CRICKET. TRIBUTES TO HOBBS. Press Association— By Telegraph—Copyright, LONDON, Angust 18. Tlic newspapers, in editorials, pay tribute to Hobbs. The ‘ Daily Telegraph,’ recalling his nine centuries against Australia., says: “ Great mother of batsmen though she is, even Australia has none superior to Jack Hobbs —not even Victor Trumper himself. It is not merely that he is an artist at the wickets, not merely that ho has such perfect strokes—it is rather that he has all the strokes. When Hobbs bats there is batsmanship.” The ‘Morning Post,’ after reviewing Hobbs’s qualities, says finally i “Ho is a complete sportsman, and we at any rate should not feel that cosmos would become chaos if he captained England in test matches.”—A. and N.Z.
