BOMBS SPOIL BOWLERS.
England's national game is threatened by the war. Bomb-throwing is spoiling some of the best cricketers. "We haven't a decent bowler left," writes a young soldier to bis folks in England. "They have all been bombing, with the result that lliey appear to think they are sfiJl throwing hand grenades when they arc on tbe cricket pitch, and we gut nothing but 'donkey drops' of the worst kind." Iv bomb-throwing the arm stops above the head, and there is no "followthrough."
