It was persistent, probing bowling again that saw the West Indies take another three wickets between lunch and tea at a cost of 115 runs. Set for century Milburn, Sheahan and Jock Irvine were- dismissed In this session, all at a time when they were' looking troublesome. Milburn when 79 and seemingly set for his century, tried to play a Colin Cowdrey stroke off Davis down to fine leg.

but his timing was astray and the ball ballooned up into the air to Pindlay. Sheahan helped lift the Combined score to 179 before edging an Inswlnger into his stumps. Irvine and Walters took the total to 5200 In 246 minutes and delightedthe crowd by running five off an Irvine off-drive. But Irvine was dismissed In the last over before tea, brilliantly caught by Chve Lloyd in front of square leg. Irvine positioned himself well and vigorously pulled a short ball, but Lloyd snowed fine anticipation to hold a falling left-handed catch.

The Melbourne aide in fact scored first through utility player Thomas, after a good pass from the left by Douglas, and led 1-0 at half time. But Hakoah-Sydney came back strongly: in the second half. It matched the local team's aggressiveness in mid-field and elaborate open play in attack to score three more times.

Hakoah Melbourne suffered a major setback two minutes from the. start when Australian international stopper Dick van Al-pen had to be replaced owing to a recurrence of a leg injury.

Woefully small crowds and heavy financial losses forced the North American Soccer League to scrap plans to have a competition next season. Instead, interested clubs will pcol their resources to keep alive one team, which will play a series of exhibition games against top European and South American sides. The league, lir- sounding the death knell of the competition at a meeting in Chicago, on Friday, night said the formation -of one all-star team was "a glamor taotic to retfve Interest in soccer in the United States." Officials hope that interest in soccer will grow In the cities where the all-star team plays, and in a few years they will try -again to form a league. North America Is virtually the only part of the globe where soccer is not a major spectator sport As a result of the interest created by the televising of World Cup games in 1966. two rival professional leagues were formed tn the VS.

in 1967. They merged into one league for the 1968 season. When big-time professional soccer made its bow two years ago, club owners said they had the financial resources to wait five years if necessary for the game to catch on. But losses were far heavier than expected. Most league clubs had attendances of World cycle title held by, Dane Nov.
