(From a Correspondent)

London, Feb. 21,

I was sorry the other day to see Matt Brunton, Burnley's former assistant-trainer, getting along on two crutches. Matt was always an active man, In his time he was a gymnast, swimming instructor and trainer. Now he is in the grip of rheumatoid arthritis. And he's still cheery.

Matt had something to tell me about his son Jack. This young on spec. fellow went to London He got a job and is now playing football for Hayes, the Athenian League club. I hear that Brent. ford and Spurs have been looking. Jack is a left-half, but is not parti- cular as to position.

Wolves Are Pleased A few weeks ago Dick Rhodes was being spoken about as a likely subject for a cap. Now Dick is out of the Wolverhampton Wanderers side and in his place is Chris Greene, the half from Southport.

Are the Wanderers pleased with Greene? Or are they? They back- ed their own judgment when other clubs were hesitating. Maybe they'll do the same in the case of Ray Worswick, the young South- port centre-forward.

I understand there have been "conversations" between the two clubs on the subject.

Back to Wales

I wonder if that great little back, Tommy Jones of Manchester United, will finish up his playing career back home in Wales? Tommy has had a long sojourn in Manchester. United's preparations see him gradually superseded.

There is a feeling that the United would not turn aside a rea- sonable offer for Tommy. There's more to it. One of the Welsh clubs Keenly interested. They may be taking the international defender away one of these days.

A GOOD LOSER

as

The game that attracted most spectators was that between E C. Fincher and E. L H. Shute and though it was generally expected that the former would win, few thought that he would have such an easy passage into the second round: He won, in straight sets conceding only Ave games in the process, and his placing and back- hand "chop" were a delight to watch though the ground was too hard to render his "chop" as deadly as it might have been

Shate scored some pretty shots but he was out-generaled and it was in this department that Fin- cher proved so superior.

Fincher has been seen to play better tennis thad he did yester- day but it must be mentioned that he was by no means "extended.

FORMER CHAMPION WINS Sirdar Rumjahn was given a fright when Tennie Kwok played excellent tennis to lead by 4 games to 3 in their second round encounter but the former chan- pion soon got into his stride and took the first set at 6-4. In the second set Rumjahn did as he pleased and after taking five games off the reel conceded the Sixth to win by 6 games to 1.
