BRADMAN AND HAMMOND TWO GREATEST BATSMEN OF TO-DAY

DOUR CRICKETER

BUT MEAD AMASSED

HUGE TOTAL IN 30 YEARS

UNPOPULAR WITH CROWD (By * Adrem"). PHILLIP MEAD, one of the few remaining cricketers of the old school, which includes such names as Hobbs, Hearne, Hendren, Woolley and Freeman, will take no further part in first- class cricket.

Mead, considering the number of years he has been playing. has met with comparatively little recognition from the cricket authorities, and it is not until one studies statistics that one) realises, what achievements do lie to the credit of this most un- assuming. personality.

A short while ago, we received news in Hong Kong that the Kent authorities had decided to dispense with the services of A. P. ("Tich") Freeman, but later reports revealed that he had been re-instated for at least another season. Freeman, of course, is an idol of the crowd. His many mannerisms and gestures were their delight. It is likely that this crowd saved Freeman Public outcry probably influenced the Kent authorities to revise their ideas and so the diminutive howler will have a slight respite.

The remarkable thing about Bradman's total is that these big scores are included in his total of 56 centuries.
