IT'S A WRIGHT BALL

CUP FINAL AND LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP STRUGGLE HOLD THE SPOTLIGHT

London, Apr. 27.-Though the Cup final tusscle between Ar- senal and Liverpool will undoubtedly overshadow the rest of next Saturday's football programme, interest in the League Champion- ship race will be intense.

Portsmouth, who are within sight of retaining the title they won last year, have a home match on Saturday, but their nearest rivals, Wolverhampton Wan- derers and Blackpool, have away games.

Wolverhampton Wanderers, two points behind Portsmouth, are strong enough to snatch a point against the moderate Bolton Wanderers, but Blackpool look like having a harder task against Stoke, who are a very useful side on their own ground.

There is not a first-class cricketer in this country who will not want to con gratulate James Langridge on being made captain of Sussex, even though the appointment is only of the "caretaker" sort.

General feeling now is that the storm in Sussex cricket has now subsided. Langridge, whom everyone likes, is a shrewd, solid, knowledgeable country- man, tremendously keen on Sussex cricket, steeped at 43 in cricket experience. He told my Brighton reporter:
