The stands are going up; and the transfer market is virtually at a standstill. That is the position in English League football on the eve of another eight months'

season.

**While there won't be any heat wave, the weather should be warm with little or no pre- cipitation for the Games," official spokesman said.

Taunton, July 29.

Somerset opener Fred Angell took five hours and

40 minutes in putting together 114 against Pakistan here today. It was a dull, laborious innings but the county would have been in a sorry plight without him for only wicketkeeper Harold Stephenson, with a bright 44, offered much alternative resistance.

Angell's hundred, which included 15 fours, was the first century by a Somerset player on a home ground this season. It was also Angell's first three-figure score for the county.
