YOUNGER PLAYERS FOR "TESTS."
LORD HAWKE ON -&-DAY CRICKET MATCHES.
AUSTRALIANS CRITICISED..
Lord Hawke, president of the Yorkshire County Cricket Club, in his speech at the annual meeting at Leeds made many pointed and in- teresting criticisms regarding Test matches.
He said that the extension of time for the Test games appeared to be inevitable, but thought that the strangest ground of objection for any longer extension of days for Tests in this country was the gen- eral effect of the games.
No doubt six-days cricket may be suitable in Australia, because of the climatic conditions and the comparatively small number of But there is no comparison of conditions prevailing here with those existing án Australia.
IRON BUX-MORRIS MATCH first-class matches," he said.
OFF.
Stoker Norman Morris is still willing to box Iron Bax for the middleweight championship of "the Celony and a side-stake of 8500, but he is prevented from accepting Bux's challenge.
Morris, however, is willing to meet any welterweight or middle- weight in Hong Kong, with a side stake if necessary, under the aus pices of the Hong Kong Boxing Association.
Bux did well locally as bantam and feather-weight before going to Manila where increasing weight has put him in the heavier classes.
Morris won the middleweight championship of the Colony and Mr. R. M. Dyer's belt at the laxf tournament by knocking out his shipmate, Able Seaman Ewin.
A TEN-ROUND CONTEST.
[DEUTER'S AMERICAN SERVICE]
Bosrox, February 15th. In a ten-round contest; Johnny Vacca out-pointed Fidel in Barba There was no title involved.
La Barba received a left hook to the jaw in the first round to be knocked off his feet for the first time in his career. He arose and had hardly staggered to his feet after a count of nine, when a right smash floored him for a count of five. He had just recovered his balance when a left hook, returned him to the canvas for another nine. There was the wildes excitement, and only ring-craft saved him time and | again as Vacca rocked him, with
terrifle punches.
[It will be remembered that Fidel la Barba recently defeated Elky Clark, the European title holder, in a ten-round cpatest for the Fly- weight Championship of the world]

To tell you the truth," replied Mr. Bingley, I don't know if we have anything to do with the legitimacy of children.'

"Those who would subordinate all matches to the Tests had already 8900 so far as to endanger the turn-
of Test cricket into a fetish?? Referring to England's part, in future tests, Lord Hawke said we had seriously to ask ourselves; "Was it well that the veterans of the game should have been the chief factors in our victory? It was up to England to give encouragement on the fortherning trial matches to the younger players."

The Smaller Ball
The general desire for a smaller ball he thought was sound in every respect. It would enable & bowler to get a better grip and impart more finger-strength. He would go little further and allow a new ball to be used after each 100 runs.
Another important matter, said Lord Hawke, was the undue pre- paration of wickets. Ho favoured the natural grass wicket, but it was a difficult problem which could only be met, in his opinion, by instruc tion by the counties in the use of
marl.
Lord Hawke made a strong criticism of the proposed engage- ment of W. H. Ponsford by the Blackpool club, and said: It is
& great pity that monetary consi- derations should be brought for- ward to take away from his country and from international cricket, for that is what it means, a player who has toured in this country.
My sympathics are entirely. with Australia, who are apparent ly trying to raise a large sum of money to keep this man at home."
