These two are among the 70 horses for which a second forfelt of £30 ench, was recently paid. Originally there were 315 entries, but the first forfeit of £6 last summer whittled them down to 180.
By the time of the final forfelt of £30 on May 25, the field should be down to a manageable size of about thirty.

But the splendid progress of Compton has already remedied this difficulty, and the advent of Edrich, the Norfolk batsman who has now qualified for Middlesex, should com- plete the requisite augmentation of balting strength. Edrich made three centuries in first-class cricket last year, and is also a very useful fast bowler.

The great days of Surrey are tin- likely to return until the club find or develop another couple of rently great bowlers. The baiting is solid enough for all practient purposes, but a powerful attack is the first essen- tal of regular success.
MATURITY
Gover did magnificent work last year, and Wetta was n useful second. but the attack as a whole had not enough persistent sung.
E. R. T. Holmes will again lend the side, and a last year's players will be available except Wilson, who has taken an appointment in Jersey,
Among the colts who show premise are
Intereaker, a botsman, and Mc-
club
an all-rounder. There is n possibility that D. J. Knight, the famous amateur batsman, who scored
nearly 3,000 runs in cricket last yeur, may make a wel come reappearance as an opening batsman with Sandham, Knight is 43 and Sandham 47, so that Surrey's batting foundation would thus be laid by mature hands.
Kent will wear an unfamiliar look without
their A..P. F. Chapman, popular captain, and Freeman who for many seasons has performed such prodigies of trick bowling. Both of These
stalwarts have retired from county cricket. R. T. Bryan will captain the side until August, when
B. H. Valentine will take over.
Woolley and Ames will again be avaliable, 06 will Ashdown, who has been coaching in
in South Africa, These, together with Fagg, who will have ripened his experience in Aus- tralia, and Todd, will form a good solid core of batting power. In Wall and Todd the team have an excellent pair of opening bowlers, while Cole, Wright, and Lewis ali show promise of developing effectiveness.
Freeman will be missed, but even in his absence there are signs of a general
all-round Improvement in attack,
Leg Break Bowler Needed By Yorkshire
Yorkshire County Cricket Club is searching for a leg-break bowler who may help the team to win back the Championship. Rarely in the dis tinguished history of the Club has a slow leg-break and googly bowler of the highest class been seen. In- deed, with the exception of that master of length, fight and gulle, E. R. Wilson, no slow right-hander since the War has achieved notable and consistent success.
Davis Cup Player In Hospital
Mexico City, May 3. Vivian McGrath, member of the Australian Davis Cup team, has been sent to hospital with a throat infec- tion.
His team-mates have entrained for San Antonio where they will awalt McGrath before proceeding to New York-United Press.
McGrath could not play his second singles match in the tie against Mexico and John Bromwich had tọ take his place.
