THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1935 Golf Cricket Association Football BOLTON'S VICTORY Brentford Beaten by Two Goals Lawn Tennis BRITISH HARD COURT TITLES Perry to Meet Prenn: Austin Shows Excellent Form ENGLISH AMATEUR MEETING Six Former Champions in the Last Thirty-Two ROY LANCASHIRE'S ONLY SURVIVOR (From our Special Correspondent.) KENT LEADING Leicester Collapse After Tea WOOLLEY'S CENTURY Three men scored 209 of the 242 runs made by Kent against Leicestershire in 135 minutes at Gravesend yesterday. A slow pitch and keen fielding on dead turf could not check Woolley, who lifted an on-drive over the boundary for six, and MRS. WHITTINGSTALL BEATS CHILEAN Sampson. By an Old International. Bolton Wanderers 2, Brentford 0 At Burnden Park, Bolton, last night, before 47,000 distraught colliers and cotton operatives, Bolton Wanderers disputed with Brentford the right to accompany them into the First Division of the Football League.

Bolton, won 2 0 by goals from Milsom and G. T. Taylor. The pity is that Milsom's goal wa extremely doubtful, the sort that lies at the root of the agitation for two referees. One point from their game at Blackpool on Saturday will now give Bolton promotion.

The match began like a pastoral. An Arcadian sweetness of temper suffused quick struggle. After being one down at the fourth he won four holes in succession, but Bray had twos at the short holes and squared at the four SOUTH AFRICANS UNLUCKY Rain at Worcester No play was possible yesterday in the South African cricket team's first county match, at Worcester. After a spell of fine weather rain began to fall at three o'clock in the morning, and fell steadily until midday. The wicket, which had been covered, was not damaged, but the outfield was soaked, and as there came no sunshine or wind to improve the conditions the captains agreed at two o'clock to give up hope of play for the day.

The South Africans did not select their team, preferring to wait till there wqb a prospect of plav. FRESHMEN AT OXFORD Interesting Play Much interesting cricket took place in the University freshmen's match at Oxford yesterday. Rain prevented play before two o'clock, and later batsmen fared badly Mitchell-Innes's side lost half their wickets for 15 runs and eight men were out for 83. The early collapse was brought about by B. Scott and M.

C. Mortimer, both medium-pace right- hand bowlers. Scott had four men close 1 in on the leg; side for his in-swingers, and his first victim, T. N. Leigh Bennett, was out under the new lbw rule.

Pilking-1 ton defied the attack for ten minutes i under an hour, and Darwall-Smith and Milman made a useful stand. Altogether Hollixweli, Wednesday. The six men who have won the English amateur golf championship since 1928 are among the 32 players who will continue the struggle for this year's title to-morrow. They have all done well to-day, and even S. Lunt, the holder, did not alarm his supporters when he was taken to the last green by a Hollinwell player, as those supporters know that he enjoys nothing better than fighting in a tight corner.

Tolley, who is probably the favourite, is playing excellent golf, and of the hitherto little-known players A. S. G. Thompson, a graceful and hard hitter, is making a great impression. Cheshire ia strongly represented by Sutton and Woollitm, but Lancashire's only remaining representative is lloy, of Formby.

The chief surprises of the day have been the defeats of De Forest, a former British champion, and two Walker Cup players, Hartley and H. G. Bentley, but there may bo more to-morrow, especially if the weather keeps as cold as it has been to-day. The earliest events of the day were the defeats of Sidebottom, who played moderately, and the Bedford Kugby half-back, by Thompson, a foi nicr 331ackhcath full-back, and victories for De Forest and E. W.

Fiddian. De Forest only scraped hrouirh against Spencer, of Bkieknoo North Shore, hut Fiddian, against i most (riuddcrsheltl), continued Jus improvement, hitting his lonu; shots cicanly and straight and making only one mistake on the greens. Meanwhile Tolley was hating a great struggle with Buckley, of Birmingham, in a match of excellent iiolt. After three good halves Tolley fell behind through takin-r three putts, ami no also lost tne httli. where hoth were, bunkered and Buckley holed from ten feet and Tolley missed from three feet.

The game began to turn at the seventh, where Buckley took three putts, and thev were square at the ninth, where Tolley holed a chip of ri. 1. iiicccn yarns mr a two. At the next hole Tolley fluffed a chip and was beaten, a mistake Buckley imitated at the eleventh. Tnlley went ahead for the hrst time at the twelfth, and another two with a seven-foot putt at the thirteenth save him a bi'r advantage.

