THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN, MONDAY, APRIL 17, 1933 RUGBY UNION GAMES Manchester, Sale, and Heaton Moor All Beaten STRANGE SCENE AT CARDIFF 4 PERSONALITIES OF THE SEASON THE WEST INDIAN CRICKETERS One Great Batsman and Several Good Ones; Moderate Fielding DEPENDENCE ON THE SPIN BOWLERS Bv C. L. R. JAMES. won at Birkenhead Park, but the Old British Guiana supplies only one stroke-making, Sutcliffe in solidity of defence.

His astonishing career There -were unmistakable signs in many Rugby Union games played on Saturday that the end of the season is near. There was slackness in combination, and some tries were scored with much greater ease than they would have been a few weeks ago, Whilst others were lost through carelessness. Manchester were beaten by one point at Kendal, and Sale, after starting well at Gloucester, were mastered by the strong play of the home forwards. Fylde won easily at Heaton Moor, and "Wilmslow beat Preston Grasshoppers in the second when they scored 25 points. North of Ireland, who meet Manchester at Kersal this afternoon, TSport and General A.

L. Novis. A XT TT re -3 England since 1929. This season he displaced C. D.

Aarvold as England's left wing three-quarter and captain after the Welsh match, and played against Ireland and Scotland. He also captained the Army team. ONE-POINT MARGIN Manchester Beaten at Kendal A FORWARDS' GAME Kendal 6, Manchester 5 At Kendal on Saturday Kendal beat Manchester by one penalty goal and one try to one goal. It was the first meeting of the clubs and they were well matched. Manchester lost because they did not make good use of a strong wind in the first half, when they obtained a lead of no more than live points to three.

In the second half Manehestei rarely threatened, but Kendal's only score was a penalty goal, though Ainsworth had to touch down to save his line on nine occasions. There was little handling, and on both sides the forwards did most of the attacking. G. S. Wilson was Manchester's best three-quarter, while A.

L. Crossley shone at stand-off half-back. T. A. Bell scored Manchester's try, Inch Wilson converted.

J. O. Morns cored try and Martindale kicked a penalty goal. KENDAL G- Baker: P. Honkinson.

WILMSLOW RECOVER 25 Points Scored in the Second Half Wiluislow 25, Preston Grasshoppers 6 Although Preston Grasshoppers led at the interval at Wilmslow by a try to nothing, Wilmslow beat them by 'four goals (one dropped) and two tries to two tries. Both teams were below their usual strength, and in the first half Wilmslow phiyed poor football. They found much more enei'-'y after the interval and scored 16 iJmts in the last quarter of an hour.

Tries were scored for Wilmslow by Dodge (3). Middleton. and Hampton, Houh, G. W. Kidson, and Middleton converted three.

J. Kidson dropped a coal. Preston's tries were scored by H. C. Colman and Cook.

HOLME WANDERERS LOSE Holme Wanderers 3, Birkenhaed Park A fl Holme Wanderers, at home, tere beaten by Birkenhead Park A hy two goals (oue penalty) and one try to one try. W. A. S. Hall had failed with two good efforts to kick penalty goals for the Wanderers, when K.

Hughes took a penalty kick against them and gave the visitors the lead. A little later, however, Hall equalised by gaining the touch as the ball rolled over the Park line, hut the speed of the Birkenhead backs and the weight of their forwards turned the same in the visitors' favour. N. Steele, Birkenhead's stand-off half-back, was often threatening, and he thoroughly deserved the two tiies he scored, one" oi which Hughes converted. RESULTS LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE.

Blues lost to Waterloo, of whose 21 points 18 were scored by the Meikle brothers. There was a rare scene on the Cardiff ground, which has the reputation of being the wettest in Wales. Water has sometimes had to be drawn off it by pumps, but on Saturday it was so hard that in order to make it fit for the Cardiff and Barbarians' match thousands of gallons of water were poured on to it through firemen's hose. Cardiff were beaten, and three of the tries scored against them were obtained by Elliot, the English stand-ojf LIVELY IRISHMEN Birkenhead Park Well Beaten FAST WING RUNNERS Birkenhead Park 14, North of Ireland 24 In their last homo match Birkenhead Park were beaten by North of Ireland in a fast and open game by three goals and three tries to two goals (one penalty) and two tries. F.

C. Cockle and T. C. Knowles were unable to assist the Park, and the substitutes, G. B.

Hodson and A. V. Rogers, were not experienced enough to cope with the cleverness of the Irishmen. The Park forwards gained possession in three of every four scrummages, but, apart from Roberts, the scrummage half-back, and R. E.

Bibby and J. B. Charles, the left wing three-quarters, the backs were deficient in defence. North of Ireland scored 14 points in the first fifteen minutes. The Park made up some of the leeway in the second half, and raised their points from three to 14, but North of Ireland were always the better team.

