Hamburg, Atjgdsi 6. There is only a gloomy British story from the German international lawn, tennis championships at Hamburg.

On another damp day. both Davies and Becker lost, and only Knight, who the court was a target for a great deal patiently survived the slow, hitting of verUon from boflh men HaiUt the.

An opening stand of 110 by Gardner and Horner, a finely forceful 63 by Smith, and a fair stint from the rest made the New Zealander's attack. MaeGibbon look a tired and jaded thing.

At five minutes to six, Smith was. able to declare at the useful score of 316 for seven, and although Warwickshire could not take a wicket before the close, a good day to-day should be assured. How a crowd of nearly 10,000 appreciated yesterday it showed by subscribing 190 14s 8d to the collection for the worthy Gardner's benefit. Warwickshire hatted well not onlv R.

2-6. 4-6, finishing after two-and-a-half hours amid the mists of late evening. It, was a match that he began well, taking the nrst two sets, ana tnat ne mignt nave won, but if he had a disappointing middle to the game, in the last phase it became a fine fight, full of long rallies and fierce overhead play. When Davies relaxed in the third set, making tired and careless strokes, Jancso took eleven games at the cost of only one. At 0-4 down in the fourth, after Jancso had been upset by a line decision, the Hungarian had a fit of wild temper, banging the ball against the stop-netting, and the loose shots he made immediately afterwards enabled Davies to get back into the match, and the Hungarian was only just able to hold him off for the set.

The decider was hard, determined stuff up to 4-4 and then the British player, who all through the set had seemed to be coming up from 15-40, lost his service, and Jancso, the more obviously tired of the two players, just managed to summon up force enough to win his service in the last game. Davies had defended desperately, but Jancso beat him by hitting a series of remarkable winners. Becker occupied Davidson, the second seed, on the centre court for a bright hour or sor but there was never much hope of a British victory. Davidson is hitting extremely hard, and he seems to have recovered a great deal of his old power and speed. Excitement and laughter It was Rose v.

Cricket HAMPSHIRE CROWD Shackleton By Tony A crowd of some six thousand people a record for the United Services ground at Portsmouth turned up to see the county cricket championship leaders Hampshire, play Middlesex yesterday. At the day's end Hampshire were not in a promis- ing position, for, having been put in to bat, they were dismissed for 169 nriririiocoir raniiori nHfVi oil for two, so that whom all points are crucial at present, wouia seem to be faced with a hard job this morning. It was not a particularly happy day for Hampshire for in the first place they wprr" without Shackleton.

their Drincioal striking force who, ffirrough injury, was compelled to miss his first county match in ten years apart from those occasions when he has been engaged in representative games. Furthermore, they were put in to bat on wicket wmca. evea- tnallv became easy in Dace and generally inoffensive, but which earlier lent some M. J. K.

AT individually but as a team in that each man assumed his nrnnpr resnnnsibilitv when a wicket fell. Horner, for instance, forced the pace until he was out five minutes before lunch. Then Gardner did so for 80 minutes after, lunch, by which time Smith was in his stride and able to dominate the proceedings until Warwick- shire's score had reached 267. After that, for declaration. The New Zealanders.

let it be admitted, did not bowl particularly well. MaeGibbon in the momin'g's first hour was- wholly excellent. His length was consistently good, he was lively on a fairly fast, true pilch, and he moved the -ball sufficiently both ways to tax both openmg batsmen repeatedly. The rest did not nearly reach his class. Blair, who was eiven tne nrst use or the two -new balls, destroyed 'what might have been the effectiveness of his uneasy lift by lack of control over his direction and too frequently bowling just too short or too full.

Hayes after him rarely rose above the steady. And Alabaster, who could turn the ball only slowly, was also more erratic in length than usual. Six dropped catches Rather as at the start of the tour, the New Zealanders' bowlers seemed to lack a clear tactical policy. Reid's field platings also failed singularly to contain batsmen who most shrewdly combined hard, clean driving, cutting, sweeping, and hooking with nicely placed push shots and deflections. Still worse, the New Zealanders, although they took seven, dropped six catches during the day Horner when 11 'and 30, Smith when 39 and 52, and Spooner when seven and eleven.

How costly three of these lapses were the scores show. Much of the ground fielding, too, was untidy and some of the throwing quite execrable. All these shortcomings, done 'the less, made possible a day of most attractive, cheerful stroke-making. Gardner had a particularly fine day. He' seemed to see the ball well from the start and to meet it the middle of a bat which in its lack of back-lift and its closeness to pads always uncompromisingly placed made it seem to increase in width and dour phlegmatic obduracy the longer Gardner remained at the wicket.

Gardner yesterday found his proper stature. He became again the rock on which a Warwickshire innings was securely founded. He even began their first assaults, his impassive yet so often exactly placed deflections bringing him thirteen of the first twenty runs. Then Horner took over. Dropped by Harford as he glanced one of MacGibbon's- best lifting inswingers straight to backward short leg, he seemed to decide that this was his lucky day.

