BODYLINE BOWLING NOTTS PEACE RESOLUTION. Press Association Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received Friday, 10.25 a.m.) LONDON, Thursday. The Nottingham Cricket Club unanimously carried a peace resolution, approving the Advisory Committee’s definition of direct attack., A cable on 21st November last stated; —The M.C.C. Committee has issued a statement in which it says it considers there had been evidence of cases of a bowler deliberately attacking a batsman on various occasions last season. Consequently, in order to remove misunderstanding as to what constitutes a direct attack, and is therefore unfair, the committee" ruled that it consists of persistent and systematic bowling of fast, short-pitched balls at batsmen standing clear of the wicket. The committee is instructing umpires that any action to’ prevent this type of bowling will be strongly supported by the committee. “HANDS ACROSS THE SEA.’’ (Received Friday, 12.20 »p.m.) LONDON, Thursday. The Notts Cricket Club’s annual meeting was attended by 1500 persons. Mr McGraith said: ‘‘ The peace motion has been described as’ unnecessary, iii view of the so-called conciliation meeting, which, however, comprised only six members, who were not authorised to bind the others. The controversy was now ended, but the necessity to play the spirit of the game in addition to the letter is as great as previously.

' Mr Adams, leader of the non-confid-ence group on 16th January, in second 1 ing the motion, said he thought something in addition to the motion ought to be done to allay the miserable unrest. “If Bowes or Clark try bodyline, resulting in the Marylebone Club wishing to act, Marylebone will find the strongest support in Nottinghamshire. (Cheers.) ’ We possess binding links in sport. Let us forge these links as hands across the sea.(( INTER-COLLEGE GAME.
