Since the latter part of 1037, Mr.. Shaw has held the Editorship of The Hongkong Telegraph.
In a book freely illustrated wel learn that Don, whose father was u sisters and a carpenter, has three brother who, unlike himself, were very tall-in stature. By way of retort (writes Frank Thorogood) Bridman has cultivated the art of tall scores, and in a pleasantly told story he relates many interesting incidents of a wonderful cricketing
career.
Allusions to contemporary players loom large in the narrative. Walter Hammond, the majestic, is described as the finest all-round player in the game, and Constantine is placed second. Percy Chapman is rated, as the finest fielder, close to the wicket, whom he has ever seen.
There is a carefully-worded re- ference to the now historic body-line) incidents of 1932-3, and Bradman's view can be crystalised by quoting Vils Anal sentence: "Those who are in charge of the welfare of cricket must preserve its traditional beauty by confining the rivalry to bat and ball."
Alluding to the Ashes, Bradman lopes that some day a replica of the famous Urn will be modelied in gold and presented to the winning cricket side to place before the
