GLAMORGAN WINS THE

CHAMPIONSHIP

London, Aug. 24.~A jubilant crowd singing Welsh airs gathered out- side the pavilion at Bournemouth today when Glamorgan scored a great in- nings victory over Hampshire, a victory which, with the failure of Yorkshire to win their match against Somerset, gave the country championship to the

•Welsh side for the time in their history.

As on many other occasions, Glamorgan owed much for their vitul win to their 50- year-old slow bowler and Test selector, John Clay. He Inid the foundation of Glamor- gan's success yesterday by taking three wickets for 18 runs and he ended today with a match analysis of nine for 79.

Clay, was expertly assisted in the task of dislodging the Hampshire batsmen by Len Muncer, who took the four remaining first innings wickets today for an analysis of five for 25 and claimed two second innings for 19 runs.

Continental Judges Prefer Rush Boxers

BY ARCHIE QUICK

The old English' classic upright style of boxing with a piston obviously the straight left hand moving like carries no weight with Olymple overseas judges.

Non-stop aggression appears to be preferred by adjudicators who often gave their awards to tear-away fighters when by English rules the point-scoring boxers would have won.

Vietor Tower, South African baa- tam, palmbly outpointed his Argen- tinian opponent, but the latter's rush tartles won him the decision and the crowd shouted their displeasure.

OLYMPIC FAILURES? BUT

BRITAIN WINS-IN SPORTS GEAR

Britain's sports equipment Industry employs today about 9,000 workers. But it is largely a craft industry and consumes only a small quantity of raw materials. Add to these circumstances the fact that British sports' equipment has a world-wide reputation for quality, and Its importance in a 1918 context begins to emerge.

The craft influence has meant that firms are usually small. In 1935, out of 420 establishments, 274 employed on the average less than 10 operatives, At the other extreme,! only 8 employed over 200.

AMERICA WANTS IT

GOLF prospects are closely tied up with the export drive. Even in the United States, which has a capablo sports equipment industry of meeting nearly 100 per cent of

needs, that country'a

high-grade British golt equipment still has a market.

In 1847 the sports equipment in- dustry produced about £7,000,000 worth of goods and exported £1.- 704,312 worth, of which £438,345 was in golf balls and golf materials.

In 1948 export targets have been put considerably above actuni ex- ports in 1947. So a worsening of the Fuw-materials position will be felt acutely in the home market. In 1947 manufacturers turned out 421.200 golf clubs compared with 500,000 In 1935.
