A CRICKETING CRIME
OFFERS TO AUSTRALIANS. AN OUTSPOKEN CRITIC. (Pres* Association—By Te legiaph —Copy right.) LONDON, January 23. The Observer’s cricketing critic comments: “That an English club should be trilling to take two international players from Australia amounts to a cricketing crime. If we call ourselves sportsmen we cannot condone this filching. Such desertions should be made impossible. When Australia loses her best bowler, as she did in 1921, ' and now has her brightest young batsman lured away, the Australians may begin to revise their opinions of British sportmansship. Let us have done with such nefarious practices, which indicate that either England possesses " little sportsmanship or is played out and has no home-grown materail.”—A. and N.Z. Cable.
