ROLY JENKINS BRINGS ON TAKIN

YORKSHIRE COLLAPSE

London, May 23.—Bowlers were again on top in most County Cricket matches today. The unexpected collapse of Yorkshire against Roland Jenkins, of Worcestershire, provided one of the highlights of the day's play.

Yorkshire lost nine wickets for 111 today, Jenkins taking five of them for 30. Hutton remained unbeaten with 78 and had the distinction of balting through a complete innings for the first time in his career and became the ninth Yorkshire player to do so..

Eric Bedser bowled well on a responsive wicket for Surrey to gain a first innings lead at Birmingham. The four remaining Warwickshire wickets fell in half an hour this morning.

Australia Has Some New Empire Games Prospects

BY ERN COWLEY

Edwin Carr won the quarter-mille at the Sydney Cricket Ground, where Herb McKenley and Lloyd La Beach also 'competed on the first day of the Aus tralian Athletic championships recently, and if has set the question: Is the son of "Slip" Carr better than Morris Curotta and John Bartram?

Curotta did not compoto in the Australian title race but will shortly defend his New South Wales title and then; it is believed, give away" the; quarter and concentrate on 100 and 200 yards sprints, with the British Empire Games in New Zealand, 1950, as an objective.

Fencing Becoming A More Popular English Sport

Women took their full part in London last week-end in a big test of swordsmanship-a, sport spreading its appeal all over the country, 4,250 people, indeed, are now accomplished duciiiats.

Once fencing was taught here only in scarce academies and the universi- ties. Today there are 200 clubs. The Ministry of Education finances the em- ployment of a full-time coach, now touring Britain teaching teachers. He is Roger Crosnier, conch of the French national team who swept the board at last year's Olympic games.

Leaders of the 1000 women] who fence are Mrs Glen Haig, Olympic finalist, and Miss Arbuthnott, twico women's champion.
