ONLY ONE HONOUR LEFT FOR LEN HUTTON—THE YORKSHIRE CAPTAINCY

By DENIS COMPTON

Len Hutton's appointment as England's captain for the whole of a home series of Tests, a step not taken since C. B. Fry insisted on "that or nothing in 1912, practically completes the distinctions which the game can bring him.

But what about the captaincy of Yorkshire? I imagine that. Len would be a proud man to lead his nailve county through a season in the Championship.

There is speculation in Yorkshire whether this will be the last season that Norman Yardley will wish to continue as captain.

It that is so, Hutton must be strengin on the on-side is res his. Togiest successor.

Davis Cup Tie

London, June 8. Britain will start favourkes against India in their European Zone third round Davis Cup match which begins at Disbury (Manchester) 10morrow afternoon but the margin of victory may not be so great as many predict.

Several enthusiasts envisaged a 5-0 win for Britain, but they were made to change their ideas, following last week's defeat in the Northern Tournament (at Man- chester) of Jaroslav Drobny, the Wimbledon Champion, by Ramanathan Krishnan, India's 18-year-old number one from Madras.

WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE OFF THE TRACK

Following the White City Games held during the Whitsun week-end over 200 guests were invited to a special banquet at the Dorchester Hotel in London to further the interest of international competitive sports,

Many famous international athletes attended, including Sandor Iharos of Hungary who set up a world record for the Two Miles with a time of 8 minutes 33.8 seconds and Ken Wood of Great Britain who came second in the same race in 8 minutes 34.8 seconds. Also present was Laszlo Tabori of Hungary who created a new record with Chris Chataway and Brian Hewson of Britain by being the first three men to complète a One Mile race in that order in under four minutes.

The picture shows some of the athletes chatting together at the banquet. Left to right are Ken Wood. Gordon Pirie, Laszlo Tabori, Sandor Iharos and a Hungarian official.-Express Photo.
