FREAK LUNCHEON TO A TEAM.
ROOM LIKE A CRICKET FIELD. LONDON, August 12. Sir Julie Cahn’s cricket team, which is to tour Canada and the United States, was entertained at a freak luncheon at Claridge’s to-day. The room was arranged like a cricket field. “Grass” covered the floor, and the tables were arranged in field positions, with the chairman and the principal guests in the places of the batsmen and bowler. The menu was like a score-card, and described the luncheon as a “twohours’ match.” The Dominions’ Secretary, Mr J. H. Thomas, said the British Commonwealth took some managing, but no politics had caused so much trouble as “body-line.” It was bad, he said, to revive, day after day, a controversy which engendered bad feeling between the two peoples.
