CRICKET COLOR LINE
DULEEP’S ALLEGATION BULLIED BY OFFICIALS (Klee. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) LONDON, Dec. 6. K. S. Duleepsinhji, writing in tho Star, says: “It is not easy for an Indian to enter first-class cricket. I continued, despite a year’s insults, because I loved the game and wanted to reach the highest class, namely, the Anglo-Australian tests. In 1929 I heard that influential people told the selectors that I must not bq chosen for tests, even if I made a century for Gentlemen against Players, enabling the public to demand my inclusion. Thereupon, ‘sporting gentlemen, the pillars of English cricket,’ said ‘that’s all right. We will see he does not play for Gentlemen.’ ’’ Duleepsinhji concluded: “I now desire to lie left alone as I cannot any longer bo bullied by officials.”
