AUSTRALIAN BARRACKERS
Herbert Strudwick's Impressions.
AMUSING TALES DOWN UNDER
In view of the M.C.C."'z complaint against barracking in Australia the following article by Harbert Strudwick, probably the finest wicket-keeper England has produc led, is very interesting.
Struncick was the idol of the Kennington Oval crowd until- as recently as siz years ago. He is now official scorer for Surrey, for whom Douglas Jardine, the England) skipper, is captain.

"Sometimes they overdo. their shouting, but on the whole the loud-; voiced Australian spectator is more of a help to the game than a kandi- cap.
"The knowledge that the poten- tial barracker is there, watching with eagle, discerning eyes, keeps the player on his toes. He knows what's coming to him if he runs foul of the folk thronging the boundary!
"Why is Australian fielding gen- Jerally better than England's? Part ly, any rate, because of the barrack ing. Slackness of any kind, and aspecially on the part of a fieldsman, anathema to the Australian spectator. And the guilty one is left under no delusions as to his weakness!

CONSTANTINE AND THE TEST · MATCHES
M.C.C's Request To Nelson
Manchester, May 6. The display of batsmanship. at Lord's yesterday by Coa- stantine, the West Indies cric keter, has had a remarkable sequel. It is revealed by Nel- son, the Lancashire League -club, for whom Constantine plays as professional, that the M.C.C. have requested them to release Constantine foran three Test matches between
England and the West Indies, instead of for the Manchester fixture only.
No oficial decision has yet been reached by Nelson, but the chairman of the club con- siders it unlikely that the per- mission will be given. "We have been very generous as it le," he said to-day, and in Constantine's abacace last Saturday Nelson not only lost, but the gate dropped to £69. If he had been playing it would have doubled that Agure."
Constantine will play for Lancashire in the two matches against Yorkshire' this season.
