NOT HER PLAN

The other sensation of the day came when Mrs. Moody lost the first set since she has been in England this season to Miss M. Scriven, who, however, eventually lost by 2-0. 7-5, 3-6.

Filby,

as I have so often pointed aul. is more likely to become a chiam- · plan than any of the young gener- tion that the L.T.A. prefer to him. The fact that he has lost matches that he should have won no doubt influences the selectors in their cholen, yet no player of his age-ho only 21-could have beaten Austin Is

in the same decisive manner.

Filby won by going in to the net as soon and as fast as he could. Not even Austin's Immaculate, length could keep him away, and, if he was passed now and then, he never funk- } fed going in again. And how ho

Anything on his forehand was volleyed as crisply and as unanswer- ably as by Perry in his prime. Filby served well and overhead he was Immense. He had won the frat set and led 5-2 in the second. Then he faded away somewhat and Austin, fighting his hardest, lessened the lead to 4-5. Then Filby come back to the attack to win the next game and match.

OPENING DAY'S PLAY IN TEST MATCH REVIEWED Has Edrich The Proper Temperament For Test Cricket?

(By "R. Abhit")

Although England are in a fairly good position, the cricket yesterday must give the supporters of England flously to think. All our batsmen have now been to the wleket, seven in all, and of these seven four have talled. It is true, I gather from the reports, that the wicket was helping McCormick, the fast bowler and that Hulton was a victim of a kicker. But both Barnett and Edrich picked the wrong ball to look. This, I imagine will Anish Edrich as a Test player for this seasoti. It looks as It, like so many cricketers, he in 21 lion against lambs, but a lamb agalost Hons. In other words, he has not the temperament for a really big occasion. It was disturbing too to read that apparently Compton, who stems to) have the right temperament, threw his wicket away by hitting across straight ball. As he had only made stx he could not possibly have been set, and that sort of stroke is usualy fatal if played too early in an innings.
