GODFREY EVANS GOOD FOR MANY MORE TESTS Sports Diary

He's So Superbly Fit

By ARCHIE QUICK

Rarely does one man excel at a sport to such an extent as Joe Davis does at snooker. You think in terms of John Charles far above his fellows at soccer and once upon a time it was the sama with Victor Barna at table tennis and Henry Cotton at golf. There is, however, one equivalent to Davis Godfrey Evans. He and wicket-keeping are synonymous; he is far away botter than anyone elso in the world.

The ebullient little Kentish man-or man of Kent-has just claim- ed his 200th Test victim, and he is still so keen on his profession that when the Leeds Test Match ended prematurely he rushed away to Hastings to watch Kent play Sussex.

There is a League club that nobody, scemingly, wants 10 manage. That is Leyton Orient, Akc Stock did not want to manage it because of the lure of the Italian Bra. Trainer Leslie Gore did not want to manage it because he did not feel capable of the responsibility. Freddie Cox did not want to manage it because he prefers the Bourt- mouth air to the tess salubrious atmosphere of North-east Lon- don.

One inan high up on the short lot, however, is Jimmy Guthrie, former Chairman of the Player Unlon, The club chair- man, Mr Zussman, recognises that Guthrie, despite some liz- orthodoxy, got ccnèrete results on behalf of the players. Guthrie, indeed, can be sald to bo almost wholly res- ponsible for getling the maxinium wage raised from the immediate post-war rate of 23 10 the present £17. That is a considerable achievement, and accomplished in the face of great opposition from the clubs, and, strange as it may #em some ently diẞidence on the part of the players.

FULL TIME JOB

Meanwhile, Leslie Gore is carrying on as ecting matager, but, as he told me the other day, he has a full time job with the training. *This pecond season of ours in Divisim Two," he said, "s an important one. Last year we established Ourselves; now we have to consolidate the position. There must be no falling bacic to Division Three, and I do not feel I can serve the club so well as manager an I can as trainer, Mr Stock will be sadily missed, but I think we have the playing staff to see us figure prominently this winter. Mr Zussman, however, will not besitate to buy, it needs be, and oro in a better Anancial we position now, thanks to the now sland's available seats being fully booked up by OCADOR Ucket holders,"
