Turnbull's Merits.

M. J. Turnbull, the Glamorgay captain, played two or three in- aings of high merit, and is just at the age to come on rapidly; but he was uncertain, and it is not, at the moment, qay to gauge his exact capabilities. But South Africa is not an easy place to make runs; the varying wickets, grass one day, matting the next, the everchanging altitudes, the heat and the dust, and the long railway journeys are apt to be trying even to the strong- cat' constitution. She is often: a hard school of experience, but im provement, sometimes follows tour, and I should not be surprised if this happened in the case of Turnbull,

That South African cricket bas improved is obvious, and those who take a big, and not merely an insular, view of cricket will not grudge her success. Those who con- trol her cricket spare neither time nor' trouble, and their Selection

WEST BROMWICH ALBION QUALIFY FOR A HIGHER PLACE IN THE LEAGUE,

TOTTENHAM DISAPPOINTED: CHESTERFIELD ADVANCE TO THE SECOND DIVISION.

ARSENAL'S NEW RECORD.

Saturday's matches in the English. Lengue closed the football acason in England and definitely settled the question of promotion from the Second Division. "Everton regained their lost placs in the First Division by scoring a total of 01 points out of a possible 84. West Bromwich Albion, after winning the F.A. Cup, qualified in the same season for promotion together with Everton. They needed only two points on Saturday to gain promotion and they acquired these by the close margin of one goal when they entertained Charlton. The 'Spurs, whilst being deprived of their last chance, added defeat to their discomfiture, as Burnley scored n. goal to take the points. -

Defeating Bolton Wanderers by five goals, the Arsenal improved their championship card by nothing thereon 08 points out of a possible 84 and a score of 88 goals more than their opponents. Their total number of points excreds by six the total of 60 pointa gained by West Bromwich when the competition was resumed after the war. Since then Liverpool and Wednesday, in winning the championship, have each gained (0 points,

While Everton and West Bromwich Albion advance to the higher division, Reading and Cardiff drop out from the Second Division to make way for Notts County and Chesterfield. Lincoln had been a strong rival for promotion, but Chesterfield beat the almost at the post by a margin of one point.
