LARWOOD’S TALKS

“Tactless Blusterings” NEWSPAPER’S ADVICE London, October 16. The “Yorkshire Post,” in a leader on the player-journalist nuisance, headed “Shut Up,” says: “Larwood is telling the world what he will do and what he will not do regarding bodyline bowling; the comforting fact is that in the Test matches he will do what he is told. This hardly excuses his tactless blusterings. He rushed into print as soon as the team had returned. Apparently he is afflicted with a tendency to explain himself. No harm would be done to our relations with Australia if Larwood for one were restrained from such outbursts.” OPERATION ON FOOT London, October 16.
