THROWING OR BOWLING.
■ , . Adelaide, November ' 2. Tbe action of the English umpire (Phillips) in " no-billicg " Jones for an extra fast delivery has given -rise to much comment and diversity of opinion, besides raising the burning question of the fairness or otherwise of' bis bowling. Phillips had previously warned Jones, and only adopted the extreme course' of no-balling him because Jones took little notice of the warning. ' London, November 1. ■- The newspapers commend Phillips's action In no-balling-^Jones. The Daily News thinks ■ -that he--deeerves the thanks of all good 'Cricketers. Had umpires hScf'siVnilar courage in Crossland's (the Lancashire bowler's) day the throwing nuisance would have long since ' been abolished.
The Times, referring to the no-balling of Jones, expresses a hope that since Phillips . has broken the stolid indifference other umpires will follow his example and prevent ■ unfair bowling.
