Second Test Match

ENGLAND NEED 383 RUNS IN SIX HOURS' PLAY WITH SIX WICKETS TO FALL

It was deserving of boundary, but John Goddard, the West Indies captain, dived to the right and held a brilliant catch. Parkhouse was out for 48, but bad showed his worth as a English player after

Sports Now Finally Of Racial Bars

BY CORNELIUS

RYAN

New York

With the capitulation of bowling and professional basketball, American sports finally are free of racial bars. The American Bowling Congress, which has had a "white males only" clause since 1916, and the Women's International Bowling Congress both have eliminated racially restrictive clauses, and now Negroes, Orientals, Filipinos and American Indians can be members of bowling leagues and can compete in national tournaments.

The AKC. retreating with ill grace under legal attacks by various states, said that it still is up to. city associations to "decide the acceptability of their members." This is a flimsy and barren excuse, apparently designed to allow cities in the Southern USA to retain their bins. However, the great body of bowling associations, includ- ing the huge industrial leagues involving almost every factory in eagerly welcome the men and women now eligible.
