HOW’S THAT?
Percy Chapman, English cricket captain, told this one at a cricketers’ dinner in Sydney. Macaulay, the Yorkshire all-round-er, is noted in England for the number of appeals he makes when howling, but he met his master when Bill Reeves, the old Essex professional, was umpiring. Miacaulay had made his usual number of appeals, until at last Reeves became tired of them. “Not out, doctor!” h© exclaimed when Macaulay shouted “How’s that?” » “What the »- do you mean by calling me, doctor?” demanded the irate Yorkshireman. “Well, you see,” calmly responded l Reeves “there’s only one man in England who makes more appeals than you, and that’s Dr Barnardo!” And the game went on.
