VOCE’S BOWLING
REASON FOR WITHDRAWAL. STATEMENTS AT NOTTS (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received January 17, 12.50. LONDON, Jan. 16. Tlie Notts Cricket Club discussion also centred on Voce’s withdrawal from the match with Australia. Dr Gould, the honorary secretary, was jeered when he declared that Lillev had informed him on the Tuesday morning that Voce was not really sound. “I examined Voce, who complained of pain in both shins, while pressure over the lower half of the tibia caused wincing. Rest was the only treatment, so I asked Voce to stand down.” Cr. Whitby read a document signed by Voce: “I hereby declare I was fit and willing to play. Any statement to the contrary is untrue.” “Woodfull secured what was wanted, namely an apology. Voce came to the ground ready to play. Ask liis missus,” declared Cr. Whitby. A prominent committeeman declared that the committee would probably not await the annual meeting but resign immediately en bloc. The committee’s report made clear that it did not reflect on Larwood’s bowling.
