MACLAREN ON THE CAMPAIGN

Headers will probab'.y remember the exciting series of articles contributed by Ranjitsinhji to the Australasian "Review of Reviews" during the course of the last English Eleven's tour in Australia. Mr. A. C. Maclaren has undertaken during the present visit to supply similar articles to the "Review," and the first of his contributions appear in the current issue (November), just to hand. It makes interesting reading, and gives promise that the collection will be quite up, if not superior, to Ranji's. Whilst not afraid to criticise, Mr. Maclaren does so in a perfeetely friendly manner, and his remarks will doubtless be accepted in the spirit in which they are written. The articles are to be accompanied by photographs, and we shall look forward with expectant interest for the. remainder of the set. No. I—the one bef»re us at present—opens with a note on the changed conditions of the international matches, goes on to discuss the representative nature of the visiting team, touches on the "umpire question," and concludes with a racy, description of the individual players.
