SURREY COLLECT VITAL FIRST INNINGS POINTS AGAINST LANCASHIRE
London, Aug. 28.
The all-important County Championship game between Surrey and Lancashire is favouring Surrey, who collected the vital four points for a first innings lead today.
As there may not be a definite result with only one day remaining, those points would have been invaluable to Lancashire, who finish their programme with this game, whereas Surrey have one match to play and, even with no result to- morrow, can still tie for the Championship by winning that final fixture.
Today's play opened with some lively bowling for Lancashire from Statham and Dickenson, though the pitch was unhelpful to any type of bowling. Surrey looked to be in a bad way when two wickets fell early, but then May and Parker came together, and after a cautious start began a grand partnership which raised the hundred before lunch.

BRITISH SOCCER PLAYERS' UNION TO MAKE
A
Flat-Out Effort To Abolish Maximum
Wage For
Players
By ARCHIE QUICK
The Players' Union is to make a flat-out effort to get the maximum wage for Soccer professionals abolished and to obtain a revision of the transfer sys- tem.
Chairman Jimmy Guthrie said to me: "The only argument I ever hear for the retention of the maxi-. mum wage is that its abolition would kill team spirit. That is ridiculous. Cricketers, Ragby League men, even baseball stars in America, do not all get paid alike. The star commands what he is worth.
