G. HEADLEY'S BRILLIANT INNINGS IN DRAWN MATCH J. H. CAMERON'S BOWLING OF NO AVAIL GREAT TOURIST BATSMAN'S UNDEFEATED 76 WITH 247 runs needed for their first victory of the tour, the West Indians made a steady start to their second innings at Liverpool to-day, against the keen attack of Lancashire, who had been skittled out by J. H.

Cameron. The tourists had scored 142 for three when the match was left drawn. Headley batted brilliantly. Lancashire were clearly determined not to give anything away in the field, and after I. Barrow had been quickly sent back by Phillipson, E.

A. Martindale and G. Headley proceeded cautiously. Martindale batted well, but fell to the persistent Phillipson when he had made 39. G.

Gomez did not last long, and was dismissed by. Pollard, Lancashire's other quick bowler. H. P. Bayley came in to join Headley, who was nearing his 50, and constituted a real menace to the home side.

Cameron was well supported by L. G. Hylton, a stock bowler, and had five wickets. Lancashire offered little resistance after the departure of Oldfield, who played well for his 71. The West Indies thus required 247 for victory.

Cameron bowled 8.5 overs (three maidens), taking five wickets for 23. Overnight scores Lancashire 226 and 142 (Oldfield not 22. Hopwood not 21), west Indies 236. LANCASHIRE First innings 226.

TWO YEARS' PRISON FOR MAN An anti-conscription demonstration in the Nationalist quarter of Belfast led to James Joseph Regan, of Beechfield-street, Belfast, being sentenced to two years' imprisonmen with hard labour, at Belfast to-day. He was charged under the Special Powers Act with the commission of an act "calculated to promote the object of unlawful a meeting of a large number of persons and encouraged them to join the Irish Republican Army." Head Constable J.

J. Murphy said that on May 4 Regan, addressing a crowd of 2,000, said the Irish Republican Army had defeated conscription in Northern Ireland and it behoved them to join that army. "CALCULATED LIES" Regan, in court, said: "The Head Constable's statement is cool and calculated lies." Mr, W. F. McCoy, Stipendiary Magistrate, passing sentence, said: "The fact that there were 2,000 people in the crowd you were haranguing and recommending to join the I.R.A.

shows how prone the public are to be gulled by such statements. If you are not satisfied with the constitution under which you live you know the consequences." TO-DAY'S STOCKS AND MARKETS There was not a great deal of activity in the Stock Exchange this morning.

Home industrials showed little alteration.

British funds inclined easier, with War Loan 1-16 down at 92 3-8. Mining shares were quiet.

Owing to lack of playing members, it has been found impossible to run a cricket club at Forthampton this season, and on Wednesday night a meeting was held, when an inventory of the cricket equipment which would be damaged by lack of use and storage, was made.

These will be disposed of, and replaced should the club revive. It was made clear that the club was only in abeyance, and it is hoped to revive it should sufficient members be procured, pending which the assets of the club will be held by one or more trustees.

AUXILIARY NURSES MORE THAN 500 WANTED IN GLO'SHIRE More than 500 Auxiliary nurses, between the ages of 18 and 55, are required in Gloucestershire for the purpose of being trained to undertake nursing service in an emergency. A local Nursing Emergency Committee has been formed in the county to ascertain the number of women who will undertake such service.

Full-time workers will be paid £2 a week, and they will be required to pay their own board and fares. No payment will be made to part-time workers. The question of free transport, and meals is under consideration. Training will consist of 50 to 96 hours in hospital, to be taken as consecutively as possible by the candidate. All expenses will be paid during the hospital training.

Members of the British Red Cross and the St. John Ambulance Brigade can become Auxiliary Nurses and still retain membership of these organisations. Applicants are asked, as a condition of enrolment, to undertake to maintain their efficiency by attending annually six practices in first aid and six practices in the work to which the auxiliary is assigned. Forms for enrolling can be obtained from the Health Department, Shire Hall, Gloucester, from representatives of the Women's Voluntary Services for Civil Defence, or from Commandants of the St. John Ambulance Brigade and British Red Cross.

