London, Jaly, 6-The return to batting form of Bill Edrich, who scored 197 in the match against Derbyshire, and Jack Crapp's century against the Australians must have been the most pleasing features of the matches just Ffinished, from the England sçlector's point of view.

Edrich, retained as a Test probable in the face of strong criticism, drove with power and confidence in both Innings (he scored 133 and 64) and not even such accomt- plished bowlers as Pope, Gladwin and Jackson, all operating four-man leg: traps, could subdue his dynamic hilling.

Crapp, who just beat the Australians to it by completing his century off the last ball but one of Gloucester's first innings, is only the third English batsman to take a century off the present tourists this season. Joe Hardstaff and Dents Compton are the others.

Koreans Impress At Caroline Hill

The Korean Olympic Football team, though playing in a match in which both sides changed players after the first half and the Koreans throughout the game, giving all 17 members of their team a workout, impressed very favourably at Caroline Hill yesterday with a 5-1 victory. over a Hongkong Chinese combination.

The Koreans seemed to have everything to their game that China's Olympic side lacks and lacked every- thing that China's team has. It may be remembered that the Chinese Olympic team did not do half so well against a local Chinese alde that corresponded to some degree to yesterday's local turnout.
