Cricket History Made At Hull Women's AAA Championships

The Story Of Fred

Trueman

And His

Pairs Of

Stolen

Boots

the

Returned to Visitors' Dressing Room at Lord's cricket ground three days before the First Test match between England and New Zealand were the stolen cricket boots of fast bowler Fred- die Trueman.

Trueman's boots are special boots. He cannot bowl his best unless he is wearing them. For the ones for the right foot have steel protector fitted to the toecap.

Like most fast bowlers, Trucman drags his right foot in the delivery stride

which means that for a few minutes with each ball the whole of his 180 pounds are poised on the right big toe.

Hence the stainless- steel toecap,

specially moulded to fil him. Making is a highly- skilled business, needing several Attings. It could take up to three weelis.

UNEASY WEEKEND

Without the toecap Trucman would wear out something like six right boots in a season,

So, with the first Eng- land v New Zealand Test match a few days away, the disappearance of the Buitcase containing his boots and the rest of his cricketing gear caused Trueman on uneasy week- end.

But three days before the match, the suitcase, complete with bools, way produced at Clerkenwell: Court, London, and two men who pleaded guilty to stealing it from True- man's car were sent to prison for a month,

Then Detective Con- stable Charles Tyler, who made the arrests, took the

precious Buitcase per. sonally to Lord's-and a grateful Freddie True- man. Reuter.

Never Too Old

Who is the oldest active athlete in the world? Could be Joe Depkin. of Surrey, who is eighty years old and Woo an Olympic Games titin in 1000. Ho he just won a three miles handicap race at Tooting Dec Common, London, and says of modern athletes: "They won't last as long or me with all their crazy training." - London By-

YORKSHIRE-NOTTS MATCH CALLED OFF WITH STILL

ONE DAY TO GO

London, June 12.

Cricket history was made on the waterlogged Hull ground today, where the Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire match was abandoned completely with a day to go. No play was possible yesterday when the match should have started.

The MCC have no previous record of a match being called off as early as the second morning. An official at Lord's said afterwards "There is nothing in the rules to prevent cricket being called off 24 hours early but it is certainly remarkable."
