A glance at the names will show that tennis of the very highest standard may be expected and though the home team will start slightly favourites, the Indians are very confident regarding their chances of winning, and it is felt in the Scokumpoo camp that never since 1930, when they last won the championship, have their chances of defeating the redoubtable C.R.C. team been so TOSY.

As there are so many Corin- thians about these days, one sup- pose confusion is inevitable with the Corinthians who made the name famous.

Some of the rest, however, will read as pretty brisk ballyhoo down West Ham way, where the United's third eleven beat this Islington Corinthians tour team 3-1 before they embarked on their globe- trotting.

When Alfred V. Pope was pick- ed for a Test trial last year many people thought the Selectors had got their Popes mixed and had chosen the wrong brother. Ac- cording to these critics, Lord Ten- nyson, took the right one to India. Whether or not an error waS made last time, the present Selec- tors cannot overlook the perfor→ mances of George H. Pope on the Indian tour.

He headed the bowling average with 79 wickets for 14.48, and that is no mean feat when one considers the varying pitches and climatic conditions. to which he was unused.

HOWLING STRENGTH George Pope is a fast-medium bowler. For her fast bowlers England is likely to rely on G. 0. Allen and K. Farnes. I believe the "bowling of these two will prove a greater menace to the Australians on English wickets than it did in Australia, where the spinners found conditions more to their liking than did the speed merchants, writes a correspon dent.
