IMPERIAL CRICKET

AFRICA'S ATTITUDE. Deprecates Type of Bowling Aiming at Intimidation. WARNER'S PROBABLE SUPPORT (United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 11 a.m.) CAPETOWN, May 16. The South African delegate to the Imperial Cricket Conference has been instructed that his board strongly deprecates any type of bowling deliberately aiming at intimidation of batsmen, and consequently infringing the meaning of the word "cricket." He will probably be supported by P. F. Warner, joint-manager of the M.C.C. team which won the Ashes in AusI tralia.

LEAST RESISTANCE. M.C.O.'S ACTION CRITICISED. LONDON, Way 16. The "Daily Herald" says: "After a two hours' conclave the Marylebone Club shelved the body-line controversy by appointing a sub-committee. A plain answer was called lor to Australia's plain question, but Marylebone preferred to take the line of least resistance in the belief that diplomatic "Silence will help to bridge the gulf that threatens to separate England and Australia. "It was felt that outspoken condemnation of Australia's action would only widen the breach, and probably result in the cancellation of the Australian tour, which would mean a tremendous loss to English county cricket." Hendren says he hopes the sub-com-mittee will reach an amicable settlement. He has had one nasty knock as a result of the leg-theory and lie does not want another. ESSEX DEFEATED.
