HAVE DONE WITH THIS FILCHING.
STEALING OF CRICKETERS FROM AUSTRALIA AROUSES CRITIC. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received January 24. 11.30 a.m.) LONDON. January 23. The “Observer’s” cricketing critic comments: “That an English club should be willing to take two internationals from Australia amount to a cricketing crime. If we call ourselves sportsmen we cannot condon£ this filching. Such desertions should be made impossible. When Australia loses her best bowler, as in 1921, and now has her brightest young batsman lured away, Australia may begin to revise lier opinions of British sportsmanship. Let us have done with such nefarious practices, which indicate that either England possesses little sportsmanship, or Is played out, and has no homegrown material.”
