Moore Leads Australia To Speedway Victory -- England's Captain, Norman Parker, rides round flourishing a union jack before the test began. He rode with his left leg in Irons because of a previous injury. Ronnie Moore, Wimbledon's 19-year-old Australian Speedway star, the youngest rider to captain a test team, led his country to victory over England by 56 points to 52 in the first test at Wmbledon last night. This daring young man who defied the wall of death when he was only 12, also defied the best opposition England could offer, to score his first test maximum and to pocket nearly £100 in prize money.
