BIG HIT AT CRICKET.
[BRADMAN BREAKS WINDOWS.
Flaying in a picnic match at Callan Park recently, says a Sydney newspaper, Don Bradman broke two windows of a neighbouring house by a mighty stroke. The indignant householder confiscated the ball and refused to return it. The match was between teams captained by T H. Bosward and B. J. Folkard. It provided a day of merry cricket, nearly 600 runs being scored. Bradman made 143—giving a characteristic display that was greatly appreciated. One stroke sent the ball over a high wall, and it crashed through the window of a house Darling Road. The ball then rebounded through another window. A fieldsman called at the house and asked for /the ball. "It will be returned," he was informed by a startled but determined woman, "when the damage is paid for." Ko amount of persuasion could make her hand over the ball, and a new ball was brought into play Bradman was particularly severe on A. 'A. Mailey, and it was off his bowling that the window-smashing stroke was made.
