WILL NOT FLAY ON SUNDAY
FLAT REFUSAL BY J.C. HOBBS. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Delhi, November 18. “Nothing will induce me to play cricket on Sunday,” declared J. C. Hobbs. “I never have, and never will.” When it was pointed out that Sunday was the only day on which thousands could attend an important match he remarked that he was extremely sorry, but could not go against his principles. He was brought up in a religious atmosphere, taught to respect the Sabbath, and he did not wish to do anything to injure the cause of Christianity in this country.
