What was much more interesting, to me at any rate, was the per- sistent rumour going round the club to the elect that Rao Räjä Hanut Singh is to be invited to play for England in the forthcoming series of matches against the United States for the Westchester Cup. His Inclusion in our side would greatly enhance our chances of regaining the trophy that Ameri- ca has held since 1914.
