THE GAME OF CRICKET.
DEGENERATING INFLUENCES. United Press Assn.— By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, November 16. J. V. Cromb, tlie New Zealand cricketer, arrived by* the Strathnaver. Interviewed, he said that Australians contemplating joining league clubs in England would find conditions vastly different from what they* were accustomed to here. The game was sometimes won without regard to the true spirit of cricket. The new player would find a car at his door for the first fortnight, but if he could not get his fifties, besides capturing wickets, club officials would not recognise him in the street.
Cromb paid a tribute to Constantine’s influence in the league. His presence would life a gate fror £2U to £IOO.
