England v USA & Canada

1 Jack Parker | 1 3 2' 0 2 3 | 11 + 1 | 1 Cordy Milne (USA) | 3 3 2 3 3 3 | 17 | Although
designated "official" by the ACU, riders at a match at New
Cross were not selected, which deprived the North American team of Jack
Milne, and the England team of the Belle Vue stars. Many people had thought that the official England v Australia series should have been replaced by a series of matches such as this, a view supported by the closeness of the scores, with the lead changing hands several times, and the difference in scores never being greater than 4 points. Biggest surprise was the defeat in heat 8 (which comprised four home track riders) of Cordy Milne, albeit by only a few inches, by Frank Goulden. |
