THE CHANCELLOR OF EXCHEQUER COULD TAKE A LOOK AT JENNIFER

By "RECORDER"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer is unlikely to get very worried about the coming visit to England of Jennifer Hart as far as leakage of Sterling abroad is concerned. On the sheer problem of sterling silver, however, Mr Butler may have to look into the whole matter of this visit of only one of Hongkong's outstanding feminine athletes.

Jennifer leaves for England on May 15. She is not going to challenge England's best until the WAAA Pentathlon in September, but before that she will compete in a good number of meetings, almost at the rate of one a week, including the WAAA Championships,

Precautions At Epsom Spring Meeting Against "Welshing" Bookmakers

London, Apr. 19:

In the days of long ago, backers on British racecourses were well advised to keep one eye on their bookmaker as a race was being run, as it was not unusual for a layer to take to his heels if the result was not to his liking.

There are tales of some very severe punishments being inflicted on decamping or "welshing" bookmakers who could not outstrip their irate creditors.
