SIR J. CAHN'S TEAM ROOM LIKE CRICKET FIELD LONDON, Aug. 12 Sir Julien Calm's cricket team, which is to tour Canada and the United States,- was entertained at a freak luncheon at Claridge's to-day. . The room was arranged like a cricket field. " Grass" covered the floor, and the tables were arranged in field positions, with the -chairman and the principal guests in tho places of the batsmen and bowler. The menii.was like a score-card, and described tho luncheon as a "two-hours' match." The Dominions' Secretary, Mr. J. H. Thomas, said tho British Commonwealth took some managing, but no politics had caused so much trouble as " body-line." It was bad, he said, to revive, day after day, a controversy which engendered bad feeling between the two peoples.
