Played With Arm in Splints

McKenzie, Southend goal- keeper, played with an arm in splints for part of a recent Third Division match against Brighton.

He cracked a wrist bone in attempting a save during the first half. The wrist and arm were put in splints at half-time, but McKenzie insisted on going out again to play.

He went outside right for a time. Then the Southend captain, Nelson, persuaded· him to leave. He went to hospital later.

Southend, a goal down at the time of McKenzie's in- jury, hit back and won 2-1.

A week of racing off the Eastern Yacht Club, et Marblehead, home port of Rainbow and Yankee, is planned for Aug. 28 to Sept. 3, and will probably wind up the season for the big boats in America.

Enterprise, in fact, is still well represented.
