AH Blacks Eulogised
SPECTATORS RESPONSE TO SPORTSMANSHIP. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. LONDON, January 10. The Times in an editorial, after eulogising the All Blacks and Now Zealand cricketers for playing their utmost seriously, but always with a sense of what the great game means, proceeds: “Each match as it is played is a game. The result matters of course, but at the end of the tour it will not be spoken of in terms of points for and against. It is thought of and remembered as much by terms of companionship as by competition.” The article alludes to the two Australian cricket teams in Africa and India and continues: “They will challenge England shortly and it will be a crowning glory if these contests can show that the game is even when raised to the power of a great spectacle. It is still an occasion- to be enjoyed by- the players in a manner once more exemplified by the All Blacks with an inevitable response by tho spectators to their sportsmanship.
