County Cricket Clubs To Lose Good Source Of Revenue.

Some of the English county cricket clubs who benefit financially from football Chief Constables, acting competitions have recently suffered an exasperating blow. on higher advice have warned the supporters' clubs who operate the competitions that they must keep strictly within the Betting and Lotteries Act,

I am not a lawyer but apparently it means the competitions will in future have to be registered and be subject to tax. A large slice of the profits will go to the atate.

Don Cockell, 16-stone plus British and Empire Champion, pounded his way into the small, tough circle of world 'heavies' by beating 13-stone Harry Matthews of Seattle on points over 10 rounds at the White City Stadium, London, on June 1.

Muscle man Cockell is rated third in the list of challengers for the title held by Rocky Marciano and his win over Matthews will further bis claims for a crack at the champ.
