Commentaries during play by Howard Marshall and Michael Standing from Kennington Oval
S. C. Wooderson 's attempt on the world's record described by H. M. Abrahams from the University of London Athletic Club Ground,
Motspur Park
Sydney Wooderson first came into the public eye when he set up a new Public Schools' Mile record in 1933 ; twelve months later he was already nearly as good as J. E. Love-lock, and in 1936 he set up a British record of 4 min. 10.8 sec. for the mile. Injury prevented him from doing himself justice in the Olympic Games, but at Motspur Park in August, 1937, he set up a new world's record of 4 min. 6.4 sec.
This afternoon Wooderson is going to see just how fast he can run 880 yards. Will another new world's record result ? The present record stands to the credit of E. Robinson (U.S.A.)-1 min. 49.6 sec.
The weather conditions will almost certainly be the deciding factor. Wooderson showed by his brilliant run on August Bank Holiday, when he set up a new British record of 1 min. 50.9 sec., that he is capable of almost anything.

Described by H. M. Abrahams from the University of London Athletic
Club ground, Motspur Park
In the one mile relay for the British Championship, the Achilles Club have a fine team headed by A. G. K. Brown (who recently set up a new British record of 47.6 sec.). With support from Alan Pennington and John Barnes , both of whom will represent Great Britain at the European Championships next month, and possibly J. C. Horsfall to complete the four, the club should set up a new Championship record.

' Captured by Cannibals '
Edwin Heath
. Edwin Heath was for many years a trader in the South Seas, principally among the islands of the New Hebrides. In March, 1922, while he was sailing an auxiliary schooner Ring Dove, he was overtaken by a hurricane. The ship capsized, and Mr. Heath and two Kanakas were cast ashore on the island of Mallikola. They were then captured by cannibals.
The astonishing story of his experiences with the tribe will be described tonight.

Grieg's Sonata
The C minor Sonata, published in 1887, is the third and last of Grieg's sonatas for violin and piano. 'It may be described as a dramatic sonata', says M. M. UIfrstad. 'With its simple lines and clearly defined formation, imbued with the spirit of conflict and melancholy, it stands as a monumental work in the sonata literature of the North'.
The purist may complain that it is not very satisfactory as a sonata. (Grieg was too much a lyrical miniaturist to be really happy in the larger forms.) But the work contains so many charming ideas, so much that no one but Grieg could possibly have written, that it will always keep a very high place in the affections of Grieg lovers.
El Poema de una Sanluquena A slight programme is attached to this characteristically Spanish suite of Turina, of which only two movements are to be played this evening. The first of these describes a vision of love which becomes frenzied and distorted. In the second, the 'girl of San Lunar' puts on a beauty spot to add to her charms - and sings a song about it.
