WIDENING BREACH

LARWOOD'S OUTBURST

CONDEMNED IN AUSTRALIA

(Received May 8, 1 p.m.) * SYDNEY, This Day. Commenting upon La'rwood's article, the "Sydney Morning Herald" states: " Larwood 'a outburst concerning Australian players and crowds will further widen the breach existing between the two countries and will cause embarrassment to tho Australian Board of Control and the M.C.C." Mr. E. A. Dwyer, one of the Australian Test selectors, says: "Having seen all the Tests, I am filled with indignation at such a preposterous outburst. It is utter nonsense to speak of our players as cowards. The bruised bodies of Woodfull and other batsmen provided rather a sad answer to Larwood and the team's 'win at any price' tactics at Adelaide.". V. T. Richardson, Australia's vicecaptain, says there was no doubt that England won. because of body-line bowling. It was clever of Larwood to suggest that because he got lbw decisions he was not bowling at the man. When certain players were out he played cricßet as it should be played. He bowled at the wicket, but the damage had been done by then. Dr. C. E. Dolling, a Test selector, said: "It is a great-pity to see such a magnificent bowler as Larwood sink' to such depths as to speak in this manner. Larwood would be' well advised to use less presumption and refrain from criticising euch fine sportsmen as Woodfull and Bradman."