He slashed at MacGibbon's next qutswinger, and the single very nearly was four. He lofted Blair off his toes to mid wicket, turned MaeGibbon square beautifully for another four, and then jumped out and lofted him straight for a third. He hooked a short ball from Alabaster hard, against the spin and MaeGibbon dropped the stinging catch at mid wicket." Now Horner was certain his luck was in and in the remaining 50 minutes of his innings he drove to the onside and straight as cheerfully as he hammered short balls through the covers off the back foot and took singles perkily from turned shots and pushes off his legs. He was out as he tried to cut Alabaster once too often. The innings foundation well and truly laid.

Gardner, who added the square cut to his furtive push shots and deflections before lunch, began to show the range of shots he can command. From hard pushes, he blossomed into firmer on drives, then broad sweeps and more -searing square cuts until he startled the Warwickshire crowd no less than Alabaster with a straight drive that was nearly a six. Square cuts developed assistance to tne spin tsowiers aimougn and Horton in the course of three nans, they were in part flattered by some Horton. had batted with complete sound-odd-looking strokes by several of ness for almost two-and-a-half hours.

Soon after lunch Compton did well to reacn a return catch off bis own bowline from a wretched stroke by Blake, and Barnard quickly was caught on the long-on boundary by Robertson off Titmus who at 134 combined with Murray to dismiss' Inel ebv-Mackenzie. who was just begin ning to meet the ball firmly, and Sams-bury with consecutive balls.

ANOTHER WIN GRIFFIN BY Five hours' race From a Special Correspondent Cowes (I.O.W.), Wednesday. A clear sunny morning greeted the first in i the Royal Squadron races to-day. Most of the big yachts stood well off shore for a downwind start. There was a moderate south-westerly breeze and a strong tide was running eastward. The moment the gun had fired, they broke out their big spinnakers, the most striking that of Gladeye, the Royal Household Brigade sloop, which has a huge eye, emblem of the brigade, in the middle of the sail.

Kavlena. Taifun. Lutine. and Cynthia made the best start. Griffin 11 was a little late over the line.

After rounding the mark at Ryde Middle, they had to fight against the tide to the Solent Banks, with little help from the wind. The course was twice round, giving a sail of 30 miles, and because of the strong current and relatively light winds, the race lasted five hours. It was won by Griffin II, up her brilliant victory in the Britannia Cup yesterday when she "was helmed, by Stanley Bishop, the professional Kipper 01 sceptre, iivenioae cuaptam F. Ratsey) was second" and Rubin (Herr Otto Schumann) third. The race for the next smaller class of cruising yacht was won by Brumby (R.

P. Preston) with Barbecue (J. M. Caulcutt) second and Jolina II (H. F.

Gillman) third. Some of the smaller boats found the current almost too strong at the start and had- the greatest difficulty in keeping on the correct side of the line until after the gun. Later several went aground near Stone Point and Beaulieu Spit, but were soon floated off. "LEAD AND LINE" OUTDATED Surveying home waters More than two million charts were printed in 1957 for issue to the Fleet and for sale to merchant shipping, fishing vessels, and 'the public. This is stated by Rear-Admiral K.

St B. Collins, hydrographer of the Navy, in his report, issued yesterday. The report says that unstable conditions calling for a resurvey every two years or so -exist around Britain's-coasts from the Humber' to Dover and in the Bristol Channel and Spithead: Stable areas are typified by those off the west coast of Scotland but; the charts based on old lead and line surveys are inadequate for modern use and these areas are being resurveyed. On completion they- should not need to be" resurveyed for a hundred years or so. The report refers to the -work of surveying vessels in sweeping" already dispersed by explosives, to find the least depth over rernaining -obstructions.

During the last ten 1,090 wrecks have been swept, reswept, located, or disproved by. surveying ships in home waters. FIVE MONTHS' FREEDOM Belfast police stated' yesteraaylthat Joseph Patrick Coleman SJn scaped SfSte8 County Down). poU When he fell to Alabster as Horner had done, his 88 out of 206 in three and a half hours had shown one a little manual of tnorougnly professional, comprehensive competence. Before Gardner was out the side's young Stewart had shown what a good looking stroke maker he should become once he has learnt not to feel forward into regions too removed from his off stump, and Smith, after a hazardous start, had begun to find his handsome, powerful, driving stride.

Then, during the closing half-hour, they captured three Glamorgan wickets for five runs. Instead of being helpful to the bowlers, as Wooller expected, the wicket played easily and the batsmen were able to make their shots firmly and crisply. It might have been different if the sun had come out, but it remained behind the clouds for most of the day.

