This Was A Magnificent Contribution To Cricket By Peter May

Says BRUCE DOOLAND

England's young captain, Peter May, gave the whole game of cricket a shol in the arm by that magnificent Test Inningy at Edgbaston. He not only saved face for England; he also provided a perfect illustration of the real character, the uncertainly, the dynamic fascination of this great game of ours, And he did it where it was most wanted in the shop window of the game, the cockpit of Test cricket, which held the eyes and ears of the world.

I suppose the performances which nearest match May's in this game were the two by Len Hutton ・・・ oddly enough against West Indies too, but out in the sunny Caribbean instead of Birmingham... three years ago. On that tour, you will re- member, England were the first two Tests down to the "Windles" and English hearts were in their boots.

AROUND HOLLYWOOD

ARAB SHOEMAKER IS ONE OF SOPHIA LOREN'S ENTHUSIASTIC FANS

By RON BURTON

Hollywood.

Sophia Loren, a bundle from Italy who came here to show that Neapolitan women are all they're supposed to be (and proved her point), says that one of her most enthusiastic fans is an Arab shoernaker.

The shoemaker was one person who apparently paid attention to the voluptuous star's feet. He conducted a study of her problem-too much sand in her shoes—and made her a special pair of shoes that was so satisfactory that he nearly retired when other persons wanted to buy some.
