NOBLE'S DECISION.

THE USE OF RESIN

. ■■ . ■ SYDNEY, Jan. 19. JNoble gives his decision, as to whether he will play in the Test matches on January 27. Discussing the Englishmen's objection to resin, Noble declared that he always used it for the fieldsmen; also that its use would not enable the ball to break more. It simply prevents the ball from slipping. The same advantage ■could be gained by rubbing the ball on the ground. . Hopkins said the Australians used it m England. He had never heard o£ any objection there.