Lancashire made the most of their opportunity. First Barber and Wharton shared a bright opening partnership of 79 and then Pullar and Marner consolidated the position in their third century stand in the last four matches. Marner was in magnificent form. After reaching 50 in 80 minutes he launched a vicious assault on Ward and in one over hit six, four. six.

4iuu Montague enough, physically or mentally, to win a world class mile or 1,500 metres. Well though Johnson ran in both Cardiff and London considering the amount of time he has been able to devote to training this summer and well though he has risen to the big occasion in the past it hardly seems that Johnson can have as good a chance in the 800 metres as Hewson would have had. Once this decision was taken the effect on the candidates for the longer races must have been almost automatic. For aii his protestations and his victory over Lincoln in slow time in Vancouver two mumns ago, iddoisou oas Clone noioiug this season to suggest to those who study the form of foreign runners that he mieht finish in the first snt in anv event at Stockholm, and the ton, of his recent remarks to the press about selectors and outer runners destroys any sympainy one might have had with him; he would do well to canalise his fury and energy into preparing for next season and becoming once more the great runner' we all know he can be. In the present year no British miler has reached the heights, but it is no use crying over this; we cannot alwavs find in Enelanrl a Wooderson, a Bannister, a Chataway, or an Ibbotson of 1957 vintage, and it is not the fault of those who have tried their The man who suffers most frnm the translation of Hewson to the 1,500 metres is Berisford, who in the last fortnight has twice beaten his personal best and on Monday returned lie second fastest -time for a iriile by a British runner this season, but was beaten unexpectedly by Blagrove; he is omitted and.

with Blagrove and Hewson chosen, Pirie is left to concentrate on the 5,000 metres witn (jiarK, anl JSldon to concentrate on the 10,000 metres with Merriman Hyman being a trifle unlucky to be squeezed out at the far end.

Nevertheless, Titmus bowled well in taking six wickets for 43 runs, figures which can be broken uo further into six for 27 after lunch, and in a splendid final flourish, he actually took five wickets for 11 runs in his last six overs, and six of those runs name in one fell blow by White.

Whether or not it was in the hope that the wicket would be conducive fo spin that Hampshire were invited to bat was not entirely clear for at first glance one almost would have expected to see the f. ii C- nH ball flying from the faster men. So far as they were concerned, however, it remained placid enough, and the only success that attended their early efforts GolJ ALTRINCHAM PAIR WINS EASILY The amateur-professional 36 holes foursomes golf tournament at Buxton and High Peak was won yesterday by an Altrincham pair, P. Baker and H. Lewis (the club's assistant), whose net total of 136 is one of the lowest in the long history of the event.

Two partnerships each also involving an assistant, C. Blakey and H. W. Muscroft (Moor Allerton) and G. Davies and G.

Sharkey (Beau Desert) shared second place, six shots behind, and A. E. (iregory UMortnenoeiu pairea wim i. w. Wiltshire (Crompton and Royton), the Manchester and District open champion, finished with 144.

Baker has a handicap of 15, highest of any amateur who competed, and as Lewis received the normal allowance of two strokes due to an assistant there was an attractive basis from which to start. Baker, who had helped his side most capably in the first round in which a lead of "li strokes was gained over the 71 returned by E. Martin and R. Mason, could have been forgiven if the strain had been too much for aim later. Yet he played even more composedly than he had done in the morning, kept the ball firmly in play with his gentle hitting and was of considerable influence in achieving a score of 75 gross.

Apart from three of the five short aoles at each of which a stroke was lost to the figure on the card, the round was splendidly balanced. Blakey and Muscroft improved on their morning score by four strokes, an admirable homeward haM of 35 being mainly responsible for it. On the other hand, Davies and Sharkey aad identical rounds of 71. Lying joint-second before lunch were Martin and Mason, who, however, made some heavy weather during the opening holes in the afternoon by losing six strokes before they had reached the Thereafter toeir goM was most hanmonious, with a score of one lifider fours, which included the splendid finish of threes at the seven-t teenth and eighteenth.

OwiniZ to the rule that not more. than four of the challen gers can be from any one country, two of the great Russian masters Averbakh, Bronstein, Petrosian, and Tal must be eliminated. There should be a tremendous battle for the five qualifying places, with in.

Russian champion for two years running, and Bobby Fischer. American champion at only 15. One cannot see Fischer doing really well on his first appearance in Europe, but he clearly has a great future. Both Tal and Fischer have been preparing intensively for Portoroz in the last month. Tal was unbeaten in helping Russia to retain the world students" championship, and Fischer has been playing training games in Yugoslavia.

Here is one recent game by each of them, a convincing attack by the Russian and a deep queen sacrifice (spoiled by time pressure) by the American. White: Tal- Blacks Portlsch (Hangarg). World Students" Ontnciotatblp, 1951. MTMZO-INDIAN DEFENCE White 1. 2.
