COMMENT ON CRICKET. PROPOSALS
Australians edge one through the slips
By J. L. MANNING
London.
Officially from Australia the other day came an entirely un- solicited but by no means original suggestion that her bowlers after all might be a little unfair. Indeed, the Australian Cricket Board of Control seemed to think it a point in its favour to confide in the public that approval of Austra-, lian bowlers by. English umpires next summer could not be guaran- teed..

Stubborn
How to overcome the un- reasonable stubbornness of these locker-room lawyers is the point of Australia's latest but undisclosed proposals for ¦ next year's tour,
The public's first reaction will be: Hang it all, wasn't this throwing business cleared up at Lord's during the summit when the Imperial Cricket Con- ference unanimously adopted de- Bnitions of unfair bowling? It's a very fair question.

Solution?
so it begins to look as though Australia is now officially offer- ing a solution whlen was un- ciully hinted at two muallas ago.
This is to suspend the ap- defini- plication of the new tion during the tour and de- clare a trucc, under the terms of which umpires should nol call bowlers For throwing. This would call for both teams to bowl at each other in all good faith.

First time in softball history Two Services teams open › Junior Leaque
programme tomorrow
By OLLY VAS
For the first time in the long history of the game two British Services teams will open the softball league programme in the Junior division. At 4:00 pm af King's Park tomorrow the Austers of Shatin will play the Antelopes, an entirely new team making its debut. Preceding this there will be a Little League base- ball match between the Cubs and the Rebels. The young baseballers will once again be seen in action on Sunday morning at 10 am when the Lions come up against the de- fending champions, the Giants.

SO COOL
Said Miss Price: "We know, some people don't approve we hope to convert them. Shoris are so much cooler to play "in." True, shorts are not entirely new to British courses--the Americans always wear them when they come. But not Brilons.
Commented Miss Molly Gourlay, one-tune secretary of the Ladies Golf Union: I think sharts are extremely ugly, And the shorts these girls wore were shorter than American Ber- mudas. A skirt is just as cool ns shorts, not cooler.
