R. Williams, the South African wicket-keeper, who stayed in London when the rest of the team returned home, has joined London Welsh Rugby Football Club.
He holds an appointment with an electrical engineering firm and expects.to be in England for three years. His first appearance for London Welsh was against Brid- yond at Bridgend.

The son was wel- comed by many relations when he visited Wales with the cricket team, He was born at Viljoen's Drift, on the border of the Transvaal and the- Orange Free State, and has played full-back for Nata! for five years, being tried for a South African cap. He is 21 years of age.

He added: "I don't wish to hear my son's name mentioned. Ho is free to arrange his life as it pleases him."

"I never heard such a ridiculous story in my life," replied Jack em- phatically,
"There is not one word of truth in it. Father was not at my wed- ding. I must admit, but he was un- avoidably

Mr. A. W. Turner, secretary of ♦ the Tottenham Club, said: "It is an F.A. fixturo. It is a matter for them and not for us. "We have had a lot of letters, and we have called the attention of the F.A. to it. The club has received letters from all parts of England, written by Jews."
