Douglas Wright Takes Seven Wickets For 60 Runs

THE

FOLLOW-ON

BY TWO RUNS

Perth, Oct. 23.

West Australia, Former Sheffield Shield winners, saved the follow- on against the MCC touring side here today by two runs. They were all out for 236 runs, which was 198 runs behind the visitors declared total of 434 ruhs for the loss of nine wickets, and the margin for a follow-on under Australian rules i: 200 and more.

Scoring four runs without loss in their second innings, the MCC finished the day 202 runs ahead and for this happy position they owed almost everything so far as today's play was concerned to Douglas Wright.

Producing one of the best performances of his career, he took seven wickets for 60 runs and, what is more, he forced a stroke with nearly every one of the 165 balls he sent down. His length could not be faulted, and he made his googly lift and whip across, and varied this with leg and top pinners, which though turning so much went through fast.

BY CORNELIUS ROBINSON

Art Larsen, the 1950 American Lawn Champion, isn't the greatest champion on the list, but he probably is the most nervous and the most superstitious.

On the court or off, Larsen is a taut bundle of nerves. He puts on his socks in a special way each day, left foot first. He walks onto the tennis court in a special way, stepping on certain lines and stepping over others,

LET THE REFEREE DECIDE ON SUBSTITUTES

Says JOHN MACADAM

How long will the Soccer hierarchy keep on burying Its head in the sand over this question of substitutions In League matches?

The FA have fallen in with FIFA idens on the sub ject so far as international matches are concerned, but; they still refuse to countenance the system in internal' games.

Why this should be so is hard to say. The only ob vious reasons are that (a) Substitution was not part of the game's regulations at the start, and therefore is re- garded with suspicion, and (b) It is open to abuses,
