THE LEG THEORY IN ENGLAND.
M.C.C. MEMBERS PROTEST. TACTICS REGRETTED. LONDON, July 12. Seven members of the Marylebone Cricket Club, including Lord Suffield and Sir Home Gordon, in a joint letter, support the cricket writer of "The Times" in his criticism of the "deadly dull" leg theory in the university match. The paper adds: "We regret tactics which seem to savour of those employed in the Australian tests and which destroy the whole charm, spirit, and enjoyment of the game." UNIVERSITIES MATCH DRAWN. LONDON, July 12. Cambridge, first innings, made 209 (B. Allen 53, Owen-Smith five for 93). Oxford, second innings, lost six for 79. The match was drawn. West Indies, first innings, has lost two for 131 (Headley not out 64) against Lancashire. DEMPSTER'S SUCCESS. LONDON, July 12. The "Star" says that Lancashire is making strenuous efforts to secure C. S. Dempster permanently, because of his successes at Blackpool. It is understood that Dempster will assist Lancashire in mid-week games when his qualification period is ended.
