Prince Charles As A Cricketer
LONDON, May 1. Prince Charles went back to school today and afterwards showed that he is a “demon bowler” on a cricket pitch, the “Evening Standard” reported. With two consecutive balls of his second over—strictly underarm style—he clean-bowled one of the other boys. Two balls later, the young Prince clinched the dismissal by running out the same batsman.
It was all very friendly and unorthodox cricket. The boys played in groups of nine.
In the first 30 minutes Prince Charles batted three times—longhandle, cross-bat style—bowled twice, and kept wicket once.
Jamaican’s Complaint. Dick Henderson, a Jamaican. has packed his five war-time medals and sent them to the Queen. He has asked Her Majesty to accept with all due respect the “white man’s medals” because, when he and a coloured companion arrived to start work digging trenches for water mains at Middlesbrough, three regular labourers, refused to work with them. The coloured men were turned away. “During the war, I was considered a white man, but when it comes to earning a living I am considered black,” said Henderson.—London. May 1.
