London New Zealanders

London, Apr. 15.

The New Zealand cricketers, who arrived in England to-

day, will play two matches 13,000 miles apart in the space of eight days. Last Thursday they had a prae- tice game in Auckland, New Zealand, and this Thurs day they open the tour with a one-day match against the London New Zealand Club at the Oval. Three other one-day fixtures have been arranged before the first class programme opens at Worcester April 30.

Hardest Hit Of Committee To Stage Most Beautiful Olympic Games?

Paris, Apr. 15. The Monaco AS was the hardest hit of the French clubs following the light of Algerian aco footballers from France. Four of the nire missing players belong to Monaco and represent a capital of about £30,000,

International player Mustapha Zitouni, one of Monaco's half-backs, had a transfer value of 215,000.

With only six matches to be played in the National Champion- ships, Monaco has only ten professionals left in its first team. Monaco also now risks being knocked out of the French Cup.

Rome.

To stage the most beautiful Olympic Games in history is the target the wealthy Italian Olympic Committee has set itself for 1960.

Even Ancient Greece, it is thought here, could not make of the Olympics the spectacle that the organisers hope the Rome Games will provide.

More than 6,000 athletes-swordsmen, swimmers, horsemen, cyclists,

oarsmen, footballers, marksmen, wrestlers, gymnasts and boxers will pit their skills in the grandeur of ancient ruins, in lovely settings of the Renaissance, or in the most modern and probably the most

beautiful sports arenas of the world.
