The First and Third Division League matches begin their second round this afternoon with a backlog of four postponed games. Last season I had occasion to remark on the unfairness of having postponed games played towards the end of the season, when interest among clubs already knocked out of the running is at its lowest.

QUIZ

True or false?

4.

Who

The 22-year-old London rider, John Surtess, won his first Senior Interna- tional TT in the Isle of Man on June 9. But it was another victory for Con- finental motor-cycles.

His victory on an Italian MV Agusta meant that all five premier inter. national trophies at the meeting have been won by liallan or German machines. Surtess, who completed the 265 miles at a speed of 96.57 mph rode an immaculate race in face of almost gale-force winds and led the fleld almost from the start.

Biggest surprise was the sudden success of two Norton riders, J. Harlle, who came second, and Jack Brett, third.

Both riders had been lying behind Bill Lomas (Moto Guzzi) throughout the race, but they overtook him on the last lap.-Express Photo,

BRITISH ATHLETICS

Performances Of The Early Season Suggest Better To Come

By STAN TOMLIN

With the Olympic Games not due to take place until November, athletes in Britain have this season adopted a longer term training policy than is usual. Many of the middle and long distance runners did not have a race during the usually busy month of May while others only appeared at distances below those in which they may ultimately specialise. Nevertheless there have been some in- teresting performances, especially among the women whose sprinting and jumping, has revealed a fine Olympic potential.

Pride of place must certainly go to 19-year-old Thelma Hopkins for a new world record of 6 feet 81% inches (1.789 metres) in the Women's High Jamp. - It was a really wonderful effort and one that must be considered as a just reward for consistency.
