OH. THOSE EMPIRES!

ENGLISHMEN AMUSED

MELBOURNE, March 1. Tlie English cricketers enjoyed everv moment of their stay at Goulburii and Bathurst. Tltey think the are among the prettiest m Tin- world. But. oh. those umpires! They do not impute any desire to be unfair to them. Fill (speaking more in sorrow than in angei, believe they should be coached _ intensely upon the fine' points oi the frame. Four at least of the players are reallv laughing' over the manner of their'dismissal in. one or other of the games. , Mead is declared jo have oecn at least two feet away from the leg stump, when he played a ball on to his outside log••'(Jut.’’ exclaimed the umpire, and “our' went Mead, a& becomes a real cricketer Then the gentle-mannered rais> Hendren thought a little friendly advice might not be out of place. “You know," he murmured, in Ins mildest voice', “that soil of tiling

spoils cricket ” . The umpire muttered something in reply, tlendren ran for jin ea;v run. hut Nemesis was on his trail. At the time it was mentioned that TTendi'On was a yard inside Ills crease when he was given out. Some declared he. was more than that. _Still Hendren accepted the inevitable, and departed to join his pal, Phil Mead, among the spectators. In one of the games Leyland played a ball towards silly point. Tt lauded, it is stated, six niches in front of the fieldsman, who is said to have picked up a handful of (rrass with the bad m making a halt volley of it. That man didn’t appeal,’ but somebody on the outskirts, it is asserted, did, and Leyland waamong the slain. These stories were told amid many a laugh, but the Englishmen were serious when eulogising the fielding capabilities of their country opponents. They were marvellous, fhev declase, pullmg down catches which appeared almost impossible. and fielding ground shots in superb style
