting on Saturday was, on the whole, subdued, partly due to the effective bowl ing of Bedner and Wright, and me partly due to the lack of desire'
to take chances.
