HOW TATE BOWLS.
FWM 'WEADS. THU BATSMEN'S FUZZLfi OVEIS OPINION OF. KEU>BW ■ r ~ i, By Telegraph- Pres? Assn —CopjrigM;' deceived April 13, fi Bp m. 1 London, April llj. KelleWay, In the Daily Express day, said he had witnessed a slow tlon film, showing Tate bowling. IW says i “Tate’s bowling astonished and mystified the world. It is wonderful because Tate admits he doee not knoitj how ho does it. I played against Tat« and have been puzzled as his hand and fingers gave no indication of the nature of the ball. You have to learn Tate carefully, like a new lesson. His differ" ent deliveries do not vary according td rules, but according to Tate. In onA test, Tate bowled outswingers and off breaks. I thought I knew him, ami shaped to put one to leg, but the ball after swinging, turned off toward slid and I was caught at the wicket, which is most puzzling. “I had the picture slowed down, to ecB if I could account for tbe deviation id flight and the extraordinary nip with which Tate’e most dangerous ball corned off the pitch. Tate held the seam of the ball between hie first and second fingers. There was the slightest flick of the wrist from right to left, and hie whole arm and shoulder seem follow the ball in its flight. The trq« jeetory is remarkably low. There id great body effort. I am confident, aftef seeing this wonderful picture, that Ik is possible to tell exactly how each, particular delivery will act, after leay* Ing Tate'e hand.” AUSTRALIANS IN SWITZERLAND, Received April 13, 5. p.m. London, April 13. The Australian cricketers have arrived at Montreux, in Switz.erland, from Mi" lan. All are well, except Hendry, who ]g fiuffeijing from a touch of internal poisoning.
