AVIATOR NOT REPORTED.

INTENDED TO FLY OVER MOUNT EVEREST. (Received May 23, 12.55 a.m.) LONDON, May 22. A Yorkshire man, Mr Maurice Wilson, left London on Sunday in a light aeroplane, intending to plant the Union Jack on the peak of Mount Everest. Since then he has not been reported.

Board of Control in its lamentable cablegram to the' Marylebone Club. "Had Larwood been an Australian he would have outrivalled Bradman in popularity and popular esteem. No fast bowler, English or Australian, can show a fairer or more convincing record." Crowds Out of Control. The article quotes in heavy type M. A. Noble's testimony that Larwood was not unfair and did not bowl at the man, and then proceeds: "The Marylebone Club paid Australia a compliment by sending the best team possible. We, on our part, paid our opponents a compliment by playing our best for Marylebone, though fn some quarters this has not apparently been appreciated as it might have been. The Australian Board could have helped a great deal, but these rulers of cricket, rightly or wrongly, did not see their way to do so. They failed, as on other tours, to control their crowds. "In the eyes of many Australians the board let Australia clown. For 20,000 or 30,000 people to participate in the counting-out of a bowler, or yell 'No ball,' or barrack the umpire, is neither sporting nor funny. In the long run, if not checked, I fear barracking may kill most of the "joy in the gsme. "I cannot praise the Marylebone team sufficiently. I was proud, indeed, as ought any captain to be, to lead such indomitables. The knowledge that I have been privileged to lead this band of good men and true to victory, and that I gained their loyal friendship in the process, will be treasured by me all my cricketing life."
