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.
