    Match Report

BUDAPEST, May 10.--England was beaten by Hungary to-day by two goals to one after there had been no score at half-time. This was the first occasion on which an official English team had been beaten on the Continent*.

There was no fluke about Hungary's win. After the first 10 minutes, in which they were flustered, they were the better players. The match was played on a hard ground and with a light, bouncing ball which the English team found almost impossible to control.

Without making any excuses for the English team, it must be said that they were handicapped. The heat was considerable, and the ground was hard and dusty, without a blade of grass on it...

The first goal was scored after 20 minutes in the second half by Avar, the inside-right. The movement started with a free kick against England. Szucs, the centre-half, took the kick and passed to Kenemy, who sent the ball to the opposite wing, and Avar, running in, scored from close range. Less than five minutes later Sarosi scored a second goal. This, like the first, was the result of a fine movement. Roeck, on the right wing, got away, passed to his inside, who passed across to Toldi. He was tackled, but got rid of the ball just in time, and Sarosi, taking the pass in his stride, sent the ball into the top corner of the net.

England scored six minutes from the close through Tilson. It was by now getting dark and the ball could only be followed from the stands with difficulty. The English forward line gathered together in the goal-mouth, and it was at first thought that Carter, inside-right, had got the ball into the net, but later Tilson, centre-forward, was given that honour...--Reuter. - The Times - Friday 11th May, 1934

* apart from the games in Spain in 1929 and France in 1931!

IN OTHER NEWS...

It was on 9 May 1934 that an American millionaire, William Gettle, was kidnapped from his home in Beverly Hills, and his friend was tied to a tree in the grounds. His lawyer received a note demanding $60,000, and his wife received one demanding $40,000, but the police tracked him down and rescued him from a house, five days after the kidnapping. Five people were convicted as a result.
