A•
SLUMAN,
of
Battersea
County School, is only just 14,
but he is one of the most promising
schoolboy centre-forwards in the
country. A regular member of the
South London Boys' XI last
season, he appeared in a schoolboy
international trial match and
might have gained his cap but for
ill-health. This season he has
already played for London against
Manchester in a floodlit match.
J± NEW cricket organisation—the
Association of Cricket Umpires
—has been formed, with Douglas
Jardine, former England Test
Captain, as president, and Frank
Chester as vice-president.
The
association hopes to organise
courses for umpires and teachers
all over the country, thus improving the standard of umpiring in all
classes of cricket.
JJRIAN
Y
E T
another county cricket club
has appointed a professional
to captain the side next season.
All lovers of the game will feel
that Douglas Wright fully desrves
the honour to captain Kent. He
made his county debut in 1932,
has taken over 1700 wickets with
his leg-break bowling, and has
appeared 34 times for ffngland.
"Y\TnnN a British athlete beats an
existing record, he receives a
commemorative plaque. Recently,
Gordon Pirie was presented with
14 of these plaques—all gained
during the past season. Actually,
he should have received 26, but
an athlete breaking the same
record more than once during a
season can only receive one
plaque.
^"EARLY an hour before he was
expected at the finishing post,
Wally Hayward, the 45-year-old
South African long-distance champion, completed the run from Bath
to London, having covered the
100 miles in 12 hours 20 minutes
28 seconds. Hayward holds every
distance record in his own country.
J^ PAIR of homing pigeons will be
used by a Soccer team at
Thetford, Norfolk, to fly home
half-time and full-time scores of
the club's away matches.
BARR,
17-year-old
Wat-
ford table tennis star, who
has been playing the game for
only two years, receives his
first international honour when
he plays for England's boys' team
against Sweden at Worthing, on
Monday. Another member of the
team is 16-year-old Michael McLaren, who recently made his
international debut in the junior
match with Germany.
A>F
.WILLINGHAM, the
Birming-
ham amateur cyclist, of the
Concorde club, is the 1953 British
League of Racing Cyclists' hill
climb champion. He ascended the
3}-mile course a t Snake Hill,
Derbyshire, in 16. minutes 7.6
seconds, to set u p a new record
and beat the professional cyclists
who competed.
J^EO
PARNELL has long been one
of Britain's most famous
racing motorists; now another
Parnell, nephew Roy, is to take
part in the sport—as a car tester.
'JJHE annual four-mile Runners v.
Cyclists cross-country race at
Sompting, Sussex, was won for the
second year in succession by
Aubrey Dockett of Worthing
Excelsior. All ten of these races
have been won by the cyclists, but
the team prize has been taken
eight times by the Worthing
Harriers.
