CONFESSIONS OF RHODES. ' l a r'i • ' . secret' of his success. Australian ai\d N.Z,,.Ca,ble Association. '(Reed. 8.5 p.m.) LONDON, Aug. 23. The English test match bowler, Rhodes, made a. statement which was broadcasted by wireless 'throughout England. He said he wanted to confess that every time he bowled he tried to impart a spin to the ball, but sometimes the ball" did something he did not expect. It was when this happened that he very often secured a wicket. A good length and plain straight bowling had virtue, but it would not dismiss a good batsman in a month. ■ " • Rhodes said he was as happy as a schoolboy when England won the final test match. He was more anxious last week than he was in his first test match 27 years ago. ' . . He said he was disinclined to believe that veterans would not play in future tests. If Jack Hobbs retained his normal health he would go to Australia in two years' time. He was as great as over he was. "What I have done," said Rhodes, "Jack can do." It is announced that while Rhodes was Welding "at the Oval he strained a muscle •in his right leg. He has been advised to rest. •; RECEIPTS FROM MATCHES. DETAILS OF DIVISION. Australian and N.Z.
