INDIAN CRICKETERS
Reference at Dinner PLAYERS TAKE OFFENCE CALCUTTA, Feb. 14. With the one exception of Dilawar Hussein, the Indian test team, which yesterday lost its third match against Jardine’s M.C.C. team, refused last evening to attend a dinner given by the Madras Cricket Club to both elevens.
The reason was that the Indians were offended by a reference made by Europeans at a previous official dinner to “Na.yudu and his band of hired assassins,” who followed Jardine’s team over the country, playing against them everywhere. At the second dinner Jardine made reference to Frank Tarrant's state-
ment that he had a world-wide reputation—when criticising Jardine for objecting to his umpiring in the third test match—and said that cricketers were not considered to be worldrenowned until they played in a test match.
