Hendren, sails for Adelaide on September 9, to take up hie coaching duties. Hendren has been engaged by the South Australian Association to do coaching worn in and around Adelaide during the Australian rammer season, which correspond* with the cricket off season in England. Hitherto Hendren has not accepted coaching engagements outside of England on account of having been engaged in the winter time as a professional Soccer player. He has. however, reached the midthirties, and finds Soccer too strenuous, and he made his last appearance as a professional player in the Brentford-Xewport County match in April. Speaking to an interviewer on the subject, he said he had decided to retire from the Soccer game; while in his prime rather than wait until he was forced to give way to a jrounjw; man. "Patsy," as he is known, conducts an indoor cricket and sports training school at Acton, which he has arranged to be kept going in his absence.