MAJOR F. E. GURNEY Resignation News Received With Regret Although Major F. E. Gurney has tendered his resignation as the Divisional A.R.P.

officer, he is to retain a keen interest in the work in the division, and, in an honorary capacity, he will be glad to give whatever help he can. The news of Major Gurney's resignation has been received with much regret by A.R.P. officers in Cheltenham and in the Division generally, for the enthusiastic application of his special qualifications has done a great deal for the organisation. Speaking to an "Echo" reporter today, Major Gurney said that he had been feeling the strain, but that he would be ready to help in any way that he could in an unofficial capacity. He paid tribute to the co-operation and assistance he had received from the various committees, honorary clerks, instructors, his own office staff, and the general public during his period of office.

WIRELESS LICENCES DECREASE The Post Office issued 536,427 wireless receiving licences during April. This figure represents a net decrease of 5,259 in the number of licence holders during the month, after making allowance for expired licences and renewals. The approximate total number of licences in force at the end of April, 1939, was 8,962,850, as compared with 8,604,400 at the end of April, 1938, an increase during the year of 358,450. DORSETT RE-SIGNS Dorsett, the young Wolverhampton Wanderers inside forward, to-day resigned for the club. It has been decided to take him to Rotterdam to play in the last match of the Wolves' tour.

Galley, who re-signed a few days ago, will not join his colleagues, however, as he was originally picked for the F.A. team at present on the Continent. THREE EPSOM "HOPES" But Lord Derby Will Not Back Any Lord Derby, who has three horses left in the Derby, stated to-day, I naturally have hopes, but I have hopes that will not be supported by any bet of because I don't bet." He was presiding at the annual meeting in London of the Hotels and Restaurants Association, and declared that he found himself rather in the position of a fish out of water, or, if you prefer the simile, a whale stranded on a beach." Lord Derby spoke of the food provided for the modern Army. He said that he believed the improvement was really enormous compared, at all events with when he was in the Army 54 years a go. EVESHAM WEDDING Mr.

B. G. Beynon And Miss M. G. Shovelton The wedding took place at Avonbank Methodist Church, Evesham, to-day, of Miss Margaret Guida Shovelton, elder daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Sydney Shovelton, of the End House, Croft-road, Evesham, and Mr. B. Gower Beynon, younger son of the late Mr. and Mrs.

E. V. Beynon, of Merthyr Tydfil. The ceremony was conducted by the Rev. S.

H. Bosward (Superintendent Minister), the Rev. G. Leslie Cocks, and the Rev. Wright Shovelton.

The bride was attired in a gown of ivory satin with a Brussels lace veil, and she carried a sheaf of lilies. She was given away by her father, and was attended by two bridesmaids, Miss Doreen Shovelton (sister of the bride), and Miss Stella Ross (friend of the bride). They wore dresses of blue moire taffeta with short sleeves, panelled skirts, and carried bouquets of dark crimson carnations. The duties of best man were carried out by Mr. Edgar Robbins.

Both the bride and the bridegroom have been members of the Evesham Hockey Club and the tennis section for many years. The bridegroom is a former member of the staff of the Evesham branch of the National Provincial Bank, and was educated at Llandovery College. The bride was educated at Queenswood and Bedford College, London. For travelling the bride wore a navy suit, with navy straw halo hat and a pink French Georgette blouse. Their future home is to be at Sutton Coldfield.

THIRD DIVISION CUP Northern Section Approves New Scheme The Northern Section of the Third Division has approved a scheme which, it is hoped, will increase interest in the Northern and Southern Section Cup competitions. The scheme provides for the clubs finishing second and third in the Northern Section to play for the Northern Section Cup and for a similar game to be played between the second and third clubs in the Southern Section. The winners of the two matches would meet in a challenge game with gold medals for the winners. If the Southern Section executive approves the scheme at its meetings at the end of the month, the Football League will be asked to sanction the new competition.

"GLOUCESTERSHIRE ECHO," May 12. 1939 DEATH FALL IN QUARRY TEWKESBURY OFFICIAL INQUEST STORY HOW a widespread search over Bredon Hill for a missing Tewkesbury Corporation official resulted in a policeman finding his dead body lying in a 30-feet deep quarry on the hillside was told at an inquest at Bredon to-day. The inquiry was on Mr. Harry Francis Dean, aged Borough Accountant to the Tewkesbury Corporation, and one of the best known sportsmen in the district.

