London, Yesterday. The voice of Major Faulkner was well known to wireless listeners for his broadcast criti- cism of the last Test Match, and more recently for the discussion between him and Jack Hobbs on "Cricketers and Cricket.'
The Secretary of his cricket school found him dead on the floor of his room at nine in thei morning. The office was full of gas, the radiator being turned on and all the windows and doors shut.
The school with which Major Faulkner was connected had been! in existence for six years and was largely used for public schoolboys' training. Many prominent County cricketers had practised there.
