LEG THEORY BOWLING
“QUITE WRONG” UMPIRE’S OPINION (Bloc. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Received February 24, 2 p.m.) CALCUTTA, Feb. 23. Air. Tarrant, who umpired the first two tests in India, told an interviewer, .when lie was asked for bis opinion on Avluit was called bodyline in Australia and leg theory bowling in England, that not having seen the matches in Australia he was under the impression that it was the leg theory bowling practised by Foster and Hirst and quite justifiable. After seeing it exploited in India under the guidance of Jardine he came to the conclusion that it was quite wrong. He had had a chance of seeing and hearing things, and was now definitely satisfied that Clark bowled at the batsmen with the intention of intimidating them. When Juvaraj got a four the next ball narrowly missed his head, lie got another four, and again the next ball just missed his head. Had the young prince been hit the crowd would probably have rushed the ground. Jardine realised this and took Clark off. Clark had only-bowled one over when he hit Naoomi, Air. Tarrant is returning to' Australia.
