LOYAL SERVICE
The Sussex Cricket Club must have a keen appreciation of the loyal service given by its players, slates an English writer. Allhough the club lost £2OOO on the past-season, it has decided to pay all its men in full until next April. How different is this attitude from that taken up by soccer clubs, comments the writer. Within a few hours of the declaration of war, all players of the Association code were dismissed.
Canada has produced a niiic-.vcur-old boy tennis champion in Lome Main, who won the Marpolc Public Courts event for boys under 15 at Vancouver. Lome, a wisp of a lad who grasps his racquet with both hands, like John Bromwich, of Australia, won the title by defeating 15-year-old Hughie Johnson, 6—3, 5—7, 7—5. The new champion weighs 3st 81b, and is 3ft. llin tall. He says that he holds the racquet with both hands because it is too heavy for him to do so with one.
