Though played afr a fast pace, both men made far too many mistakes in the first set, the best stroke iu which was probably ilia real old-fash lor.ed Rensbaw smash with which Speuce finished it at 75, after having had a 3 lead snatched from him. was twice within a point of a 3 love lead hi the second set, playing well but Specce, hitting very hard, returned to the attack, and, as in the first set, agam led 3 and came within a point of the match in the uext game. But David saved himself well with some lovely passing shots, and, though Speuce got ahead again at 65, the Midlander took tne next tbree games for the set aDd squared the match.

Not only that, but ha went to 4 in ths final set, after some tentative play on both sides, and twice in the next gains had a chance of 2.

Although the RugLy Leagne includes In Its membership many teams of great repute with players of world-wide renown, there is general agreement that thin season's finalists, Huddersfield and Warrington, are worthy representatives for the great game of the season and capable of maintaining the code's tradition for Rugby football of the constructive and spectacular type.

Curiously enough, the two sides were Cup finalists in 1913, when at Headingley Leeds), in a memoratle struggle, Huddersfield, then the greatest force in the game, winning by three tries (nine points) to one goal and one try (five points). I regard the Yorkshire combination as the better-balanced side and anticipate their suecess, but Warrington will fight to the last minute, and at their best aTe fully capable of proving my forecast wrong. 18) 41 19 7 IS but the balance of the attack. Herd may be equal to scoring a goal now and then in a League match, but he did not show the capacity for such an occasion. He did not help his comrades.

And it should be said that the inside men on his right and left, Marshall and McMullan, did not assist him by giving him the ball so that he could shoot or even pull a bow at a. venture. Marshall and McMullan are not quite in the springtime of youth. They were slow compared with their opponents. The weakness of Manchester's attack was primarily due to the three inside forwards, who had not eyes far position play, and were obviously mortal below the waist-line, however hopeful and buoyant they may have felt before the game commenced.

Al first Everton had to resist the aggressive movements of Manchester, who were the quicker into their stride. When, however, the Evertonians began to play they put brain behind the boot, and it became clear that they were the more self-possessed and the more finished and the speedier. And this when Dean was simply taking up an advanced position and waiting for the ball. He did not suggest how deadly he can be. Once he shot wide of the post and another time headed over the hat.

Langford rushed out too soon, the hall passed over him, and all lie could do as lie threw his hands up with a backward lean was to divert the ball to Stein, who from very short range just placed the ball in an unguarded net.

The goalkeeper is the one man who is expected never to misjudge the situation or make a mistake. This is what Langford did. The five minutes to the interval vanished before one could recover from the shock of such a goal; a goal that made one think of other blunders by goalkeepers in the Final ties of 1927 and 1928.

AT THAMES DO WELL CHISWICK. Manchester City at Maine-road. A pair of points would mean that they retain their membership of the highest group. Lancashire seem to be hit heavily. Although defeated bv West Ham, their first reverse since January 21, Tottenham Hotspur are suto of returning to the First Division, along with Stoke, because Fulham fell before Grimsby Town at Craven Cottage.

All the three- clubs bunched at the summit of the Second Division suffered defeat. Stoke alone being capable of scoring. Tottenham Hotspur have gained their heart desire, but the finale is somewhat of an anti-climax, aa, apart from yesterday's reverses, they have merely drawn nine of their last thirteen frame. Clearly the club will have to think and act in relation to the future. West Ham will remain in the Second Division, but Chesterfield and Charlton Athletic are beyond redemption, aft Burn esea anglers are securing samtaetory mixed catches.

Bass are numerous off the Hampshire coast, and a fine specimen of 12i lb. has fallen to the rod of Mr. A. J. Morris, fish, trig oft Hengistbuty Head, near Bournemouth.
