REMARKABLE BRITISH
VOTE
(Bỳ William Barkley) Parliament and the Govern- ment have no intention at pre- sent of restricting football pools. A Bill introduced by Mr. R. J. Russell (Liberal National, Eddisbury) to abolish football pools was defeated in the House of Commons by the most crushing vote which any private Bill has received for many a long day.

The erities have KOMB Atrong things to say about the British nalo team which will meet the United States for the Westchester Cup at Hurlingham, this June.
The team, which will shortly start practice, is na follows:
No. 1 Capt. M. P. Ancell, th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards.
No. 2. H. Iughes,
No. 3 E. H. Tyrrell-Martin, Back Captain H. P. Guinacas, Royal Scots Greys.
And the critics agree that it does not stand a chance. They think that there are at least four teams in the of beating United States capable this combination. The Orst West- chester Cap match to be played in is likely to be Britain since 1921 yet another of the one-alled affairs
