POPULAR ENTHUSIASM
PROGRESS OF GAME A NOVEL INVENTION United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, 14th December. An indication of the great enthusj iasrn. and kconnes3 in the cricket Test' is that the evening newspaper, besides issuing special editions, erected hoardings outside the offices on. which the progress of the scores was posted and witnessed by thousand of people, but the march of science was again strikingly exemplified by an electrically controlled invention outside the "Evening News." This depicted the actual cricket pitch and tho movements of the ball after leaving tho bowler's hand, also whero it travelled to after being hit. Two discs represented tho batsmen at either end. When they ran, so the discs would niovo backwards or forwards, crease to crease, even indicating I tho batsmen's hesitancy to steal an. extra run, and whenever tho ball reached the boundary a big crowd of spectators, who were thus able fully to visualise the finer points of the game taking place three miles away, cheered lustily.
