McCAfeE’S HARD HITTING. [BY CABLE —PBEBB ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] (Received Octbber 28, 10.30 a.m.) StONEY, October 27. Playing for Klpphx’s team against Paddington, in a charity match, McC;lbe scoffed 107 ih fifty-seven minutes. He liit thirty-eight in one over, including five sixers. Kippax made ninety-one and Bradmafi sixty-six. “DEFENCE” OF BRADMAN. LONDON, October 27. The “Daily Telegraph,” admitting that Don Bradmhh will give a great fillip to Lancashire cticket, says: No time spbrtsnian wants to see cricketers bought and sold like merchandise or Soccer footballers. It points out that Bradman took a nowise blameworthy part iii the negotiations. Actually, the villain of the piece, it says has been the Board of Control in deducting £5O from Bradmans’ bonus as the restilt of his journalistic activities In England. The Board’s officiousness was perhitps mistaken, but it would be possible to sympathise with a body that whs confronted by a slightly mutinous cricketer, who whs backed by his nation to the last adoring mdn, woffian arid child.
