COMMENT IN LONDON
TWO OPPOSITE VIEWS
(Received Ist February, 11 a-m.)' LONDON, 31st January. The "Evening Standard, 1' in' a leader, says:—"Though the leg theory argument is temporarily ended, the cessation has not been achieved in the happiest possible way. The board's reply is ungracious and positively sulky. It makes no amends for the tmconthness and untdmeliness of the original eabje, and it also promises the revival of the dispute under unpropitious circumstances immediately the tour is over.*? Though, it agrees with the necessity for the investigation, of leg theory grievances, the 'Standard" declares that the board in the same breath, prejudges the subject and appoints a committee to consider it.
The "Star," on the other hand, praises the board's reply as a great, leap toward reasonableness. ""We have heard the voice of the' barracker, and now hear_ the voice of cricket statesmanship instead of nasty -words like 'unsportsmanlike.' It would be a pity to ; have two sets of rules for Empire cricket, but when, we have thoroughly defeated" Australia under the present rules, there is no reason why we should not alter them, and beat her again."
