Everything Normal After A Record

Marathon Run

By ARCHIE QUICK

Jim Peters sat in the Polytechnic Harrlers' thronged dressing rooms at Chiswick, grinning and rubbing an old injury, to his left thigh while the Amateur Athletic Asso- elation's official doctor examined him. Pulse and heart beat normal; everything normal,

The medical man was amazed. Well he might be for the modest wisp of a man in front of him had just run the searing 26 miles 386 yards on the hard ronds from Royal Windsor in the world's record Marathon time of 2 hrs. 18 mins. 40.2 secs.

HOW NOW AUSTRALIA? -WHAT ARE THE ODDS

ON RETAINING THE ASHES?

Aske PETER DITTON

What now are the odds on Australia beating England in the Test series this summer? After the events at Trent Bridge they must be con- siderably reduced. Dismissed twice for less than 400 runs on a wicket which gave little or no assistance to the bowlers, the Australians were exposed as they have not been since the days of Harold Larwood.

'MRS CRICKET' BY THE HEARTH

While Alec Bedser was playing skittles with the Australian Test wickets, and the pundits were waxing poetic about his 190th wicket which beat Sidney Barnes's Test record, his staunchest fan was silting placidly at home in a small house near Woking.
