(BY THOMAS MOULT)

For the first time in the history

of cricket, umpires have been grant-

The Advisory County Cricket Committee passed the following resolution, which was later con- firmed by the M.C.C. Committee:

SYDNEY'S JAMBOREE MEETING

(By A. Wallis Myers)

AUSTRALIA has more young players of cham-

Such is the impression I formed after a tour of the Commonwealth courts, recently under- taken on behalf of "The London Daily Tele- graph," having the Centenary tournament at Melbourne as its chief objective.

Australia has provided three champions at Wimbledon and a fine line of doubles exponents, which was originally her chief

Perhaps it la a sense of isola tion that gives the majority of Australians, when' they travel abroad, their dour concentration and unemotional demeanour.

Brooks, Patterson, Crawford- all have sound match tempera- ments, controlling their feelings BB they control their strokes, fighting grimly all the time, especially calm at the crisis. There champions have endowed their successors with the same qualities.
