London, January 28.

IN the course of his speech at the annual meeting of Yorkshire County Cricket Club, at Leeds yesterday, Lord Hawke referred to the M.C.C. tour in Australia. "We must all congratulate Mr. Allen on his great success as a captain," he said. "Australia all love him. We are very thankful that he has once more brought back the old good fellow- ship and friendliness between the two sides.

shall I "We are proud of our men. They have done well say almost beyond our expectations, for we knew we were up against a very formidable proposition." Saying that the toss will make a difference, Lord Hawke hoped Allen and Bradman will each win it once in the remaining Tests. He continued:

"I am sure it makes our treasurers' mouths water when they read of the gates out there; nearly £30,000 in five days. Of course, all the counties will get some share of the profits, but one's great regret is it will be reduced by 25 per cent. on account of Exchange."
