Britain's Roger Has Earned Top

MAIL: THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1056.

HERO'S SON KILLED

Our present young Davis Cup team may well emulate the successes of Lacoste, Borotra, Brugnon, and Cochet, the brilliant French quartet who won the Cup in the 20's, and held the Wimbledon title between them for six successive years.

The modern idea that playera now mature much earlier is borne out occasionally by a brilliant youngster, but on the whole I believe that a playér reaches pesk around 28 or 24.

Schoolgirl Sprinter Comes Back

By ERIC NICHOLLS

"They never come back," must be the biggest sporting lie of the century. You hear it everywhere, from Tokyo to Tottenham, from Singapore to Southampton. Sporting misses are plentiful, it's true. But every so often a sporting Mrs re-enters the scene in the cause of lie-baiting.

Such a person is Mrs June Paul, the 23-year-old Highbury housewife, who was responsible for the raising of cheers and eyebrows when as June Foulds, school-

girl, she became British Women's 100 Yards Champion.

A kt of athletes have burned up the track since 16-year-old June took time off from studies to show 'em what sixth form- ere are really made cf.
