 In the international speedway match between Scotland and England held on 22 August, the home team had an easy victory, the final score being Scotland 51 points, England 32 points.

The Scots took matters well in hand after the first heat. Ernie Evans, the English captain was the only rider to gain maximum points but his fine effort was wasted by the lack of good supporting men on his side. Hart and Greenwood were the best of the Scottish side only losing 3 points between them. George Greenwood’s superb cornering gave him the verdict in his first Silver Torch heat when he defeated the Glasgow rider Gruff Garland. The final, however, was all Evans. Quickly away, he held on to his fine lead, with Hart following, and finished well in front.
