COUNTY CRICKET

STATHAM TAKES FIVE GLAMORGAN WICKETS FOR 13 RUNS

London, May 28.

Brian Statham, who is almost certain to share the burden of England's Test altack against the Australians, anatched five Glamorgan wicketa for 13 runs to give Lancashire a resounding ten wickets victory in two days at Old Trafford.

While the Australians were punishing the MCC at Lord's, Statham had his best figures of the season, bowling seven maidens in his 13 overs.

Finest County Feat

Says ALEX BANNISTER

Surrey's defeat of the Australians the other day was probably the greatest single performance ever achieved by an English county. The last Australians to lose to county teams were Syd Gregory's 1912 side, when they took part in a triangular. lournament with England and South Africa.

They were twice beaten by Lancashire, and also by Notts, Surrey, and Hamp- shire, the last team to do it. But that Australian side, without in any way belittling those victora, was sub-standard.

Several of their leading players remained at home after a bitter dispute over the choice of the manager.

They proved vastly superior. on a turning wickel, both in batting and bowling.

PIRIE HAS ONLY ONE GOAL IN VIEW-MELBOURNE

By ARCHIE QUICK-

A prophet has no honour in his own country is an adage which almost comes true in the case of Gordon Pirie,

Here is an athlete who has dedicated himself to track running, and in the process has reaped high prestige for his country. But popularity eludes him. He does not mind, but it is a strange kink in the public's make-up, that he always has someone "knocking" him.

Why is it? Part of the answer is that he has a dominating personality and in his pursuit of victory he allows nothing and nobody to hiterfere with his ayowed slogan of "I shall be first." American golfer Walter Hagen suffered in the same way with his "Who's going to be second?" and Henry Cotton brought criticism down on himself by his intense concentration which resulted in his being so uncom- municative.
