BASTIN REVIVAL LOOKED FOR

London, Aug. 2.

Those who have predicted the decline of the Arsenal for five or six years may one day be right, but so long as their defence retains its soundness no serious harm will befall them. Male and Hapgood are still incomparable backs, and it is not a reflection' on Sproston to say that Male would still be in the England team except for official hostility towards the club.