The Irish forwards scrummaged well, and were usually up in time to support their three-quaiters. S. L. Waide, the international, and L. Malcolm-son on the wings were in fine form, and of the six tries scored by North of Ireland Malcolmson scored three and Waide two.

The sixth was scored hy Gabbey in a forward rush. Elliott (2) and Malcolmson kicked" the goals. J. B. Charles (2) and Bibby scored the Park tries, and Bibby converted one and kicked a penalty goal.

I. IISUU. HEATON MOOR FALL Unable to Hold Fylde Backs Heaton Moor 9, Fylde 25 Heaton Moor ended their season on Saturday, when they were beaten at home by Fylde by four goals (one dropped) and two tries to three tries. Fylde were without Poynder at half-hack, and the Moor, who had several substitutes, included Gresty, a youth, at half-back. As usual.

Heap, Taylor, Bullivant, Worthington, and Carter were the floor's best players, but the play was not skilful, the wind and the light ball interfering with many plans. Fylde had Rood forwards in Hinton, Hartley, Lord, and Thornton, and Wood did much good work at stand-off half- bacK, whilst w. a. riail Kicked cleverly. With the wind behind them Fylde made many attacks, and after the ball had been kicked dead three times and E.

Ogden had hit the bar with a drop kick Cotton obtained a try and Ogden kicked a goal. Heap, Gresty, Hall, and Worthington made a brief Moor raid, and then Fylde raised their score to seventeen. Estcourt dropped a goal, Lord scored a try, which Ogden converted, and Badger raced from the left wing and scored near the corner on the right. The Moor improved, and from a combined movement in which Heap, Taylor, McKay, and Worthington partici pated scored. UNIVERSITIES' UNION TOUR Torquay and Exmouth Several more changes have become necessary in the Universities Athletic Union team which is to play Torquay to-day and Exmouth to-morrow.

B. T. Jones, Helfet, Havelock, and Redvers Davies have all withdrawn from the touring side during the last few days, the last three owing to injuries. D. P.

Hickey (Manchester) will take the place of Jones on the wing, and G. H. Moore (Manchester) will play as scrum-half. H. C.

Butterheld (Manchester) and E. O. Walker (Bristol) will fill the front row vacancies and the full team will be as follows H. Sift (LiTerpool): J. P.

Of the side which toured in Wales at Christmas, all the backs are playing again except F. Lloyd (Baneor), who is replaced bv Hickey, but of the forwards all except Villiams and Ellis are new.

SOUTHPORT BEATEN AT HOME Southport 3, New Brighton 9 Southport failed to use the strong wind they had behind them during the first half of their game with New Brighton at Hillside on Saturday and they were beaten by a penalty goal and two tries to a penalty goal. For ten minutes they pressed heavily, and only good work by Dickinson, tha New Brighton full-back, kept them oat. A. S. Kane put New Brighton ahead by scoring a try, and G.

B. Rogans equalised for Southport with a penalty kick taken from the centre line. In the second half the New Brighton wing three-quarters were often- prominent, and although South-port defended desperately Adams scored a try and Parsons kicked a penalty goaL cannot even be outlined in this article it is sufficient to say that he stands not on the order of his going for the bowling, is a master of on-side play, and loves to jump in to drive. Martin played finely in the Tests in 1928, but Martin is over forty, and, as Challcnor found to bis cost in 1928, it is difficult to maintain form at that age, coming from haphazard club cricket iu the West Indies to the stern test of an English, season. Given his true form, Martin will bat well in typical English Test-match style, for both in bauing and in bowling he is a slow left-hander.

Hoad is another nne aeiensive oats-man; he was in England iu 1928, but could not go to Australia. But he, alas is not far from forty, and so is C. A. Wiles, who might well have come iu 1923, probably should have come in 1928. and most 'certainly should have rrnnB tn Australia in 1930.

Bv no means dull, he makes his two-hundrcd- and-first run and he has readied ir, several times with the same care and concentration with which he makes his first. Koach's batting is well known in England. On him. as opening bats man, a great responsibility falls. He did not do as well as ne niignt nave done in Australia, but fortunately he is likely to be at his best year.

Short and a nick on his feet, he is a supple cornbination of enterprising aggression and watchlul detence. Grant's Development Headley, Roach, and Grant form a nucleus which should atone for some of the shortcomings of their elders. Grant batted well, if not with distinction, at Cambridge, but in Australia, though a sadly overburdened captain, he played better and better and finished head of the Test averages, earning great praise from responsible Australian critics. Merry is a young player, a tall, courageous boy with a lovely swing and beautiful timing. When I saw him last he was wisely at work improving his defence, and recent reportB comment on his increased soundness.

