SPORT AND ANECDOTE

By as Oin FoGRY.

MASTERS OF TRE, BITUATION, In vestaring recently to touch upon the subject of slow oricket in county matches I sadeurenrad to sbow very briefly to what

erge osteut the crowd controls the destinies of the game. Returning to the tapie let us dis Casa it a little moro etosoly. That therd is n Food deal of truth in the contention of Mr. J. A Dizon, the socomplished captain of the Notte elaran, will not be nerionaly disputed. When ho aaye that the taetion of the present day bowler ana mul responsible for slow cricket as the tactics of the batsmen, be, o doubt, bes in mind the rapidly growing school of "theory" bowlers, the men who pitch down bell after ball wide of the oft stimp, know- ing at the time that it would be the vertest Auke were thy to hit the stumps. Some tow of our first-less bowlors practise this to a large nxtout When these theory" young goutlo mon happen in be faced by theory" batsmen the result is generally a wearizeme succession of maiden overs. Then again what with the clneoly alvan. pitelica of to-day, cambiead with the af most marvellous accuracy of the man in the field, the batsman who takes nu risks may keep ap bis ead the live long day without giving birth to a single túrill of excitement to the patient crowd. Personally I cau enjoy stuart, clean, riep fielding sa mach as unyone. Your tend oricketer esa note the deliveries of alow bowlers like young Mr. Bull or Johnny Briggs with gumine admiration: intred, it is real fan some times to a theru "tuck up" one of your carg- ful metbolical nyags grubbers, bat it may be safely avorted that the crowd in bulk love to nes sprightly batting, and if they cannot get this they will stay away from our County grond Here it is then where the crowd comes in, and go treasurer would be foolish enough to pretend to be inlopendent of the ebillings and sixpences -handed in at the turnstilen by the many-headed.

“AVRKAÓE GRUBBING,”

This is not an elegant phrase by any menos, it la zot miun, but it does describo abant as accurately as anything I know one of the besetting sins of madora cricket. It is not so many yaara nyo since valuable money prizos ware offered by the proprietors of an antorjici. ing weekly journal for the best batting and the best bowling average wɛdn up to the ent nf each of the aricketing months. Upon the face of it. this seems in nocect enough, but it did not take followers of the game very long to discover that the interests of more than one county wore being exoribed in the rash for the prizes. Professional cricketersen rahi have their share of shrewdness, and T-believe-I am astreet in aying that when it was found out that 1b sub- stantial money peins were being "pooled by asak et coterie aforacks, it może (bu katisfaite, prize donors. As I write I have in my mind aaer. traordinary run of not ont "iusing playad last umer by a well-known professional. Fura time his holding was the one topic of conversation

at aricienters, but there was more than suspicion that some of his displays were selfish in ibe extremo, and I live here! it said that some of the tombers of the same aleren GOLA- plained bitterly of the way in which the sile interests were put the background for the

sake of tha table of averagea. This sort of thing, if carried on to a large extent, null pretty soon andermine the popularity of cricket If our reformers wish to do the gemo a real service they will commence by tabooing play which makes for the aggrandisuniont or panders to the vanity of the infridral at the expans of a sida. As to whether the time has arrived for considering the disability of widening the wicket or increasing the height of the stumps, I noarsely cars to offer any decisive opinion. Our sumwers are not as settled us thess of other climes, and what would happen should we be visited by a wet season and thres dsye' fixtures were finished in a single day it is almost too dreadful to contemplate.

"KUN IT OUT."

In the far-off days of my youth this used to be one of the chseriest cries one could possibly hear on a cricket field after a slashing stroke by the big hitter of the side. Nowadays, bow- over, it is a cry seldom heard except in remote country districts where the thin white line. denoting à boundary is still unknown. When Mr. Dixon ventures to complain of the easy itoundaries of to-day one's first thoughts cannot he other dan sympathetic. We should, I agine, hour very little about batsmen hitting up 80 runs in a hour with his partner at the other crease.tving much the same if all the Moura bed to be run out. In the simple reasod that the men of exceptional physique duly wond be equal to the strain. Eat when we come to Book for a remedy the question bistins with difficulties. One thing is certain, we ́indst have boundary lives, sad so long as these exist we mast not expert our hatsmen to noduly exert themselves by useless runding across the wicket. The majority of our forancst be tamen are able

It has always exomad to me that bis Eilters like Thornton, Booner. Ulyett and Jason had little Tregard for the position of the Refs nou whre- -they commenced emiticy. To auch so these the Houndary line had little significance. It is when we come to the pardy scisstile player whe breut every delivery on its tuerits and place the ball with the nicest accuracy that the full force of the "easy four" is noticeable. Tf all erioket were village cricket we should now be can. fronted with such problems, but courty secrat. acisa and county treasurers bare to provide the wherawithal to keep the game going, al if they fail to win support from the public their tot is
