CAPITAL CRICKET.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 23ED, 1913.
OUR NATIONAL GAME COMING BACK INTO ITS OWN.
[BY HIS HOME GORDON, BART, IN THE "DAILY EXPRESS."]
It is high time that attention should be emphatically drawn to the splendid in- provement in first-class cricket this season, Before wickets were pitched in May we were inundated with jeremiasal diatribes agating: contemporary conditions for our sampe mutinal gane, and we were tald the glory Herrenf 'lad departed. I was onc of the few wh. ventured to express an optimistic view, and to-day it is generally ermitted that there is a capital revival. } But remarkable and rare features in connection will welcome improvement bave not so far been set forth.
A erisia was threatened by the action of the eleven counties in their effort to reduce the number of competitors in the chama- pionship, and a measure of dissatisfaction was felt at the proposed relegation of Northamptonshire, who had so recently pushed their way up to the second posi- tion.
The tact of Lord Harris satisfactorily settled the atlair by the happy suggestion of postponing consideration of alteration util the close of 1916. At the same time it must be pointed out that the inexorable burden of finance nicy automatically eliminate several of the present first-class counties.
Worcestershire are reported to be in retremis. Somersetshire are unfavourably situated, and, without the golden control of. Mr. C. E.. Green, Essex may have a hard struggle. We should watch the with- drawal of any of these with sincere regret, tempered with confidence that their dis- appearance would only be temporary.
Once we come to the actual cricket played this summer. the most casual anectatur cannot fail to be impressed with the increased alertness and attractiveness betrayed all round.

that professionals necessarily display a startling contradiction of the old axiom more stereotyped and less dashing game than amateurs,
The professionals of to-day are playing ericket as if they loved it as I believo they do and the more honour to them. A man who enjoys his occupation derives greater benefit from it.
The next delightful feature is the l prowess of vouth. Cricket depends on new blund, and if there is no Richardson or Loutewood now debutising. nevertheless the standard is high among the young sters. By the irritation of the Editor of the Express. I am later to deal with the University cricketers, and therefore now eliminate them, though it must be observed that von Meile is a bowler whose remarkable swerve on the day that ho can got it swerve bowlers cannot always awerve, will spectators take notet for many seem to expect it constantly-may go through any side. Tyler's pupil, J. C, White, is an excellent slow left-handed howler; and G. M. Louden won much approval from those in the pavilion at Lord's. That mighty slog from G. Reay: makes it a matter of general regret he cannot be again released from his offica stool this summer. It is long since a finer forcing but than Fender has matured (ho is a better bowler than his captain thinks), and there are tremendous possibilities about H. L Wilson. Of A. Jaques with the ball I hear good reports, and N. Haig, who is a nephew of Lord Harris, can also bowl, though P. F. Warner for- gets it, and he is a delightful run-getter, as well as excellent in the field.
