LEG-THEORY BOWLING
EXPLOITATION IN ENGLANDCROWDS BECOME RESENTFUL. LONDON, July 30. Even the crowds are becoming resentful of the leg theory. Annoyance was shown by the crowd' present when Smith, of Leicestershire, exploited it pitching very short against Notts. Gilligan, writing in the News-Chronicle, declares that although the matter of the leg theory is excluded from the agenda for to-morrow's Imperial Cricket Conference, .preliminary conversations are bound to arise. Those who favoured the leg theory changed their opinion after seeing it at Manchester. The majority of the county captains deplore its continu■ance, and practically every first class cricketer would be glad if it was banned. Yet Marylehone is in a quandary, as its abolition would be hailed in. Australia as a censure on Jardine.
