EIGHT-BALL OVER
CONDEMNED BY GILLIGAN.
SAYS STRAIN IS TOO GREAT,
(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received-May 15, 9.25 o.m. LONDON, May 14. The Daily Mail states that A. E. R. Gilligan, who captained the English cricket team in its visit to Australia, when a guest of the Sussex dub, emphatically described the eight-ball over as the rottenest thing over invented. He said the entire team wag opposed thereto. If the Australians wanted it they should have ft, but he did not sec why the English team should be compelled to submit to the strain. —Sydney Sun cable.
