PARKIN'S POSITION. DROPPED FOR SECOND TEST. L.OXDOX, June 22. The "Daily Mai'." says that tioss having tbc good of cricket at heart will regret tie outbreak of C. It. Parkin, particularly bis expression of resentmont 'sd strongly in print. Many bowlers in the p»9t have felt that they had a grievance, and believed themselves slighted by the captain, and have grumbled to friends, but' they have not been guilty of open mutiny. By hift anjry outburst Parkin htik lost much of the eympathy which would have been his. The cricket critic of tho "Da'.ly Xews" says that Parkin will not find it necessary to refuse the invitation to play in the next Test becattso he haa not been selected. "Whether this is duo to the selectors' estimate of his bowling or expresses disapproval of his article is not known.

There is a rule that no player engaged in Tests Bhould writo or comment on them until the season is ended. Parkin - has not only broken tho rule, he has diivoa a coach and four through it. [Parkin, writing in tho "Weekly Dispatch," commented strongly on Gilligan's failure to use him es a bowler on the last morning of the South African Test.]

LONDON, June 22,

Tho "Daily Chronicle's" cricket writer; commenting on Parkin's aotion, says:—"lf is probable that tho Keenness of tho race between Parkin and Tato to take a, hundred wickets accentuated Parkin's sense of injustice.
