Storming Finishes To League Games

The Football Association" wIL| tell us soon whether or not the Italians are coming to Highbury on November 14. It is hoped that they release something more in- formative on this subject than the customary "skeleton" bulletin.

This is the match for which the Soccer world is waiting. England. .to oblige Italy, who are the European champions, played in Rome in May, 1833, with all the weather conditions against them and with their players past their freshest after a hard season of League and Cup strife.

This is Scotland's big chance to find how they stand in regard to home talent. No doubt the Eng- lish selectors will stand by the eleven that beat Wales but they should not be in too much hurry to conclude that the team is beyond Improvemente

There will be keen disappoint- nent in London If Bastin is not In the side, and the opportunity should be taken to try out an other centre-half in Barker's place

NEWCASTLE IN THEIR STRIDE

TRAINING GALLOPS

Preparing For Saturday's Meeting

(BY: MORNING DEW")

No very fast times were recorded on the course yesterday al-. though some of the gallops were of more than ordinary Interest.

One of the outstanding features of the morning's work was a mile by King's Warden who took-2.10 for the fourher, covering the fast half mille in 101. This pony will be a big factor in 'the Grifin's Cup on Saturday, and will probably solve the problem of where the" St. Leger will be going. The "Dynasty " stable, in fact, has 's very strong claim for the St Leger as their other candidate, King's Fancy, is also at the top of his form. He covered six furlong's in convincing styla yesterday...

Brechin and Mayflower, who are due to meet over a middle distance"event öri Saturday, moved impressively. Others that went well wete Tiny Star, Flying Tourist, Chesterfield, Ribble, Racing Boy and Gladiator.
