TOURING CRICKETERS AND WIVES
AUSTRALIAN ARGUMENT ENGLISH COMMENT ON RULE (Received December 28, 7.10 p.m.) LONDON, December 28. The "Daily Telegraph," in a « leading article, entitled "Contracting Out of Wives," says: "That a wife is not cricket seems a scandalous proposition; yet we acquit the Board of Control of any misogamy in contemplating the enforcement of the old rule regarding wives. Their principle is that no man can serve two masters. "Trouble is now threatened because Bradman is thought, believed, or rumoured to deny that the Board of Control has any powers over his matrimonial affairs. Though Mrs Bradman has been married a year, half Australia whispers that Bradman is not likely to come to England without her. In the face of such devotion, what use is the sacrifice of the other hero, O'Reilly, who is reconciled to the thought of leaving his wife behind. We can only hope that all possible tragedies will be averted."
