Witness thought it a little strange but surmised that she must have changed her mind and gone elsewhere. Witness then Tnes a Mr. Drew whom he invited for a drink and at about 5 p.m., feeling a lttle worried at the non- appearance of his wife, he rang up

Perry And Hughes Lose Title

It is not often that a French over gallery cheers "hysterically the result of a match in which Frenchmen are not engaged.
