CONTRAST IN STYLES

County Cricket HANTS BEAT MIDDLESEX

BY NINE WICKETS

IN ONE-DAY MATCH

London, May 9.-The sun shone in many parts of the country to- Early day but cricket before lunch was possible in only two games. lunches were taken at four grounds before starts were made and the games at Cambridge and Peterborough were abandoned.

At Lords, play between Middlesex and Hampshire began for the first time at about one o'clock. Hampshire won this one-day match by nine wickets, with over an hour and a half to spare.

Middlesex appeared too eager to snatch the eight points for a one-day win runs. Hamp- and the batsmen threw away their wickets in a reckless quest for shire bowled and fielded splendidly.

Cannings, in his first appearance for Hampshire, kept one end going for one and three-quarter hours, during which he took three for 21. Humpshire's opening pair, McCorkell and Rogers, put them in sight of victory with a partnership of 86. Rogers included two sixes and seven fours in his 75, which occupied 110

To Shake Off Its "Ping-pong" Foibles

SAYS SYDNEY SKILTON

LONDON-Unless table tennis shukes off its folbles of "Ping-pong" its days as a crowd-pulling spectacle are numbered. I say that after watching, the 1950 English Open Championships which, because of their wide international entry, are rated second only to the World Championships. The semifinals and finals were con- lested during two days at Wembley and I doubt whether the famous north London arena has ever accommodated more fidgety or bored audiences.

Instead of the moves and countermoves by agile competitors making ferocious drives across the table we had prolonged Ping-pong rallies by ultra defensive players who drove the spectators to distraction.

SCOTLAND STILL OF TWO MINDS ABOUT RIO TRIP

SAYS ARCHIE QUICK

over

Whether Scotland go to Rio or not for the World Soccer competition one thing is certain. The Scottish Football Association has been split in two the question...Old timer Secretary George Graham has always been adamant that the Scots would go only as champions. That is they had to win or draw at Hampden against England. They lost 1-6 and Graham promptly announced that the provisional sailing from Southampton on June 9 would be cancelled.

Newcomer Provost John Lamb of Arbroath who has recently become President of the Scottish FA, however, is in direct opposition to this attitude and he revealed to me that there was recently a secret meeting of the Association at which he proposed the Rio trip should be mado in any circumstances and he was defeated by less than a two-thirds_majority vote. That means that the forces for and against are about equally balanced,

Candidly. I cannot see Scot- land reversing her decision, especially as Graham in such a power, but I can .see some resignations from the Council later on.
