CRICKET.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —One hears a lot about the cricket atmosphere existing in England. Lord’s, for example, is said to fairly reek with it. Surely anyone getting a good sniff of this tony air would feel a new man, and feel, if only for the time, that it was impossible to do anything which might be classed not cricket. What a pity we could not transport some of this uplifting air to our local grounds, Logan Park for instance. I am no authority on atmospheres, but I am willing to wager that the air which floats about this particular ground is very far removed from a cricket air. While playing on this ground a member of one team had a valuable wrist watch stolen. You may say or think that he should not have left it in bis clothes. Possibly so, but in this case he forgot and paid the penalty. On another occasion a member of the same team had a more embarrassing experience. At the conclusion of the game this unfortunate on going to his clothes found his shoes gone. Search high and low, blasphemy, and muttered maledictions, all were fruitless. Even the brown paper which was around his cricket boots was gone. However, “ praise the Lord ” his trousers were afflr there with two buttons intact in the, pockets, so he cycled the twelve miles to his home in his cricket boots. —I remain, etc.. Size Seven.
