Secondly, how did the English team come to be beaten by the United The answer this writer gives to the first question is that football in Brazil is first class and the Brazilian national team was extremely unlucky not to be erowned the World Champions.

FRENCH SQUADRON NEW FAVOURITE FOR THE CESAREWITCH

London, Oct, 9.

Lord Astor's French Squadron, who will be ridden by the Champion Jockey, Gordon Richards, was tonight mado a 10 to 1 favaurite for Wednesday's Cesarewlich Handicap when the card was called over at the Victeria Club here. His price was cut by four points from the last callover's quotation.

The favourite for the Cambridgeshire, Socrates, was reduced from 8 to 1 19 7 to 1. This race is being run on October 25.

The betting on both rates was heavy and all the henes quoted came in for support.

SWEDEN SEVENTH?

Joe Louis, former undefeated Heavyweight Champlon of the World, came out of retirement to be defeated by Ezzard Charles in New York after 15 gruel- ling rouxals in one of the best fights of the last two decades.

36-year-old Joe Louis lost on points to a younger, stronger and faster man, but he went out in a blaze of glory. "I'm through" he said afterwards. "I just didn't have it. I did my best. I just didn't have it in any department." It is hoped that the new champlon will meet Lee Savold in London next year.-Express Wire Photo.
