'SOUTHPAW' GESTURE
NO POINT FOR GLAMORGAN
FROM THE FIRST
MATCH OF THE SEASON
London, May 2.-A great spell by the England fast medium bowler, Alec Bedser, which enabled Surrey to take first innings 'points against Glamorgan, and a faultless century by Murray Hofmeyr, Oxford Univer- sity's South African batsman, were the highlights of today's cricket.
After the brief summerlike spell yesterday, rain again took a part today, interrupting three of the four matches.
Alee Bedser took six for 18 for Surrey in the first County match of the senson to help rob Glamorgan of the first fanings lead which, at the overnight clone, they seemed virtually certain to get.

With the arrival of the annual reports of the various county cricket clubs one cannot help but bo impressed by the great strength of Yorkshire. That club towers above all others in resources, on and off the field, although this does not necessarily make a championship side.

After all these years Ellis Robinson has retired from count cricket to go to the Leagues while Brian Close, the boy Test player, will not be available, firstly because he is in the Army, and secondly because he is in hospital at Catterick with a broken leg sustained at football.
