COUNTY CRICKET STANDINGS
London, June 21.-Although Glamorgan and Derby- shire have useful leads in the County cricket champion- ship tablo, it la still anybody's title.
Points dropping lapses by Middlesex and last year's runners-up, Gloucestershire, the consistency of Gloucester- shire and Derbyshire, together with the much improved form shown by Yorkshire, Essex and Warwickshire, have put the County champlonship in the melting pot.
No side among the 17 counties in the championship can boast of an unbeaten record.-Reuter.

Louis In For A Surprise?
Grenloch, New Jersey, June 20-Supporters of Jersey Joe Walcott at this converted amusement, park where the challenger is training predicted today that champion Joe Louis is in for the surprise of his life on Wednesday night in the Yankee Stadium, New York.
But sportswriters from all parts of this country as well as Britain and Aus- tralla generally agreed, as they watched Walcott training, that "he would not do that with Louis-in there,"
The remark was prompt. ed by the fact that Jersey Joc was obviously just re- hearsing moves and not being too careful.
And secondly, many of the writers have a regard for Louis that amounts al- most to reverence and even those who think he will lose keep looking for in- dications that he might win.
The 34-year-old challen- ger now weighs 197 pounds as compared to 194 on December 5 when he lost
