BRITAIN'S STIRLING MOSS

ESS

1956

Hopes of British success in this year's Grand Prix racing events received a sharp boost on May 5 when British cars took the first four places in the International Trophy Race at Silverstone, England. Winner of the 180-mile race was 27-year-old Stirling Moss, in a Vanwall, clocking an average speed of 100,.47 m.p.h. Unsuccessful opposition included crack Argentine driver Juan Fangio in d Ferrari.

JIM LAKER IS MASTER OF THE LOT ON

A TRUE WICKET

Says ARCHIE QUICK

Jim Laker's ten wickets for 88 runs for Surrey against the Australians at Kennington Oval limelights the MCC Selectors" dilemma of choosing their spinners for the First Test at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. There are four of them, Laker and his Surrey colleague, Tony Lock, and the two Yorkshiremen, Johnny Wardle and Bob Appleyard. And Trent Bridge being the batting paradise it is there is room for only two of them to leave space for the speed squad,

It is significant that Lock did not take a single Australian wicket (no wickets for 102 runs). Laker took the lot. At Bradford recently Wardle and Appleyard spun out the tourists for 88. But that was on a surface that would have equally aulted Lock--a rain damaged one.
