Bradman's Inspiring Leadership

(BY FAIR FIELD)

London, Feb. 28.

A friend who has just returned from Chile tells me that the sport- ing public, there are, to use his own expression, raving about Senorita Anita Lizana, who 15 planning another lawn tennis tour in England this season.

When she returned home last year more than 25,000 people, greeted her, she was presented with a house by public subscription and a rallway engine was bamed after her.

·PAGE'S BAD LÜCK CONTINUES The latest report to the effect that J. R. Page is a likely candi- date for the Scotland Rugby team against England can be discounted.

The bad luck which attended the All Blacks' Ave-eighth throughout the tour has now dashed his hopes of playing again this season.

THE WILL TO WIN

The tile Senorita, who is ex- pected to open her tournament career at Bournemouth in the Bri- tish hard-court championships in April, numbered Miss Stammers among her victims last year, and her home supporters are confid- serious ent that she will be a claimant for the title at Wimble- don.

"FRYING-PAN" TENNIS CRAZE

"Frying-Pan" tennis is, I hear.! the latest craze in Australia.

It all began with a discussion ai Wonthaggi, the Victorian country town where there 13 a State coal mine, on the prowess of local tennis players.

I am not sure that this match would be so great an, attraction, as some people apparently imagine.

ANOTHER SUGGESTED MATCH

Needless to say, other promoters have other ideas regarding Peter- sen..

A prominent promoter told me recently that he was planning a match in the near future in Lon- don between

Petersen and John

Henry Lewis, the world's light heavy-weight champion, who is to defend his title early in the sum mer against Jock McAvoy.

The Petersen-Lewis bout would not necessarily be a world's title match, for I doubt whether Peter- sen could get down to 12st 71b and fight strongly. Nor would it inter- fere with the subsequent fight against McAvoy.

Badcock, who is only 20, is ob- viously in the great tradition, and looks like being a thorn in the side

of the C.U.AC. sports, and that they have all accepted.

Rowing, Rugger, Cricket, Soccer and Hockey will each muster four men. The relay distance is 600 yards, one lap of Fenner's, and each man has to run 150 yards.

this event was included in the .U.A.C. relays. Wooler and Cliff ones will certainly be most valu- able to them.
