NEW BODY-UNE RULE
UMPIRES CRITICAL
"RIDICULOUS IMPOSITION"
(Received May 4, 11 a.m.) ' SYDNEY, This Day. Strong criticism was expressed at a meeting of the New South Wales Umpires' Association when the Board of Control's,now rule concerning bodyline bowling was discussed. Mr. W. Armstrong, secretary of the association, said: "Wo gather that the board seeks to put on umpires tho. onus of reading the bowler's mjnd. Th;s is a most ridiculous imposition. No umpire would take the responsibility of calling no-ball because ho could only imagine tho bowler was bowling at tho body." Other speakers said that if the new rule was adopted umpires must abide by it. Mr. Solomon said that body-lxne bowling as they saw it last season was bowling deliberately at the man. It was decided to defer further discussion until the matter came officially before the association.