Mr. Dean was reported missing on Tuesday evening, and a party of friends went on a search for him immediately. His body was found the next morning. He had been dead for several hours. Mr.

H. J. Saunders. Coroner for South Worcestershire, held the inquiry without a jury. A verdict of "Death by Misadventure" was recorded, the Coroner stating that he had no doubt that Mr.

Dean's death was accidental. Mr. Alfred Dean, brother of the dead man, gave evidence of identification. DOCTOR'S EVIDENCE Dr. Margaret Wilkinson, of Kemerton, said that she examined the body at the foot of a quarry on Bredon Hill, and yesterday she made a post-mortem examination.

Death was due to asphyxia. The man was lying with his head and neck in an awkward position. "I think that the asphyxia was caused by the collar and tie," she said. Speaking of examining the right Knee joint, she said that she found that a cartiiege had been displaced. The Coroner: "If he slipped and fell, would that displace the cartiiege.

"Yes." "That would give extreme pain, would it Yes." "And cause fainting?" Yes "It in quite possible in view of the circumstances that asphyxia occurred after Yes." The Coroner here explained that he had visited the quarry where Mr. Dean had been found dead. "I thought that I should acquaint myself with the scene," he said. "It just shows how easy it would be for anyone to slip there. My clerk, Mr.

Smith, was with me, and he slipped and badly injured an ankle, and is unable to be at this inquest to-day." The Coroner recalled that he had seen a big stone near the edge of the quarry and asked Dr. Wilkinson if it would be possible to dislocate a cartilage by slipping from that. She replied that it would be possible. Dr. Wilkinson stated that she was absolutely certain that death was caused by asphyxia.

NO WORRIES Mrs. Janet Marjorie Canning Dean, the widow, last saw her husband alive at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, when he went to his work. He said that he would not be home to tea, but that was not unusual. Mrs.

Dean said that her husband, as far as she knew, was in good health, and had nothing to worry him. He had never had a day's illness, although he had had some trouble with his right leg, the knee of which was easily dislocated. At one time he lived at Bredon, and since then he had often gone for a walk on Bredon Hill. He had previously gone on the hill after his work, but had not done so this year. Asked by the Coroner whether there was anything wrong, Mrs.

Dean replied: "I know of nothing wrong at all; I am absolutely certain it is all straight forward." TOWN CLERK'S EVIDENCE Mr. Henry Alexander Badham, Town Clerk of Tewkesbury, said that Mr. Dean had been in his employ for 26 years with the exception of a period of war service. I saw him on Tuesday, and he was about his duties as usual." Commenting on Mr. Dean's work as Borough Accountant and Rate Collector, Mr.

Bafiham said that he had carried out hirf duties efficiently and loyally. Witness knew of no worry or of anything that had been likely to upset him. "He was a most loyal and cheerful servant," he added. Miss Winifred Cave, a schoolteacher, of Kemerton, said that she saw Mr. Dean at about 5.50 p.m.

on Tuesday, when he got off an omnibus. "He smiled quite cheerfully at me," she said. Evidence of finding the body was given by P.C. Maund, of Bredon. He said that he received information that Mr.

Dean was missing on Wednesday morning. With friends I began a search of the hill, and at about 10.45 a.m. found his body in the quarry," he said. "It was lying awkwardly with the left leg tucked under the right. His head was thrown back against a rock and nis face was puffed." TIGHT COLLAR P.C.

Maund said that Mr. Dean's collar was so tight that he could not get his fingers between his collar and his neck. The head was resting against fourfoot boulder, and a scratch on the top of the stone appeared to have been made by the body slipping. The fall to where the body was found was only about three feet. Witness said he was sure that no-one had fallen from the top of the quarry.

The Coroner, remarking on his own visit to the scene, stated that he had viewed the position in which Mr. Dean's body was found and the surrounding stones. I feel satisfied beyond any measure of doubt that Mr. Dean fell only between two feet six inches and three feet. I think he got on to that large boulder to have a look round and that he slipped." The Coroner said that he was sure that Mr.

Dean's cartiiege had been displaced and that he fell in great pain and fainted. I believe that he was then choked by his own collar owing to the unfortunate position in which he fell," he added.
