Now I think all ardent cricketers are intensely jealous of golf for the same reason, namely, that it has attracted many young men who ought to be playing with bat and the hard red leather tall. Another reason for the animosity against golf is the enthusiasm of its dovotees, who are the victims of a terrible ferer, and can see no good in any other outdoor game. When a leading statesman like Mr. A. J. | Balfour declaras that on any platform and on any occasion he is prepared to uphold the rights and claims of golf against cricket, and that on almost all counts, and under almost all heads golf has the advantage for those who actively participate in games surely there is reason for jazdensy among cricketers.
