NOTTS COMMITTEE M*Y BE ASKED TO RESIGN SPECIAL MEETING CALLED '.C.VITKI, PUBSS ASSOCIATION—BV ELECTRIC TELEGBAPH—COPYBIGHT.) LONDON, January 2. Councillor H. S. Whitby, a former Lord Mayor of Nottingham and one of the most prominent members of the club, has called an extraordinary meeting of the Nottingham County Cricket Club, at which he will propose, unless the committee's report on Voce's withdrawal during the Notts-Australia match is satisfactory, that the committee should be called on to resign en bloc. The requisition also demands to know whether the club received from Ihe Marylebone Cricket Club any instructions or recommendations regarding so-called body-line bowling. Mr Whitby, interviewed, said: "Members of the Notts Club are up in arms at having news from Australia of an apology of which thev know nothing. "My object is not to damage the club but to prevent further resignations. It is reported that more than 100 members have resigned. "Public opinion in Nottingham is solidly behind Larwood and Voce. Their living is at stake, and they cannot speak. Someone must protect them." The committee will meet on January 16. KIA OKA V.
