off the field.
A vote of no confidence in the Notts Cricket Club Committee was carried by a large majority at a special meeting of 2000 members following Notts' apology to Austra lla in connection with the bowling of Voce.
On behalf of the committee it was explained that two charges of unfair bowling made by the Aus- trallans and Middlesex were proved while a third by Lancashire was unproved.
In view of the concurrence of the umpires and the M.C.C. that the bowling was a direct attack on a batsman, the Notts Club could only apologise and it was decided that the Club must not again be placed in such a humillating position,
As Carr had stated he would allow bowlers to bowl as they were justified in appointing a new captain
Voce and Larwood have signed to play for another three years and the hope was expressed that Voce might play for the county for many years and the incident would soon be forgotten.

Despite all the evasions and denials, the Notts County Cricket

And thereby hang many tales. tales that have been whispered, but never told before.

But I believed that Voce was perfectly able to play and to bowl During the morning his wife arrived at the ground, and sald to one of the gatemen, "Has Bill taken, any wicket's yet?"
"He is not playing; his shins are sore," was the reply she got.
It was roundly denied that the Australians had made any objec- tion to Voce's bowling, but, of course, they had, as it turns out.
I was told afterwards that one Of them had different views. |-Stanley McCabe was quoted as say

In Committee About a fortnight after the ex- traordinary climb-down I went to a meeting of the Notts committee, I said in committee: "Why was Voce withdrawn from the match against the Australians Did the Australians complain?"
Dr. Gauld replied: "Yes, they did."
A brief discussion followed about the, excuse which had been given for Voce's being left out. I sug- gested that Voce was perfectly well able to play and ought not to have been dropped.
The chairman at once said to the: "You must withdraw that remark or else leave the meeting." "I withdraw nothing" I replied I went out of the room and ten- dered my resignation from the committee:

Local sports circles were heartened to-day following the re- ceipt of a cablegram from Baron Japanese Michimasa Boyeshima,

Baron Boyeshima left Tokyo in mid-December for Oslo where he is scheduled to present Japan's bid for the distinction of holding the games to the Olymplad Committee Italy will also meeting there. make a formal bid,
Before going to Oslo, Baron Soyeshima planned to visit Rome to confer with Ambassador Yotaro Sugimura, who is an advisor to the Japan Athletic Federation. He also indicated before his departure that he might call on Mussolini to discuss the issue.
Japan's anxiety, to hold the games here in 1940 is heightened by the fact that the official 2400th anniversary of the Empire fälls that year.
Unhappy Experiences Of Last Year
London, Jan. 12.
The body-line controversy with Australia; disputes in the Ame rica's Cup races and very rough play in the England-Italy soccer sensations of match-the-sport 1934-raise the question whether these International engagements, one of the chief purposes of which is to promote better feeling between nations, are not having just the opposite efect.

COMING AUSTRALIA CRICKETER
(Special Air Mail Service)
London, Jan. 12. Though the cricket season is young in Australia, it is already clear that the English side of 1936 wil face mny new personalities.
One of them is likely to be C. L. Badcock, the 20-year-old Tasman- dan who has settled in South Australia,
As a boy of 18, he scored heavily against the last English Eleven. Since moving to Adelaide, he has made top score in the match bẹ- tween' Woodfull's team and the Rest, and hit up a hundred in the present game against Queensland.

In this way the little State lost MacDonald. He began his circke- ting career as a "slogger" in Laun- ceston, and developed into one of the greatest fast bowlers, with one of the most classic actions, that the game has ever known.
