CRICKET
LEG-THEORY DEBATE. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYBIGHT.] (Recd. July 31, 1 p.m.) LONDON, July 30. Even the crowds are becoming resentful of leg-theory, and showed annoyance when Smith (Leicestershire) exploited it, pitching very short against Notts. Gilligan, writing in the “NewsChonicle,” declares: Although the leg theory is excluded from the agenda for to-morrow’s Imperial Cricket Conference, preliminary conversations are bound to arise. Those who favoured the leg theory changed their opinion after seeing it at Manchester. The majority of the County captains deplore its continuance. Practically every first-class cricketer would be glad if it were banned, yet Marylebone is in a quandary, as the abolition would be hailed in Australia as a censure of Jardine.
