Classic on the Game.
A STRATEGIC RETREAT.
[By Edward Shanks] Mr. Naville Cardus Is incompar- ably the finest writer on modern cricket that we possess. For years his reminiscences of the past and his comments on the present have. delighted us in the Manchester Guardian and elsewhere. Of late, it has seemed to some of us that he was beginning to repeat himself a little. It is the fate of the journ- alist who writes for ever on one topic and. if he has not forgotten Himself what he said two years ago, knows that most of his readers are likely to have forgotten it. But
Mr. Cardus's talent and his gospel of the beauty of cricket were alike worthy of something better than the writing of daily or weekly arti cles and the collection of the best of them periodically into books. That something better has been found for him by the editors of the "English Heritage" series in which his volume entitled, quite simply, "Cricket" now appears (Longmans, 3s. Gd.)..
A Lifelong Attitude.
It is a short book but It is a full book. There are in it, to be sure. one or two self-repetitions, but no more than was necessary if Mr. Cardus was to give us the best he has to say on his. subject. For what he does give us is a summing- up of a lifelong attitude towards the game, and the result is a little classic of the future. His attitude is quite easily defined. He be- lieves that cricket is one of the fine arts and that through it a great personality can express itself just as in music or in painting, and he continually drives home his point by using metaphors from the other arts to describe the impressions nade on him by great cricketers.
This first and overruling purpose gives his book'a peculiar unity and closeness of texture. Cricket is n large subject to get into a volume of 170 odd pages. But one does feel at the end of it that Mr. Car- dus has covered all the spiri- tual side of the ground without neglecting the material side. He is good on the development of the .Aug. 15, Noon, lawa, particularly good in describ
p.m.ng and contrasting the different;
styles of the great masters. But, above all, it is the expression of personality, whether with. bat or with ball. that captivates him and with which he captivates his read- er. He even devotes a little ap- proving space to exhibitions of temper on the cricket field, things which
the
more
conventional- minded condemn.

"Temper, Temper,"
In one instance he describes how, In a Lancashire and Yorkshire match, after a dull afternoon on a wicket that nearly broke the bavl era hearts a batsman blocked a ball and pretended to run, where- Upon Macaulay flew down the pitch, picked up the ball, and, savagely threw it at the stamps:
Here
At the sight of Macaulay's pas- sionate act somebody sitting near me in the pavilion said, de precatingly:
"Ah, Macaulay: temper, temper. Play the game." A lukewarm view, this! was a cricketer, dead tired from long and fruitless endeavour under a hot sun. Yet though the afternoon was nearly sent, the occasion waiting dully for the end, he could contriva still to work himself into not only inter- est but rage at the sight of a liberty taken by an ancient enemy. Temper, maybe, but passionate nature.
A very just view-though, I con- Tese, one that I might not have taken myself without Mr. Cardua's guidance.
prising that these names should conjure up memories in the mind of a man who has seen the two teams play on two Bank Holidays in the year ever since some time in the Golden Age, and it is pleasing

A man entered a crowded railway carriage, and placed a heavy box almost a small trunk, on the rack. A nervous passenger eyed the large package for several seconds, and, feeling that it might fall on him at any moment he ventured to remark: "I say, do you think that's safe?"
"Oh, yes," said the man cheer-

A quarter of an bour from time waiting at the crcase for a few moments (pre. sumably not without hope that some mistake had been made) ke proceeded to leave, the wicket.