Although Buckley fought wen an tne way, ttie game ended at the seventeenth. Ridgway Beats Tyldesley In an all-WorsIey match Ridgway, who played fine golf at the first five holes and won three of them, beat Tyldesley three and two, with the help of two stymies on the homeward half and a holed chip shot at the thirteenth. Kelhck auiain gave proof that the handicap of an artificial leg can be overcome, and in a match with another man who also had to go beyond the usual distance yesterday he won at the twentieth" he would have won at the eighteenth but for a stymie, saved the nineteenth by holinrr a five-yard putt, and settled the issue with a brilliant shot over the hill at the twentieth which gave him a birdie three. Crawley, last year's runner-up, played his first match in the competition, auainst Bray (Halesowen), and just won a By E. 3.

Bournemouth, Wednesday. Owing to rain no play was possible in the British hard court lawn tennis meeting here until the afternoon. It was dull and cheerless, and foothold uncertain. The meu serai-fnialists are Perry, Prenn, Farqiiharsou, and Austin, so that no favourites have fallen. Perry beat Peters in three straight sets, but only after 38 games had been played.

One heard the remark "Perry is not playing like a world champion if he takes so long to beat Peters," but the speaker did not properly estimate Peters, who plays a fjaine all his own, so that your fierce fighting, hard hitting, net-rushing exponent soon gets the impression that he is battling against a feather pillow. Watch Peters trying to serve, hitting for all he knows and yet achieving no pace, mouth open for each delivery, making all ground strokes with his tongue out as he strikes and again never producing speed. At intervals comes that good length looped return on which he sometimes comes to the net. He is a good volleyer and his accuracy of return is extraordinary. Then it must be remembered that the slow court was in his favour.

Perry, in due course, began to trade slow for slow or else would try for an ace and make mistakes. In the third set Peters had a chance for 5 3, but Perry recovered ms concentration ana in tie last game, when leadins? forty-love, ex- Mrs. Fearnley Whittingstall. pressed his feelincts by going all oub for a second service and making a crasnmg torehand winner. After al! this Perry had a broken blister, and peters Had worthily upheld his reputation as a difficult man to beat on a slow hard court.

Prenn beat Sharpe with something to spare after a somewhat nervous start once in full stride Prenn was the better man and, being a sound strategist, he lured Sharpe from his favourite baseline and then successfully passed him or scored with a nice stop volley at the net. Farquharson is a born volleyer, and as such he wanted a firm foothold, but the damp court denied that and so his game with Lee was at first a sterner struggle, perhaps, than he had anticipated. Lee, however, has one of the great forehands of the game and so must always com mand respect; his backhand is not negligible, but it is not on a par with his forehand as much can be said for his volleying. Farquharson made many mistakes at first, but hiB superiority was more and more obvious as the match progressed, though Lee had his chance of taking the first set when he led 5 3 and thirty-love, 65, 7--6, and 87. Farquharson angled his volleys delightfully and his forehand finished firm, though at first there were too many errors off the short returns, which are always a source of danger if one is not in full control of the drive.

Austin excelled against Avory and took fifteen games in succession there were some well-contested games, but the better player took the needful points, as is the way of better players. When svmnathisers inquired of Avory just how he accounted for so crushing a defeat he replied blankly: "He was just too good, and he is always liable to do a thing like that when in the mood." So Perry will meet Prenn and Austin will fight Farquharson the latter match should indeed be worth watching. The last eicht women are Miss Eound, Miss Hardwick, Mrs. King, Miss Stammers, Mrs. Whittingstall, Miss Noel.

Berry hit nine fours before tea, but then Leicester's batting broke down; the 100 went up with tour men out, but lour wickets fell at that total and the innings closed for 110. Lewis, in his twelve overs, half of which were maidens, took five wickets for 13 runs; he kept a length and concealed his break cleverly. Freeman did useful work, and only one error marred Kent's fielding.

Todd was excellent at deep mid-on; walking backwards he caught Corrall with the left hand high above his head, and after running behind the bowler he threw down Prentice's wicket. The pitch helped the bowlers. Having gained a lead of 132 on the first innings Kent finished up 104 ahead with nine wickets in hand. Scores First innina. KENT.

TRIAL AT OLD TRAFFORD Early Finish Welcome (From a Special Correspondent.) The sky was grey and the wind was cold when Lancashire continued their cricket trial at Old Trafford yesterday. The play was in accordance with the weather, and it was a long hour before Duckworth hit a full toss from Bennett past cover for the first boundary of the day. Before this the only matter of interest had been the bowling of Booth, who worked up a better pace than on Tuesday and was unlucky to secure only one wicket. He appeared to make the ball swing a little both ways, but it was the outward swing which had the batsmen in trouble. Parkinson was less effective than on the day before, and Bennett turned the ball more, though he had little life from the pitch.

