GETTING BACK THE "ASHES."' Lord Harris is not in the least sur: prised or disturbed by England's recent defonts in Australia. The M.C.C. re- cognised the weakness in bowling. He writes: Of this weakness the commit- teo was fully conscious; and we therefore at once pablished our opinion, when most of the team had been selected, that it was the best we could get together, but not up to pre-war form." But there is no need for despair. We shall by degrees recover, and the "Ashes-the mythical Ashes, not the real ones: they never leave their resting place here will be wafted| back again.

Ah! that, indeed is a nost difficult question, and I have heard it argued from both points of view.
The parist holds that the fact that the question had not been put to the umpire ought not to weigh with the bats man; that when he is obviously out it is not correct to stand and force the ques tion to be put; so, then. if he knows The op- he is out, he ought to go out posite view is evidently held by prac tically every cricketer, for I suppose there are very few cricketers who have seen any ond give up his wicket voluntarily for the above renso0; and I suggest that the best excuse that can be advanced for this practice is that the batsman cannot been infringed by the opposite side
