MANY NEW CAPTAINS IN COUNTY CRICKET
MORE DIFFICULT FOR
AMATEURS TO FIND TIME FOR THE GAME
London, April 4.
Once upon a time, when he was captain of Sussex, Ranji got "mad" about the slack way in which his team were fielding.
"The next man who drops a catch will be left out of the side.. I don't care who he is," he said.
They went out to field and he und
C. B. Fry dropped catches.
Coming in, old Fred Tate, father Badminton
of Maurice, slyly remarked: "Shan't

As it becomes more and more difficult for amateurs to find the for county cricket, so it becomes more dimcult to find county captains. There will be five or six new skippers this season.
Walter Hammond takes charge of Gloucestershire in place of B. 0. Allen, Hammond, now he has had the experience of a South African tour, is going to rank among the finest of English captains of the past twenty years, Actually, I would say Douglas Jardine has been number one, but Hammond may catch and past him.

France and Chino meet a week later in

With some confidence, then, an Anglo-French match can be visualis ed in England at the end of May. It is likely to be played
