" OUTBURST OF STUDIED INSULTS." (KI'IMSHBS IN THI TIKIS.) . LONDON, 14th Augiurt. The newspapers strongly comment on the disorderly conduct at the Oval, particularly when. Tennyson had to have a police escort while inspecting the wicket. ■ LONDON, 15th August. Under the heading ''An Un-English Orowd," The Times condemns the outburst of studied insults hurled at the Australian v dressing-room at the Oval. It was, the paper says,- particularly regrettable in the presence of the Philadelphian team in th« pavilion, giving a false impression of the spirit in when, the Teats ,are played in England. The Times says: "A certain proportion of cricket followers take an ungenerous view of Armstrong's captaincy. Small noisy hands of hooligans are laying themselves out to insult him at every opportunity. There is also a feeling among many that the Australian crowds treated the English Eleven rather unkindly last winter, but Saturday's behaviour at the Oval wSs without excuse."