Of Green-halgh's innings it may be recorded that he made 28 yesterday morning in an hour and a half and hit two fours in the last two overs before lunch. The one attempt to hit out on the part of Green resulted in a slip catch neatly taken right-handed by Pollard but one was grateful to Green for showing that the bat could be lifted more than shoulder-high. After lunch Green declared his side innings closed, and each side had an hour's hatting. The cricket was bot taken seriously, and the only points of interest were some short runs by P. T.

Eckersley, most of which resulted in overthrows, and some well-timed hits by Paynter. Yesterday the moat enthusiastic cricketers were two small boys who played with a newspaper and rubber ball between the innings, but one can hardly Diame the players lor preiernng the pavilion to the field on such a wintry day.

Chester F.C. yesterday secured from tstomiarra TTnitprl frlA ref Af Williams, a Welsh mternatioaal centre the last two years, fouud her leg much better and had no difficulty with Mrs.

Lucas. Miss Hardwick, happy on her backhand, but not quite so pleased with her forehand, beat Miss McOstrich, a left-hander, in tw close sets. Mrs. King, a confirmed babe-liner, beat Mrs. Howard (another) in two short sets, being much the more accurate.

Miss fcstammers found accuracy, as well as pace, and outplayed industrious Mrs. Hopman. Seaorita Lizana Loses Sefiorita Lizana was beaten by Mrs. Whittingstall after three sets. As long as Mrs.

Whittingstall played well she was the only one in the picture, and the Chilean champion was shown as a brave retriever with a soundly produced and fine backhand, an indifferent forehand, a poor second service, and no volley. Tne victor led 3 0 in the first set and 41, then lapsed into error, and only won at 6 3. In the second set Mrs. Whittingstall again led 30; then error arrived, for she would persist in falling away from her forehand, her fatal tendency (and that of countless ethers), and the Chilean took five games in a row and the set at 6 4, though she had betrayed nerves at 4 by serving a double fault. In the final set Mrs.

Whittingstall led 3 0 once more, and again fell away, but made a timely recovery. Both players would occasionally play to their adversary's stronger wing, the backhand. Mrs. Whittingstall made some fine winners down the forehand line or short across court into the forehand corner. Miss Noel used, the slow surface to advantage, volleying and stop-volleying and drop-shotting Miss James to the tune of 6 0 and 2, a fine win.

Miss Lyle followed up a 13 11 set against Miss Ingram by beating lime. Meulemeester, formerly Mile. Sigart, 68, 1210, 75. In the final set the ultimate loser led 5 1 and had three match points, but Miss Lvle showed the right temperament, dogged did it," and bo won a lonsr strucale punctuated by many long-drawn-out "Oohs'' and "Aahs on either side. Miss Scriven did not drop a set to Mrs.

Peters, being the more nurrnacious and enterprising. Miss Round will meet another stylist in iliss Mardwiek, who has a chance of glory, having nothing to risk the, gods are on the side of the big battalions in this game, however, and Miss Round at her best must triumph. Late in the evening Mrs. and Miss Cunningham beat Miss and Miss Heeley in straight sots. Mis3 Heeley was not good her poor stroke production was obvious, for she is an arch offender in falling away from her forehand, and Miss Round was similarly affected.

Mrs. Strawson's fine driving gave Miss Cunningham, happiest in a double at the net. the desired onnortunities, and certainly no winners looked happier than these when all was over. Nice to talk of beating Miss Round, even in a double. RESULTS MEN'S SINGLES Holder: P.

The officials are excluded in this teenth then Crawley had another turn, and a sequence of fours put him in the next round. The first surririse in the third round was the defeat of W. L. Hartley by u. ivi.

u. Sutherland (LadbrooK fark), who has been playing golf only four years, it was a game 01 poor putting, and Hartley, three up at the tenth, had lost his lead at the seventeenta; they halved the home hole, Hartley missed a short putt at the nineteenth, threw away another chance at the twenty-first, hit a weak shot at the long-shot twenty-third, and was beaten by a three. Banks (Hallamshire) played brilliantly against Turnbull There was every prospect of a close game when they reached the eighth tee level, but after that Banks had four threes and four fours, against which Turnbull could make no efficient return. Lunt Hard Pressed Lunt was pressed hard by Walton, a local ma3, who had a rare three at the third but was only one up at the turn. Of the next three holes Lunt lost two through getting into bunkers and won the other.

