Move To Extend Test Noordwyk-on-Sen, August 7.
Matches To Four Days
London, August 7. Following the inability of England or New Zealand to force a win in the first three Tests of the present series, there is now move afoot to have the Tests against next year's West Indies team extended to four days each instead of three. The West Indies, like New Zealand, have not gained o Test victory in England. They have wori on five occasions at home, but since their last tour in England in 1939 they have made such a considerable advance that it is being suggest- ed that next year's eleven will end England's unbeaten home record. But this is not likely to be accomplished in the three days available for each Test.
The West Indians have proved almost as great a force as the Australlads, but there seems little prospect of them dis- missing the powerful England batting aide twice within three days and getting the necessary runs to win.

WOODCOCK THINKING OF QUITTING RING
Doncaster, August 8.
Bruce Woodcock, Britain's heavyweight boxing champion, surprised the boxing world today when he said in hospital that he was serious- ly thinking of giving up boxing. Interviewed in hospital where he is receiving treat- ment following last week's motoring mishap, Woodcock told a press representative of his feelings. His father and brother were pre- sent when he said: "I am all in and I am thinking of packing in the fight game.
