SUCCESS IN CRICKET
LEAVENING OF AMATEURS [ from OUR OWN correspondent] By Air Mail LONDON. May 13 I'n his new book, "The King of Games," Frank Woollev, the England and Kent left-hand cricketer, remarks: —• "Cricket is a well-born and well-bred game. Therefore it shuns rather than courts publicity. For it the gentle and pleasing amenities of the village green, not the braying noisiness of jazz bands." "There have been cases," ho says. | 'where cricketers have lost interest in the game because of fault-finding and unkindly criticism. Some amateurs have been driven out of the game for practically no other reason. We professionals know well enough that our Knglish cricket is never so strong as when it has a good leaven of amateurs."
