This is a of the times I am told that at Lord's a young cricketer is so taught that the result is that he does not seem able to lift or swing his bat at practice, and that actually mechanical means are em- ployed which seem in effect to prevent therefore, that Bis doing so. I groundits, all the pro- in the opinion

What is the result of the teaching of i this school. In many first-class matches you may notice that there is no outfield for hours at a time. Hence the bowler is presented with an extra man to stop such shots as the batsman possesses. is a sad sight, This type of batting now the rage, and yet it never has and never will win matches, particularly on bad wickets. Whether Heaven helps the Australian bowlers or not they will help themselves, and a batsman who goes with the object, apparently, of playing for a draw is singularly easy to bowl at It is the batsman who has shots all round the wicket whom the bowler dislikes. He kaows such a dne must be got rid of within the hour. It doesn't much matter whether some of the batamen at present in favour bat one hour or three or four. As far as I have seen it, the idea now in England is that one can only make runs safely on the leg side. This is all very well for poor players Why don't the Australian batsman do it

ROOT'S SECRET.

As regards this I would like to quote a bowler from my own county, liuot He has twice played in Louder. Un cach occasion the authorities have run aim down and practically said he was a rot-

He supplies the bawlers counter to the present day sys ten of batting. The batsmen say, will stay here as long as I can and I will score all my runs on the leg side." Root's answer is. Very well, I place my fieldsmen on the leg side and oblige you. Now help yourself!" What is the result The modern batsman is helpless. He has no other shot to make. It is often curious to watch such men strug gling with Root; and I have grinned hearing such "This sort of bowling spoils

Another sign of the times is the great outery against the number of first-class matches and the statement often repeat el that bowlers are exhausted. Not long ago 1 read an article where a cricket writer stated the number of fast bowlers Bad decreased because there were too many matches and that fast bowling was not worth while nowadays He carefully gave lists of fast bowlers in past times in comparsion with the present day and then

equally carefully omitted two-thirds

of the fast bowlers now playing cricket, It looked convincing. However, the real reason seems to be that nowadays our cricketers have forgotten how to "bowl fast. It seems to be accepted that a long exhausting run is necessary. It defpite ly is not It in the proper use of the

makes a fast bowler, and a long run is not & help, but a hindrance. batting seems to be held the sole interest- ing and necessary part of cricket, and bowling is neither considered nor taught. At any rate, I have never since the war met a boy who had ever been taught how to spin the ball, and I understand that in DO public school is any trouble taken to teach bowling. After all, bowling is far more difficult than hatting, and good bowling and fielding win far more matches than mere batting docs. I have watched the papers during this whole season for any reference to the three really good bowlers here in the West

JUDGES AND HEARDS,

For the first time in living memory there is not a single beard on the bench of the High Court of England. A beard does not go well with a wig, nor do sido whiskers go much better. Vice-Chan cellor Bacon while

sporting side whiskers, considered the beard ZI outrage. This was unforunato for one of the leaders attached to his Court, Senior Wrangler and a very abis lawyer who had a very bushy heard, and, to make matters worse for Bacon's hear- ing was not as good as his sight-a some what gruff voice.
