A fourteen year old boy,| with no real interest Iri athletics was persuaded to make an attempt'at thA high jump along with the likeliest candidates for his team.

Cricket scholarships have been introduced


that' small subscriptions give sufficient en- coiiragement. Have the members of this club coirimittee ever been young ? One;doubts It. A cricket scholarship to the local qlub wouli^ be something at which .to aim, would lead to keen desire to merit the award, rind would certainly, in the case of the winning boj;s, serve as a stimulant to do even .better. Enthusiasm is Infectious, and so also' is lack of interest. The absence of foresight by-club committees in respect of opportumtles they provide for ;youth wiU react unfavourably against these clubs in the long run. A dire scarcity of players is already being felt by local clubs. .Their need for youngsters ^is obvious. Glance down the list of players in local Teague teams to-day and co^t up the number of ‘foreigners’ (players from other districts) who; appeared In last Baturday’s sides. Your pains \ylll reveal a fairly high percentage bf imported players' and the figures will be equally revealing for first and seiiond elevens!

! Barrow have made a, good start In the North-East Lancashire r League, arid on. Saturday had a (Capital victory over Salisbury St. Peter’s . ' This was .mainly due, to thd fine bowllrig of Cyril Forrest, whose seven wickets for 20 runs Iricluded the “ hat [trick.” At the opposite end, Tom Patedeld had three victims for 12 runs.
