winner.

This sprint race for "A" Class Australian Ponies should be run in exceptionally fast time as all the Ayers are accepting There is very little difference in It (at the handi- cap weights) between Double Finesse and Lancashire Chips, which will be ridden by Messrs. Pih and Proulx respectively, and the luck of the draw for positions at the start may prove the ultimate factor in deciding the Home Brew (BL. Tad) is also quite handy over the distance but this bay is not quite up to the standard of the other two in, getting away quickly. Good as Centre Court, Katinka and Ranger may be, they will have à difficult task in trying to keep up with the others men- tioned. Able Amazon is a doubt ful starter, while I have not been able to get any informauon at all regarding Courting Eve. SUB-GRIFFINS AUTUMN PLATE This is the classic of the day and In the absence of Gordito, who I have been told is not starting. the picking of the winner is quite pro- blematical. Tempest (Deitz his Just as good a chance as any of the rest as this iron grey is a well known trier and the mile and a quarter should just about be suit- able. National "Anthem H. C.

VAUCLUSE HANDICAP This six furlongs event for "B" Class Australians should attract a fairly large field as practically all of the ponles entered have been undergoing strict, training. Vixen Tor (Davis) and Racing. Heart [Proulx) seem to be in their best form and I anticipate a very close rerdiet here. That old timer Bag

WIN

England Badly Outclassed

London. Sept 22. The meeting between the Scot- tish Football League and the Eng- lish Football League at Ibrox Park to-day resulted in a win for the Scots by a goal to nil, scored in the second half,

A crowd of 30,000 watched the match in mild dull weather.

Scotland won the toss, but did not have any advantage as there was no wind. Conditions were ideal for a fast game.

The Scots were more impressive than their English rivals

and Woodley was called upon to save brilliantly. Steele missed a good chance of scoring for England, but apart from this opportunity the English forwards were never pro- minent.

Laughing Girl ran an excellent race at Macao a fortnight ago but will take some holding over the first half mile. Laughing Cavalier is also worth watching but I never like to back a pony in a Novice Race that has too much lead to carry.
