International Tennis
The Stella Artois Championships from the Queen's Club, London
Nearly £19,000 goes to the winner of this afternoon's final but that will be the last thing the two players will be considering.
For the last two years the winner of this title has gone on to be Wimbledon Champion, so victory today may create a real psychological advantage in three weeks' time. It certainly was last summer for JIMMY CONNORS , but this year he has both JOHN MCENROE and IVAN LENDL to contend with. 2.40*

Beyond the Edge
From the precipices of St Kilda, the sheer walls of Moher in Ireland to the low, crumbling slopes of East Anglia, the sea cliffs of the British Isles embellish an already spectacularly varied coast-line.
But the dramatic results of this confrontation between land and sea concern more than just the scenery.
On remote beaches isolated by headlands and towering cliffs, clinging to ledges and in secret caves warmed by the sea, plants and animals find a natural haven. Beyond the edge of the land in these unfenced natural reserves grow wild asparagus and tree mallow and other plants more at home abroad; goats and bats find refuge and the aerobatic chough, soaring buzzard, black-cloaked raven and rapacious peregrine breed undisturbed.
