POPULAR CRICKETER
WELCOME TO CONSTANTINE "Tho most striking feature of the opening day of tho cricket test between the West indies and England at Manchester was tho reception Constantino had from the spectators," says a London writer: "I have scon many welcomes to cricketers who have done well when away on their first appearance at Lord's and the Oval. Jardine, for example, had a great greeting when he first stepped on to an English field after his recent Australian tour. But nothing has exceeded tho welcome given to Constantino. A spectator turned to me and said: 'After this, can anyone dispute that Lancashire want Constantino to play for them?' It was quite obvious that Constantino's value as a commercial asset is far too great to be disregarded,"
