On Liverpool University's athletic ground at Wyncote last Wednesday, evening the Liverpool & District Committee of the N.C.A.A. held trials as a preliminary to the selection of the Lancashire and Cheshire teams for the inter-counties meeting at White City Stadium. London, on Whit Monday.
Wallasey athletes put up good performances considering the early date, notably Dennis Dickinson in the mile, and John Abbott in putting the shot.
Work is going forward in the evenings at the Tower Athletic Ground, and members are urged to lend a hand to ensure the early completion of the track and jumping pits, and the commencement of training for the summer season.
Anyone interested in athletics is invited to join Wallasey Athletic Club, and should 'phone the secretary, Ron Hubbard, at Birkenhead 3550.
