ANALYSIS OF THE ENGLAND ELEVEN

Who Will Stand Down?

(By "R. Abbit")

·

There are four new names among the list at thirteen cricketers who have been selected to stand by at

what disappointing effort by the holder who is favoured Manchester for the Third Test to- to retain his title.

Ernest Whitcombe, Dallemagne, James Bruen, 17 year-old Walker Cupper, Cox of Wimbledon, and J. Fallon led the field, each hitting a fine 70.

Alfred Perry, Bert Gadd (one of the veterans of the game) J. J. Busson, Charles Whitcombe, Reginald Whit- combe, and Richard Burton returned cards of 71.

S. B. Roberts from Wales, French of West Surrey, and Jack McClean of Sutton ench shot a 72.

Dailey of Swansea and Dai Rees returned cards of 79. Henry Cotton, Alfred Padgham, Sam King, the veteran James Braid, Arthur, Lacey and J. Pennink, the English cham- pion, could only obtain scores of 74.

A championship record was equalled by the prominent Aus- tralian amateur player, McKay, when he took fourteen strokes at the 14th hole, finishing the round with an aggregate of 87. -Reutor.

ENGLAND'S GOLF TRIUMPH

FRANCE DOES NOT WIN SINGLE GAME

England beat France by the over- whelming margin of eight matches to none, with one halved, in the fifth amatour international golf match at Sunningdale recently, when the home country scored a clean sweep in the six singles.

The foursomes were won by two games to nil, with one halved. Eng-

ably, but the biggest win for England was registered by K. Scott, who had a first round of 69 and held a com- manding advantage of eight holes at that stage.

The results were: J. J Pennink beut F. Leglise, H and 7; L.. G. Craw ley beat M. Larthian, 5 and 3: C.