Ben Sealey is a better bat, far more versatile in attack and more experienced. With his bowling, fine fielding, untiring energy, and good humour, he should have been in a West Indies side before, but there is no doubt that he had a hole in his bat somewhere. This he seems to have repaired since the Barbados tournament two years ago. Da Costa is a careful on-side batsman, and he and Ben Sealey are the all-rounders of the side. Barrow, the wicket-keeper, can bat Martindale is not negligible and Valentine scores at the rate of a run minute, though not for many minutes.

The fielding is the only department of vhich one can Bpeak with some certainty. It is not likely to be of Test class. The 'shadow" eleven for tha first Test will contain some -slowcoaches; at its best it will be but competent. Really brilliant fielders are few, and too many of the best players have passed the age when thev can be expected to shine in the field. It is a difficult team to forecast upon.

There is a mixture of age and youth, but the old are a trifle old atid the yourig rather Should Martin, Griffith, Hoad, and Wiles from the start play up to capacity, the team is good enough to beat England in a Test match, or, less heroically, fight successful rearguard actions. Perhaps the real problem is this: Will they find themselves as a side? Much will depend on the captain, much on the summer. Should it be fair, win or lose, no one who sees a partnership between Headley and Roach is Iikelv to forget it. One does not often find on the same side two men sound in defence who yet, whatever the pace of the bowling will hit fours anywhere from third-man to fine-leg, not excluding extra-cover. An article hy Mr.

on G. Headlev. the great West Indian batsman, will appear to-morrow. Cricket WEST INDIANS ARRIVE First Practice To-day The West Indies team arrived in London yesterday. The of fourteen players (another, E.

L. G. tioau, is travelling by a later boat), and they were welcomed at the station by Mr. W. Findlay, secretary of the M.C.C., and Mr.

E. H. Mallett, who has arranged their programme for them. The team will have their first practice this afternoon at the net at Lord's. HURWORTH HUNT POINT-TO-POINT The Hurworlh Huat Point-to-Point Haces were held at Ingleby Cross, in Cleveland, on Saturday and attracted a crowd of several thousand spectators.

COLLECTOR CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT Arthur Bedhead (36). of Hawthorn Cottages, South Hetton. late collector to Easrington Guardians Committee, was remanded for eight days at 'Castle Eden on Saturday, charged with embezzlinz 13 1 and 1 the of Durham County Public Assistance Committee. Bail was himself in 20 member of tho West Indies team which reached this country yesterday he is E. Christiani, the reserve wicket-keeper, a boy of eighteen years.

Jamaica supplies nve: u. Headley, who made two Test centuries in Australia and a thousand runs in the first-class season F. Martin, whose last innings in big cricket was a Test century against Australia; I. Barrow, the wicket-keeper in Australia H. Valentine, and O.

Da Costa. Valen tine and Da Costa are new-comers, but in the trials played in Trinidad they and Passalaigue (another Jamaican who failed to find a place) impressed observers with their fine style. The solitary selection from British Guiana means the abandonment of the old plan of apportioning members equally between the islands. The strength of the Jamaica contin gent is the direct outcome of their recent policy of having a strong English team visit Jamaica every spring to play a few matches. Trinidad supplies the captain, G.

0. Grant, an old Cambridge blue who captained in Australia a. itoacn, who has toured both in Eutrland and in Australia; and four new-comers C. A. Wiles, B.

Sealev. E. Aehnnir. and O. Merry.

Barbatlos (sadly fallen from her high estate) sends onlv three this ume n. o. xioau. the batsman ot the 1928 team; H. C.

Griffith, the well-known fast bowler; and E. A. Martindale. The Bowlers The basis of such success as the West Indies have achieved in England has been fast bowling Woods in 1900, Ollivierre in 1906 (7 for 12 in one innings v. Yorkshire on a perfect wicket).

John and Frnmis in lswa Francis, Constantine, and Griffith in 1928. J. his time neither Francis nor Constantine will be available for many matches not even all the Tests. Th team, therefore, relies for pace on Griffith and Martindale. Griffith bowled finely in Australia, hut took some time to get into form also he is 39.

In his favour is the fact that he is a first-class athlete, but 39 is 39. Griffith has improved in subtlety and is to-day a skilful bowler; but I believe mac the hrst business of a fast bowler is to bowl fast. That Martindale certainty will do. He is young, strong, and can in-swing the new ball. He is fellow-countrvman tn Griffith who will show him the ropes, and Martindale should do well.

He has been faster than Griffith for some time now. Valentine is the other man of some pace a tall, slim bowler with a quick off-break and a fine length. The problem bowler of the side is Ellis Achong slow to medium left-hand. On his success or failure' much will depend. He is powerfully built, can bowl all day.

and will nr'oh'ahlv sm'n his leg-break quickly away on the best wicitec ne meets in England. He can flight the ball and keens a orood Iprnrf.b In a wet summer he would get a uuiiurea wieKers easily. A dry summer, on the other hand holn considerably in developing his subtlety and awareness. Ben Sealey is a right- naiia, meaium-pacea Dowier who spins the ball both ways and every now and then makes either break come faster from the pitch. He, like Achong, is as hard as iron, and the two, both Trinidadians, should get through a lot of work.

