CRICKET.

TAAIPERING WITH THE BALL

ALLEGATION DISCUSSED

SIT CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPVRIiIGT, LONDON, Sep. 3. Arising out of recent allegations in a cricket match against Worcester that an amateur bowler tampered with the seam of the ball in order to gain a greater swing, a writer in the Evening Standard asks: “Is there authority te stop such a- practice ?” He recalls that nobody objected to Tate wiping the ball with a towel against the Africans and also mentions the story of a notec. bowler who keeps his pocket filled with powdered resin, in which he frequently dips his bowling hand. No name is mentioned, but it is understood that it was among the incidents recounted when the Englishmen recently returned from Australia. The Worcester incident is likely to be investigated by the Alarylebone Club. Writers agree that the only rule covering the incident is the broad leproof, “It isn’t cricket.” Ply AYERS V. GENTLEMEN. rt Y CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRHIGT. LONDON, Sep. 3. Playing for the Gentlemen, Jupp made 49. Tate took three for 59 and Kennedy three for 66. —Reuter.
