London.

The decision of Jack Sharp, captain of the Lancashire Cricket Club, not to play at Old Trafford. for the remaining two matches of the season, has met a mixer re- ception. Newspapers all hope that he will reconsider it.

The "Morning · Post" "Daily Telegraph" point mut that he would not have come to the decision without good grounds, and that probably his action will result in onlooker' better behaviour in the future.

and

The "Daily Express" suys that it cannot congratulate Sharp on hia decision, and it only encour- ages the barracker, who is not confined to the cricket world, but is invading theatres and even Parliament, where he gives the front-benchers a bad time.

"The barracker,"

says the newspaper, "thrives од his victim's discomfiture. The only way to exterminate him is to ignore him."

The "Westminster

Gazette"

hopes that Sharp's action wil help to remove the most unplea- sunt feature of latter-day cricket. "Barracking," it declares, "is fast becoming a nuisance."

"Sporting Life" says: "Aus tralians must book to their laurels."

Later it was stated that pres-

sure was being brought to bear on Jack Sharp, to reconsider his decision, because the crowd,

n-

known as "the wolves of the cricket field," barracked' sportingly, when Sharp dropped a catch against Middlesex.
