CRICKET

LONDON, October 1

Referring to the cabled extracts from Australian cricketers’ newspaper articles, the “Daily Express” comments: “It is clear that the Australians are engaged in a form of propaganda similar to that which heralded their visit to England in 1926. English followers of the game are well advised to discount advance criticism. The M.C.C. team and the Australians are simply whistling to keep up their courage.” HOCKEY.
