LONDON, Junę 26. (Reuter).-The Scottish Football League have an- nounced that all competi tions have been suspended until the annual meeting in 1941. But it is official- ly stated that there is nothing to prevent a body of Clubs getting together and forming a competition of their own.

Hammond's Effort For The Airmen

(At Lewes) Despite Walter Hammond's great effort of 63, in which his famous cover drives yielded eight 4's; the Royal Air Force lost to Bussex, whose victory was mainly due to the bowling of W. J. Pershke, an old Oxford Blue, who took 6 for 25.

Sussex had to struggle hurd, and only a sixth wicket stand between J. Leclerq and S. Cama (left-handers) enabled them to prevail.
