NOVELISTS DEVELOPING
AN INFERIORITY COMPLEX
Mr. Alec Waugh's Warning
A warning to novelists to be ware of an inferiority complex which 'might make their books un readable in a few years' time was given by Mr. Alec Waugh recently at the Sunday Times" Book Ex- hibition in Dorland Hall, Lower Regent-street, states the "Dally Telegraph."
Scores of people, unable to get. into the lecture hall, heard the talk through loud-speakers.
Mr. Waugh pointed out that the story-teller of Homer's day" and the troubadours, were in direct touch with their audience. "But the modern novelist is not in touch with his public at all, and ha no means of judging the pre- clse effect of his story. It is like talking through a microphone to an unseen 'audience.
This seems to be anecting the whole scope and tendency of the modern novel.. Unable to judge whether or not he has solved the problem he has set himself. the novellat Is "forced to rely very much, too much, on Press critic 19m.

The modern novelist is met al the time by theories about writing, and for this reason he has begun to take himself elthen over-seriously or over-modestly and so to develop a kind of in- feriority complex. He has
heen told that the novel is an art form and that just to tell a story is not enough.
"I believe that any book wholly concerned with a sociological or political problem, though it may fula an important function at the time of its publication, will lose its interest when the citadel that is being stormed has been won. The same thing will happen books that depend for their success on a technical trick."

Mr. Ralph Straus, who presided, advised prospective novelists to Imitate Mr. Waugh by breaking away from the accustomed back- ground of their lives. Many Arst books were autobiographical, and their writers, faded out because they could not find a background for their powers.

lead of four points, winning every match after luncheon, and the next day each side won four mist- ches, states "The Timen."
The weather was merciful at the Old Deer Park. Everywhere else rain fell spasmodically in tor- rents, but here the sun shone, and the course, despite an overnight
soaking, was admirable, and from the back tees
distinctly long. There was only one thing left to wish for namely, that J. H. Tay lor could have made his annual appearance for the club, but he was teasing on the ocean on his way to South Africa.
The first round of foursomes ended all even, and when the So- eiety is not down at luncheon after a first round its members think it has done well. Three out of the four matches ended rather too far from home.

A CLOSE CONTEST
The top match, on the hand, produced a capital struggle in which Crawley and Jacob just, and only just, beat H. E. Taylor and Mays-Smith. The Society pair early developed a habit of holing putts, which, if not positive- ly long, were anything but short, and so became two up after 10 holes. At the 11th Mays-Smith holed a fine putt for a 2 and after that every hole was halved to the end, though by no means without incident. At the 12th after Jacob had completely missed his drive Crawley went for an incredible Carry over the water-jump and brought it on by inches-a folly perhaps but a splendid one. At every hole somebody had a putt for the hole, but the ball never quite dropped. The Society pair ought to have won the 17th, where Crawley's putter, though it does weigh 25 ounces, failed to hit the ball much more than halfway to the hole; but Jacob made no mis take at the laat, where he laid a long putt from off the edge stone dead.
In the invitation to
Larwood
Prince Victor of Cooch Behar, the Board's representative in England, emphasised that the object of the invitation was a determined po- licy to improve the standard of
cricket-in India hamshire club officials immediate- The Notting-
ly gave their consent. They took the view that it would be a good thing for Notts and for cricket generally.
MODEL FAST BOWLER
Prince Victor has stated that the Board of Control will welcome Larwood 'more than any
other cricketer. They bold him up as the model fast bowler. They are anxious to develop until they can meet all rivals on an equal foot- ing. Only by getting the best avaliable players from England to coach Indian players can they hope to succeed.
As regards his future, Larwood said: "A great deal will depend on what happens in India." His contract with Notts has another year to run. He added: "After that I am going to India again.".
A clause is to be inserted in the service agreement safeguarding Larwood against illness due to climatic conditions.
