CRICKET FOR GIRLS
"LEGGY DAYS OF FEMININE PKOWESS." (United Press Association.—Copyright.) (Sydney Sun Cable.) (Received 24th March, 10 a.m.) LONDON, 23rd March. The "Standard," commenting on the refusal of many clubs to provide facilities for girls to play cricket, says: "It is odd that women's cricket should be thought ridiculous in these leggy days of feminine prowess, as cricket was the first game ever seriously played by girls' schools. Further, it was a girl, handicapped'by'the crinoline, who first invented over-arm bowling."
