THE AMATEUR IN FIRST-CLASS CRICKET.
Br PP. KNOX.
Of late years so much has been written about cricket both in the shape of articles in news papers and also in complete volumes that it is impossible not to feel a certain amount of diff dence in approaching the subject at the begin
ing of a fresh season, especially in the writing in, in most cases, of snob good quality. But I venture to believe that sportsmen are always glad to read fresh matter dealing with their favourite sport; even if it is only to get some new iden, or to neo some oft-discured point treated of in a diferent manner. At any rate, these wore my feelings when I was asked to write something on the shore subject. It is curious to notice how from time to time crops up what is known as the "paid amateur ques tion." It is frequently started by some short paragraph in the newspapers to the effect that it is stated that Mr. So-and-so has been sp peluted assistant secretary to sucks and such # colely at so much & year.

He practices hard every day with the professionals to bowl to him ; he himself bowling as little as possible as he al- ways bets at the net first and feels tired and too hot to bowl afterwards.

All orisket coaches should give bowling their chief attention, not to the exemsion of batting, „but stany zale give it Iti duo-s fair half and half division; though every cricketer must realise that bowling wants just twice the amount of hard practice. You will find a man who has not played cricket for a couple of months will play a good innings, but you won't find him bowling well-the fact is, it's just impossible.

BOWLING PRACTICE. -Now let us turn to a professional éricketer'd creer, and we shall find a very different tale. The chief duty of every professional, no matter what else he may have to do, is to bowl to the olab members whenever they choons to avail themselves of practice. The result is they are always bowling, not willingly perhaps, but still they are bowling. Moreover, though club mem- bera do not ask for spirited trinky bowling, they will have it of a good length or naturally they complain to the club secretary, or to him whose duty it is to look after such matters. Hence comes fa result that these professionals are al- ways bowling a pretty good length, til at last it.NFORMATION has been received from the MILITARY AUTHORITIES, that GUN this good length is the secret of all good bowling.
