THE CRICKET CRISIS.
To those of us old enough to go back thirtyfive years 111 cricket history, the attitude of Clem Hill. Noble, Armstrong' and company i»j to quote the cabled words of Xevill Cardns, "good fun." Mr. Hill, in particular, is a joke. Iu his endeavour to pander to the feelings 01 the large anti-English element in Australia he displays a very convenient loss of memory. When a youth in England I remember a cer* tain Mr. Ernest Jones, "The Broken Hill Terror/' bowling as much at the man as he possibly could, and "knocking spots off" Englands leading batsmen. Later. Cotter. Macdonald and Gregory carried on the good work, and the Australian barracker considered it a joke. Your own Sports Edition of Saturday last gave an account of Kanjitsinhji's method of meeting this form of attack, and I seem to remember that Victor Trumper, Clem Hill and Darling also scored a few runs from Tom Richardson. Mold and Kortright. Fingletons sob stuff is too absurd for further comment, and the entrance of a Roman Catholic bishop into the arena is, to sav the least, unfortunate. A. J. HARDING.
