SENSATION IN INDIAN MATCH. COLOMBO, February 25. Clark’s action in damaging the wicket in the M.C.C.-Ceylon and India match has caused a sensation. Valen-1 tine, the M.C.C. deputy captain, in apologising to the India and Ceylon captain, said that he could not understand why Clark acted so, and he had “ told him off ’ ’ emphatically. Val■entine demanded that Clark apologise, but this Clark refused to do. Marriott, who was batting with Clark, said: ”1 am ashamed. I have never seen it before. I was too astounded to call Clark to stop. I felt like returning to the pavilion without batting.” (The incident in point occurred in M.C.C.’s last partnership. Clark dug a hole in the pitch with his boot at the spot for a good length ball. He was pulled up by the umpire. Valentine apologised for Clark’s conduct).
