CRICKETERS' WIVES
IKOMfGAi COMMENT Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, January 8. (Received t January 9, at 9.10 a.m.) The ‘ Daily Express,’ in a leader, says: “ Australia's secret is at last revealed. Why has she been able to keep those asbesP Because she sternly separates cricketers from wives, not only in test matches here, but m interstate matches within the Commonwealth. Is it possible to hope our cricketers will emulate this Spartan example and make temporary widows of their wives in order to meet the wifeless Diggers on equal terms? How can they expect to bat, bowl, and field with wives figuratively around their necks. But perhaps a wife is only a handicap in Australia, and our men can blond cricket with connubiality.”—A. and N.Z. Cable. Parkin, in the ‘ Daily Mail,’ say's: “J. have a painful recollection of having had to darn my'own socks in Australia. I will never travel again without a wife.”—Sydney ‘Sun’ Cable.
