Drop In Prices Does Not Mean

Sales Slump

When the Lancashire owner, Mr John Hamer, gave 10,000 guineas for a colt by Pinza on the first morning of the Doncaster Sales the other week no one could have thought that that bid would top the Sales (writes Richard Baerlein).

Having The Utmost In Raising A Team With Sufficient Strength

Says ARCHIE QUICK

Eire have been drawn in the same pool of the World Cup competition as Eng- land and Denmark, and Eire are having the ulnost difficulty in raising a team of sufficient strength. They look like finishing as poor relations in that trio of coun- tries, for Denmark are up-and-coming as witness their big success over England's amateurs and England are complacent with their new-look youthful team.

The Eire Selectors were ont in force the other Saturday looking at prospects. Secretary Joe Wickham was at Millwall sizing up centre-half Charlie Hurley, and it was a real "Shamrock Day" at Luton, Two Eirp Selectors flew in from Dublin to look at a "nap hand" of players in the Laiton-Everton match.

The team is quick to point out that their productions to date have never tried to teach audiences anything like history, geography, psychology or civics, Their iden is that amusement is their forte, and they stick to it.

"People like to laugh." Abbott said. "Wo try to take care of this, which seems to be their favourite pastime."
