"LITTLE PEANUTS”
"Little Peanuts"-that was the nickname by which George Mur- phy was known to his friends and acquaintances before he became famous as an actor.
Murphy, who plays the part of a crime reporter in Paramount's new' drama "WOMAN TRAP," has now lived down that term of endearment; and is now plain George to his numerous admirers.
George, who has many rela- tions in both Belfast and Dublin, says that he did not do anything deserve such an appellation. Like Topsy of "Uncle Tom's Ca- bin." It just growed.

After he graduated from college, he planned to become a mine superintendent. Several years of first-hand experience was neces- sary, so he found himself a job ini a coal mine at Portage, Pennsylvania.
His brother also worked in the same mines and was known to his intimates a "Big Peanuts," so George simply became "Little Pea- nuts."

WISDEN, 1936
Bat v. Ball Controversy
London, March 25, The Cricket Reporting Agency.. which is Wisden's workshop, is a repos.tory of more than facts and igures. Fortunate as it has been in a truly remarkable suc- cession of editors, it has year after year, enlightened and guided suc- cessive generations with a review of contemporary cricket, its form, politics, and personalities. which saccepted as authoritative and automatically constitutes the off- ciál history of the period. These reviews are authoritative because the editors have all requis:te material at their disposal and a long and intimate experience of the game.
A
Mr. Brookes, who has succeeded to the editorship, may not be familiar to the cricket world; but. after reading his Editorial Notes. no one will be disposed to ques tion his qualifications for the post or to mark the curious facility with which he has sustained even the quietly authoritative style that has for years marked that feature of the book. Supported by statistical proof of Its effec- tiveness in helping to secure definite result and in doing some- thing to level up the balance be- tween bat and ball, as well as by the favourable verdict of a large majority of leading cricketers and umpires, he is strongly of the view that the Australians" would be acting against die best interestä of the game if they refused to adopt the reform for our next winter's visit. In envisaging that tour, he finds it, hard to be optimistic, re- cognising as he does the lack of class bowling in England and the even more conspicuous absence of those great personalities which the game never failed to produce untti after the war, and which acted as an inspiration on the field and a magnet to the "gate." He might well have remarked also on the part played by spinbowling in many of our recent reverses, and argued from it to the deplorable reluctance of most English bats- men to use their feet in attack as opposed to defence,
A MODEL FOR SCHOOLBOYS . For this reason it is refreshing to and included in this year's por- traft gallery two batsmen of such pronounced driving powers as Wel- lard and E. R. T. Holmes. D. Smith, good batsman though he is, would not have found a place in more prosperous time, but none will cavil at the tile of the. South Africans, Mitchell and Cameron As a model for schoolboys to imitate, Mitchell. at his best, is as good as any lving player; the unobtrusiveness of Cameron's wicket-keeping was such as almost to conceal its greatness, but as a batsman and a personality he took the eye in a flash and warmed the heart. A mechanised age does well to mourn the passing of this gallant Elizabethau,
Writing on the vexed question of the preparation of wickets, Mr. Brooks makes two interesting points: with the finance of many county clubs so precarious, their committees cannot afford to en-
