CRICKET RULING
3.15 P.M. EDITION
BODY-LINE LAW. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received November 24, 9.55 a.m. SYDNEY, Nov. 24. The news of the M.C.C. statement on bonding was received with great satisfaction in cricket circles in Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. The only point about which doubt was expressed was that the responsibility of dealing with unfair bowlers was left in the hands of tl;e umpires without those officials being given any direction as to the action to be taken. W. M. Woodfull declined to comment, but T. W. Wall said he was glad Marylebone had taken steps to combat direct attacks by bonders on batsmen. W. A. Oldfield said: “This means the end of the body-line controversy and, naturally, I will be delighted.”
