EMPHATIC DENIAL
LARWOOD BOWLED AT BODY
DID BALL RISE HIGH?
(Received May 9, 1 p.m.) LONDON, May 8. Thomas Moult, in the "Daily , Telegraph" says that a special meeting of the M.C.C. to consider the reports of Jardine, Warner, and Palairet will be held directly Warner returns from Amorica this week. On general principle Warner, ' Wyatt, and Sutcliffe are definitely opposed to tho use of the log-theory in England. The emphatic denial that L&iwood bowled outside the leg stump during the Tests and therefore at the batsman's body has cleared the air considerably.. For the M.C.C. to bo convinced of tho fairness of the method it only remains to establish that Larwood didn't make the ball rise in order to endanger the batsman's head. LarwoodV deliveries were seldom higher than the batsman's thighs, it was the spectacular manner the batsmen, ducked that made the bowling look dangerous. . The M.C.C. will also consider the circumstances of Larwood's interview.