The play at the seventeenth really decided the match, for Walton nulled two shots into the rough and was beaten when Lunt made a perfect run up. The last hole was exciting, for both drove into ihe rough, and when Walton had half-topped his second Lunt astonished many by deciding to use wood instead of playiig for safety with iron; Lunt slung the ball into old fern roots, but after Walton had played to the green he hit a fine shot which made certain of a half and which eventually made him two up, because Walton putted too careiuny. Sutton, who was playing great second shots, had an "easy victory. Woollam was always on top in his match, and Roy, a Lancashire Rugby forward, beat Walton, the Lancashire golf champion, by one hole after being one down at the turn. Roy went round in 73, and showed no sign of nervousness in holin-r a four-foot nutt for a half on the last green when Walton had holed Irom three yards, llidgway did not find his morninc's form against Tolley until it was too late, for he lost six of the first seven holes and won the other, the fourth.

Lancashire lost another candidate when H. G. Bentley was beaten by Piper, of Sleaford. Piper holed a lonsr uutt for a half at the second after torjDinc hiB second and had a three at the third, where a putt from the edge of the green went down, tie had more luck at the tenth, as stymie robbed Bentley of a certain half and made him two down. Bentlev fought an uphill game bravely, but Piper played well, and lost only one hole in the remainder of the game.

Thompson confirmed his earlier form by beatintr De Forest. There were fireworks at the beginning, De Forest winninc the first in three and not finding four at the second good enough. Thompson took six at the sixth, nut reached the turn in 34 and was three up. De Forest- could not cope with the sound golf Thompson continued to play, and was beaten five and lour. A.

Heaton, at tile 19th. everything and Brentford played cool, polished football, in rich accord with their sartorial elegance the sort that has given them their cortincing championship. Bolton were patently bewildered and nonplussed. Suddenly James, the Brentford centre halt-back, introduced a note of savagery into his tackling of Mil6om; all the more surprising because he had been Milsom's complete master both on the ground and in the air, and from that point Brentford's luck turned. In the thirty-second minute Westwood sped away on one of his thrilling dribbles and after stumbling through a succession of palpable trips scraped the ball to Cook.

Cook centre was nodded violently goal- wards by Milsom. To the writer the ball appeared to be jammed against the foot of the post by Mathieson, who dived lor it. JUattneson pawed iranticauy at the ball and succeeded in pushing it round the post. The referee, however, had given a goal, a decision with which his linesman promptly concurred. This Fanned the flames with a vengeance.

Kight minutes later more questionable play round Milsom ended in the award of a corner to Cook. The ball sailed beautifully across to G. T. Taylor, whose scoring shot was inspired by a desire that there should be no doubt about this one. Its violence threatened to carry the net to Moses Gate.

Look, playing in full character as tnu Till of football, and West-wood, England's finest inside left on present form, saw to it that tne game was not entirely stripped of its artistry nor shorn of its graces. Their joint and individual manoeuvring played havoc with Brentford. Equally brilliant in his own. sphere was Taylor, Bolton's left half-back, who gradually got the measure ot urenttords rinest wing. jones too kept a faultless goal, and well for Bolton that he did, for Goldsmith's shakiness at right back, notwithstanding a two-goal lead, kept the crowd almost sick with panic.

By Herculean efforts, however, Smith and Atkinson just managed to spoil whatever openings the Brentford forwards did not themselves throw away by erratic shooting. Of Brentford's two fast and clever wing men Hopkins was easily the pick his speed and immaculate centre? were an ominous source of danger throughout. For the rest one saw enough of Brentford's defensive soundness nnd balance to understand their championship record. As for Bolton, this victory has planted them on Pisgah. Their next match, unless Blackpool prove unexpectedly recalcitrant, should see them safely in the promised land.

NORTHERN SECTION CUP Stockport Win Final Stockport County 2, Walsall 0 In the two finals of the Third Division (Northern section) Cup competition, last year and this, Stockport County have hac cutious experiences. In last year's final, on, Manchester United's ground, they were beaten by two goals scored by Darlington in the last three minutes, and in this season's final, on Manchester ground last night, they defeated Walsall by two goals in the second half, which were pres3ns from Walsall's right back, Bennett, who scored the second on himself. The first goal was scored by McNaughton, who, when Bennett passed back, needlessly, towards the advancing goalkeeper, sprinted past both men and tapped the ball, which had previously passed the goalkeeper, into the net fraction before Bennett reached him in i desperate recovery. Ten minutes later, in trying to head away a centre by Foulket. Bennett turned tho ball the wrong wa-and McLevick had no chance to save.

Even then Walsall had a chance, for after McNaughton had hit the crossbar Ball shot yards above the goal with a penalty kick. Walsall did not deserve to be beaten, though they were not so dangerous as Stockport. Their forwards time after time fell into an offside tran which was cleverly exploited, but Walsall's defence and half-backs were sturdy, vigorous, and clever. Foulkcs was Stockport's best, forward.
