A WARNING TO

The Tax Man Is After Those Various "Perks"

Says W. CAPEĻ KIRBY

Players of Manchester United and Bolton Wanderers take

hoed. Go onsy with your "perks" for TV appearances, newspaper articlos, souvenir booklets, autographed photo- graphs and the rest of the money-making sidelines connected with reaching the Cup Final.

It isn't all bunce. Big Brother is watching you from the Income Tax office window. Orders have gone out from the Inland Revenue to clamp down hard on these extra earnings.

That they have already been put into operation came as a shock to most of Birmingham's 1956 Cup Final performers. They recently received heavy demands from the tax man,

NEW ZEALAND HORSE FOR THE QUEEN MOTHER

By DICK FRANCIS

London. The Queen Mother's racing colours of 'blue and buff stripes and black cap with gold tassel are famlilar at National Hunt meetings. This summer, for the first time, they may also be seen on the Flat.

The Queen Mother's new horse, Bali Ha't III, arrived in Britain the other week, in the Corinthic, after nearly six weeks at sea. He was given to the Queen Mother by owner Sir Ernest

Filled With Admiration

For Manchester United

Says ARCHIE QUICK

Without wishing to continue to overstress the tragedy of Manchester: United, ane cannot help being filled with admiration for their subsequent achievements. No other club in the world, I think, could have come out of Munich and then roach the, Wembley Cup Final with victòries over Sheffield Wednesday and West Bromwich Albian. They have kept a reasonable place in the League table, and, wonder of wonders, their Bobby Charlton went straight from the German airfield flames to a place in England's team against Scotland in the great Hampden Park International. His additional commitment will be with the England party in the World Cup in Sweden.
