BOARD OF CONTROL’S DEMAND.

[by cable—press assn.—copyright.] LONDON, September 30. While the contents of the Australian Cricket Board of Control’s cablegram are still kept undisclosed by the M.C.C., the “Daily Herald” publishes a Sydney cablegram, saying that the Board demands an unqualified guarantee that there shall be no bodyline bowling, or, otherwise, the arrangements for an Australian tour of England will be cancelled. The “Daily Herald’s” correspondent states: The decision of the Australian Board followed one of the most heated discussions in the history of Australian cricket. The “Daily Herald” describes this as being an extraordinary position, which, it says, comes “just when everybody had taken it for granted that the bodyline dispute had been allowed 1 to die a natural death.” CHAIRMAN’S DENIAL. (Reed. October 2, 8 a.m.) SYDNEY, October 1. Mr R. Oxlade, Chairman of the Board of Control, flatly denies the “Daily Herald” report. He said that the Board had not made any demands on the M.C.C., nor was there a heated discussion on bodyline at the Board’s meeting. Mr Oxlade added: The contents of our cablegram to Marylebone will not be made known until they are dealt with. POSTPONEMENT OF TESTS. LONDON, October 1. “The Observer” advocates l at least one year’s postponement of cricket tests. It says: Memories of the dead set, against Jardine, and his team mates, will be too vivid next summer for the Australians to have an unclouded welcome, which everyone wishes them to enjoy.
