Their forwards were unconvincing, and weakness at half-back threw too big a strain on the rest of the defence. Walsall opened fairly well. and of few near things at both ends the nearest was when Lane from close in hooked the ball just over the Watford crossbar.

It was after this that the gams took a decided turn in the home team's favour. and the Walsall defence was hard pressed. With the half-backs failing to hold the fast-moving Watford attack a heavy harden was thrown on Groves and Adams, and though both worked hard and well Wait's charge was twice eaptured, Hills scoring following a corner kick in 22 minutes, and Foster adding a second goal eight minutes later.

STEADY PLAY. Despite the heavy rainstorm overnight, the course was in excellent condition: in fact, the conditions generally were ideal. Naturally, the majority of the spectators elected to follow Compston, who was generally regarded as the successor to E.

5. Douglas (Robin Hood), the bolder of the championship. As usual, Compston played remarkably steady golf, His long. straight drives usu ally followed by well-judged and executed approaches, and it was on the greens where he dropped the few strokes I did. the first round he fast failed to maintain the magnificent start he made in going out in 4's, for lie slipped three short putts coming home.

A at the eighth in the afternoon was the only blemish in an otherwise magnificent round, ai his figures will show. There be again failed to get a short one down for a 5. His afternoon card read: Out: 4 3 6 4 6 3 6 6 4--36 4 6 4 4 4 4 4 4-36-72 BARBER'S ONIY SLIP. Barber played sterling golf throughout the day. At the Bret attempt his only slip was on the thirteenth, where three putts marred his card with a 6, and made bin second half total 98 after an admirable outward journey of 86.

After two over 4'e out in the afternoon, be came home in his beet style iu It was left to one of the younger generation to establish a new record of 70 for the Harborne course. That honour fell to W. Firkins, fozaorly an assistant to a. R. Wheildon at Maisie, but now engaged as a club-maker by a Dudley firm.

Prior to yesterday the protessioaal record for the course was the 78 of Len Holland, made at the official opening of the reconstructed course in October, 1924. Firkins' feat was the surprise of the day. It came iu tho morning, and was the result of brilliant all-round play. The only time he was in trouble was at the 13th, where his second found a bunker. but he made a good recovery and got his 4.

This was followed by a fine 2 at the short 14th, where lie holed a three-yarder. His record round of 70 was made up as follows: Oat: 4 4 3 5 3 4 5 5 4-37 Home: 3 4 4 4 2 4 4 4 6-33-70 In the afternoon be opened shakily les tee shots going somewhat astray, and La never quite settled down as he had done in the morning. ti rd. 74 75 75 72 73 75 72 77 74 70 77 75 75 somata umwi. m.C.C.—First Innings; right.

Mrs. Cartwright, who was of the visitors, knew the dog from its puppyhood, because her sister Miss Julian Langan, sold it to its present owner, Captain Monk, as a first season dog. An odds-on favourite in the betting, Lively Marchjustified the confidence. He jumped cleanly and without a trace of hesitation.

and no dog looked like challenging him seriously after the first hurdle had been negotiated. One of the best races of the evening was the third beat of the Shirley Purse. In this Happy View, on account of his wonderful reserve of speed when he almost snatched a victory in his last outing. was chosen as favourite, and it was difficult to understand how he lost. He looked a certain winner, with lengths to spare, until lie reached the final run home.

Then his pace slackened and Aker Hero and Carrigshock drew level and just on the post these two fought out the issue. Faker Hero gained the honours. but Carrigshock was a bare half-length behind, with Happy View only a short head further in the rear. Eager Bidder whi is better known to Aall Green visitors as Filling Fast, proved what a reliable stayer he is in the second race--over in winning la returned the excellent time of 32.395ec.. which compares favourably with the Performance of the champion dog, Bonzo.

All three had returned times within a fraction of a second of each other, and as they were noted keen triers a real problem in form was presented. The result proved the keenest of tussles between the two bitches, Teresa and Wotton lady, and only the judge on the line could have told the winner, so closely were they locked together at the finish.

It was very slowly run in the early and half a ice of horses were upsides when they had gone half way.

FOLLOW CF RICHARDS. Richards's mount in the St. Leger was Silverstead, who finished fifth. This colt had an immense following among the general public, not on his merits, because he was ridden by this most successful jockey, for Richards had ridden the winners of the two races that Preceded the etude.

GREEK IDOL RAS.USHIN BO LAW'S POPULAR ST. LEGER VICTORY. Manton Wizard Saddles His Last Classic Winner. RICE INCIDENTS. Highborn 11.

and Portland Handicap Today. TIP'S SUMMARY. The St. Leger that was won yesterday Lord Astor's Book Law must have one of the dullest in the long history of the race. It was dull because it departed to far from the traditions of this event that everything happened according to plan.

We expected to see Book La always lying well up with the leaders. and she was there at every point in the race. We expected to see her go into the lead in the straight, and did. As a matter of fact, ahe swung round the turn no sharply that she headed the others at thi. early stage.

We expected that the Derby second, Hot Night, would fail to stay, and he did, for he took second place soon after coming into the straight, and then began to stop, to be well beaten three lengths by the filly. There was not a thrill of excitement in the race except for the second or two when Rot Night moved up and the pleasure that comes from watching the success of a good and genuine filly. TAYLOR SATISFIED. It was the first time Lord Astor had won the St. Leger, and the success did not come to him out of his turn.

He took Buchan to Doncaster, but he was beaten of the unexplained mysteries et racing; and he took Craig an Wan with just as much hope of success. He aka was beaten, but there was some reason for that, as his owner ared to break him down and he had not had a full prepare. tion. If Book Law had been beaten it would have been a for Taylor has tragedy. newer Lien more satisfied with any home ha las ever run in a classic race than he was with Book Law, who had done everything that Was asked of her nt borne and accomplished everything expected of her in the race.

She is the last animal Taylor will ewer saddle in a classic race. for Teo retiree et the end of the present season. NOT NIGHT'S WEAKNESS. It was a beautiful day for the emelt and the light was perfect. but the course, after a night of ceaseless rain, rode heavy.

The paddock was densely crowded before the race It must be Raid that it was a very humdrum St. Leger field. We have seen better looking fillies run for the race than Book law, who, although she hes made much improvement since the spring. still a light and rather delicate sort. Hot Night never has been an imposesive With his leggy appearance and his head carried high in the air, he was looking well, and has put on weight since we saw him last in public.

He ran well enough. but failed to stay. In mile hasdicaps he would probably defy the weight. WINNER AOWAYS THERE. From a splendid start, Tattoo, the pasture of a well-trained horse, streak off little slow v.

Otherwise the 16 left the gate in a perfect line. I'L la ti i to show in front was Grande Vitas'. bet after they had gone a quarter of a nib Trelawny raced about half es length in front of her. Then came Restigosiche and Book Law. The last-named could have gone to tie front at any time, but Jellies kept her on a tight rein.

Entering the straight, he let her out and she went to the front. Suddenly Hot Night dashed op on the outside. It would have been a thrilling moment if anyone had believed that Hot Night would stay on, but he died out, and Book Law was an easy winner. On the whole, it was a moderate It. Leger.

The time was more than Mae. slower than that of Coronach last year. This would be partly amounted foe by SELECTIONS AT A GLANCE. TIP. I.
