Although the game between Not- tingham Forest and West Ham at Nottingham contained plenty of in- terest It was barren of goals. West Ham were the better side. They had more speed and found their men with more accuracy, but their shooting was poor, At one they carried all before them in an attack which appeared certain to bring goals.

ment carried out mainly by Morton and Goulden, und Ashton in the Forest goal seemed fated to be beaten, but he gave a splendid ex- hibition of goal anticipation, Rad was in position to take the ball every time.

Forest were compelled, to ruake a last-minute change owing to the absence of Alsford, who was suf- fering from rheumatism, and Davies was brought in at centre- half, with Graham, moving to left- half. This did not impair the ef- ficiency of the line, which was by no means the weakest department ! of the team.

UMPIRE'S LIBEL THE VANISHING

Wade And Siedle Retire

SUIT FAILS

Press Report Was

Fair

South Africa has lost two of her. A lawn tennis umpire, sir, Wi- finest batsmen with the retirement Ham Williams, of Strawberry Hill- of H. F. Wade and I. J. Siedle road. Twickenham, Middlesex, sued owing to business reasons.

Associated Newspapers Ltd, pro- Wade, who recently married an prietors of the "Daily Mail." in the English girl, captained the South Kings Bench Division recently for African team which won the "rub- damages for alleged Ubel.. ber" in England in 1935. He also led his province, Natal, to victory

the Currie Cup Tournament last year. He was a steady bats- man and a shrewd captain.

Siedle was an opening batsman. He was a member of the last team to tour England and scored 1,348

ming.

Both were certain to play for South Africa against England in the Unlon next year and they will be badly missed.

Like Wade. Siedle played for Natal.

Mr. Charles Doughty, K.C.. for the plaintiff, said that on March

20, 1938. Mr. Williams umpired an important match at West Twicken- ham. He Was in pain because. three days previously, a blood ves- sel had broken in one of his eyes. It did not interfere with his vision, but when the last set came, he asked the players whether they would mind if another umpire took his place. The players agreed.

Next day he said, there was a report in the "Daily Mail which said:

"Four bewildered tennis Now that Wade has retired, the players.. could not understand most likely choice for the cap- the decisions of the umpire, Mr. taincy of South Africa against Williams.... They suddenly look- England is Alan Melville, who hased at each other in astonishmen

QUEEN MEETS

"OLD FRIENDS”

War-Disabled Men

Remembered.

The Queen spent nearly two hours recently at the annual War- Disabled ex-Servicemen's exhibi- tion at the Imperial Institute, South Kensington.

During that time she went from stall to stall, making purchases at every one, and chatting with the men from the various organisa- tions who were selling the goods. Her Majesty recognised many of the disabled soldiers, having seen them at previous exhibitions or at their workshops.

When she shook the band' of Mr. F. T. Betts. at the stall of the Enbam Industries, she said: "This is like meeting old friends." At another stall, she said to the ex- Serviceman in charge: "I remem- ber you last year. You are a very good salesman "

Lord Hewart decided that the words were not capable of a defa- matory meaning and said he would be wasting the time of the jury if he left the case" to them. There was nothing in the article which took it out of the region of fair comment.

He gave judgment for the defen- dants, with costs. and sad the action should never have been brought.

BATH CHAIR

Six Left Out Of 180 In Spa City

Bath chairs, the man-drawn vehicles invented by Austin Dawson in 1780, may soon vanish from the streets of this famous spa city, Their only hope is that the six remaining "owner-chairmen" mày be subsidised by the Corporation.

Before the coming of the taxicab there were 180 bath chairs plying for hire nt is 6d an hour and ed for a short trip. The remaining six are for hire at 2s 6d an hour and is for a short trip.

Ernest

Ball, 63-year-old owner of a chair bullt in 1830, the year that William IV. became King. said:—

"My family have been chairmen for 200 years-since the old sedan chair times. My grandfather- 'Sugar' Ball they called him-pulled one of the old chairs with wooden wheels, called 'Rumblers' because their row in passing over the cob. bles was terrible.

CHAIR WHICH COST £75 "This chair of mine cost £75 more than 100 years ago. She weighs 31cwt, "and she was the first of the 'Miller' wheel chairs with iron wheels and rubber tyres. She is dear to keep up. Last year her overhaul cost £12 109.

Mr. Neville Laskip K.C., for ME Tarsh, said that the purpose for which the money was entrusted to Donoghue partially failed. There was then a difference of opinion as to whether it was a gift. The mat~ ter had been adjusted, and the re- cord in the case would be with-
