“BABY CRICKET”
MELBOURNE ONLOOKERS’ LOST SENSE OF HUMOUR.
United Press Association—By Electrie Telegraph—Copyright. Received Monday 7.5 p.m. LONDON, March 4.
The Daily News, in a leader entitled “Baby Cricket,” says the English wont be disturbed by the illogical antics of a section of the Melbourne crowd. The reason' for the barracking was so childish fhal it removes all the sting from its effects —a protest against a fast- bowler dismissing a “rabbit.” It is scarcely credible in a children’s cricket match on the sands. Larwood would have done well to toss Ironmonger a lot and thus have restored the crowd’s Benso of humour, which was so unaccountably mislaid.