They, rather than the fast bowlers, are likely to be the base of the pyramid. Da Costa, from Jamaica, is another right-hand, medium-paced bowler. Headley, 22 years -of age, is one of the greatest of living batsmen, and this law tour is his hnal testing-ground. Bradman was the only Australian better than he in 1930-1. In England Duleepsinhji and the occasional Hammond are his only equals in WOMEN'S LEAGUES FESTIVAL The first day's play in the festival organised by the English Ladies' League Hockey Association at Cringle Fields Park, Manchester, was most successful.

Tiie tournament is being decided in two sections, and two teams in each were un beaten in section A Stockport League and Balshaw's Old Girls, and in section Stockport League A and Holcam. It was surprising to find that in almost every matcli in which a club met a representative league team, the club was successful. Manchester S.S. Union who won the tournament last year, were beaten by Stockport in the opening game in A section, and they will be fortunate if they reach the final stage now. The matches to-day between Stockport and Balshaw's and Stockport A and Holcam will probably decide which two teams are to meet in the finai between the winners of the two sections.

Hockey OXFORD FESTIVAL Strong Team from Cologne The Oxford hockey festival began on Saturday in fine weather. Ten teams are taking part, one French, one Belgian, two German, one Irish, and five Enclish. The Cambridge University Wanderers were lucky to draw with the Racing Club de Paris, mistakes in the French defence giving them their two goals. Beckenhain, for whom Paterson was brilliant in goal, gained a decisive win over the Buccaneers in the morning, ibut were themselves well beaten by Cologne Kinkadetten in the afternoon. Tho Cologne team had played a drawn game with Oxford University in the morning, the Oxford goalkeeper, Little, repeatedly saving his side in the second half.

Cologne were too good for Beckenham in the afternoon, gaining a runaway victory after being a goal down at half- time.

Tile Old Blues had an excellent pack of forwards, and had an advantage in the scrummages, where Waterloo were weakened by the absence oi Watcyn Thomas. Waterloo, however, countered the aggressive scrummage work of Pearce, Garrard, and Hobden with clever handling and fast running in winch S. S. C. Meikle and G.

'W. C. Meikle played im-Iiortaut' parts The younger Meikle was in his best form, and scored two brilliant tries which he converted before the Old Blues opened their account, and afterwards he scored a third try. Butler and S. S.

Meikle also scored, and G. Foulds improved one of their tries. For the Old Blues G. E. Wells was impressive on the left wing, and his try was scored cleverly.

Sale started splendidly, and from one of 'fcYgral pretty movements Wooller scored a -try, but Sever, Davey, and Wooller had few chances after that. The Gloucester forwards took charge of the tight scrums, and Noden and Street weie only rarely able to feed the men behind them. The Halo, forwards, well led by Scott, lacked the' aH-round cleverness of the Gloucester and in hooking Carpenter generally got the better of Oookson. Reynolds, Cropland, and Mortou did well, but on the whole the Gloucester foiwards were smarter jtfcud faster in the looe and worked the lines out to greater advantage. Noden's duel with Fifield went in favour of the Gloucester half-back, and Street had to make his own chances.

The first formation of the Sale three-quarters was changed with the idea of strengthening the defence, Wooller going inside, but Gloucester's constant attacks could not all be met despite close marking and strenuous tackling. Whenever Sale's three-quarters were in possession they were dangerous, but they had few chances. Wooller opened the scoring with a try, but after that Gloucester did all the -coring until near the end, when Croston dropped a goal. For Gloucester, Sheppard scored two tries, of which Boughton converted one. Boughton also kicked two penalty goals, and James dropped a goal.

ELLIOT IN FORM Three Tries for Barbarians at Cardiff Cardiff 13, Barb.tri.ins 17 Cardiff offered strong resistance to a powerful Barbarian side at Cardiff Arms Park, but were defeated by a goal and four tries to two goals and a try. A crowd of 15,000 enjoyed a capital struggle on turf which had to be treated with thousands of gallons of water before it could be brought to a condition deemed fit for play. A telling factor in favour of the Barbarians was'the smart heeling of their forwards and the excellent form of Elliot, the England stand-off half-back. Elliot had a hand in nearly all the passing movements, and he scored three tries. The Barbarians scored first, Boss get-tine; a trv, which Kendrew converted, but Cardiff soon took the lead, Gabe Jones and Skyni crossing and Stone placing oue goal.

Near halt-time, however, Elliot equalised. The Barbarians added tries in the second half through Elliot (two) and land. While near the end Barrel! cot over for Cardiff and Stone converted the try.
