RHODES BY BROADCAST.
"SPIN THE BALL" SEORET OF HIS TRIUMPHS.
لب
Wilfrid Rhodes, the famous England and Yorkshire cricketer, gave a broad- cast address on cricket from 2 L O on August 25th.
Spin the ball was the burden of his advice to bowlers, and, alluding to his awn bowling, he said he was going to let his bearers into a little secret, and also make a confession.
"Every time I bowl a bail," he said. I try to impart spin, but I do not always know what the hall is going to do. Usually, of course, I pitch the ball on to the leg stump, and it goes away to the of Sometimes, the ball will de something 1 do not expect, and it is when this happens I very often get a wicket.
"Good length, plain straight bowling, while having its virtue, will not get a good-class bataman out once in a month of Sundays."!
st
Rhodes recalled that he played his first Test match twenty-seven years age Treat Bridge, and he met the famous Dr. W. G..Grace.
Referring to the last test match Rhodes said: "I can honestly say that I was more anxious during this match than in that first game at Trent Bridge twenty. seven years ago. When the game was over I was as happy and-pleased as any schoolboy, for I felt I had not let my. friends down. It was & great day for England.'
Rhodes added that if Jack Hobbs kept his normal health he would be in the next Test eleven.
