THESE SPORTS CARS AREN'T SPORTING
By GILBERT ELLIS
An independent young man called Donald Healey has sparked off a crisis in the sports-car racing world.
Young Mr Healey is the owner of the name you see linked with Austin on the low-alung bonnet of one of Britain's newest sports-CHEM. And with David Brown (Aston Martin and Lagomla) and Sidney Allard, he is one of the white hopes of the country's sports-car industry.

IT HAS BEEN A LONG AND TEDIOUS SEASON BUT NOT AN UNEVENTFUL ONE
By I. M. MacTAVISH

Arthur McIntyre Seems To Specialise In Strange Dismissals
Charlie Palmer, Leicestershire secretary-captain, who was MCC Manager in the West Indies, has been dismissed in a remarkable fashion in succesive matches against Surrey, my own county. Last season Palmer who used to be a schoolmaster, cut an off-break from Tom Clark on to the forehead of Arthur McIntyre, the wickel- keeper. From McIntyre's head it went to backward short leg where Stuart Surridge took an easy catch.
Nevertheless it is a tour that will make many envious and few focal players would refuse the chprice of taking part in it. give you a quiet hint that there mmry br Д mcst Interesting development in connection with this tour before the party leavrs the Colony.
