(Received August 20,12.30 p.m.)
LONDON, August 19,
The "Daily Mirror" reports that Don Bradman is considering a definite offer of £50 a week to act in an advisory capacity to the Sports Investors Society, Limited, a firm of London bookmakers, who are reported to have entertained Bradman at a West End hotel. It is expected that he will meet the directors of the company after the fifth Test match. ,
Mr. G. Samuel, of the Sports Investors Society, told the "Star" that there is every possibility that Bradman will return to England after completing his Australian contract to accept the society's offer. ' Mr. Samuel explains that the society, which is a co-operative betting organisation, hopes to arrange sports tours of England, and also to send teams abroad, the clients sharing in the profits. Naturally, it would be a good thing to have a world figure such as Bradman at the head of the organisation.
