FEW FAST BOWLERS FOR AUSTRALIAN TOUR.
(United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, May 16. The dearth of fast bowlers available for the Australian cricket tour is being widely canvassed. Sandham deplores the fact that the counties do not sufficiently' search the village greens for hefty possibles. He ia astounded to see finely built youths who will not try to develop pace. Hobbs says: “In my early' days every county' had a good fast bowler. Nowadays they have to jump at the worst offering. I think the modem strain of the game wears them out more quickly.”—Australian Press Association.
