BRITAIN AND BODY-LINE
CROWDS SHOW ANNOYANCE
M.C.C. IN QUANDABY
United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph— Copyright (.Received July 31, 1 p.m.) LONDON-, July 30. Even the crowds arc becoming resentful of leg-thuory cricket, and showed annoyance when Smith, for Leicestershire, exploited it by pitching very short against Notts. A. E. Gilligan, writing ill tho "NewsChrouiclo," declares that although the leg-theory is excluded from tho agenda at tomorrow's Imperial Cricket Conference,, preliminary conversations are bound ko arise. Those who favoured the leg-theory havo< changed their opinion after seeing it at Manchester. The majority of county captains deplore its continuance, and practically every first-class cricketer would be glad if it were' banned. Yet the M.C.C. is in a quandary, as abolition would be hailed in Australia as a censuro on Jardine.
