GILLIGAN'S APPRECIATION OF HOSPITALITY.

The M.C.C. team'left Bombay for India on the Kanpura on March 19th.

Bidding farewell to India after strenuous tour of nearly six months, Mr. A. E. R. Gilligan, on behalf of the M.C.C. team, express ed the deep gratefulness of the members of the team for the great reception which the country had ac

carded them.

They had and a very fine time, he added, and they were thankful to their friends in India and Ceylon, to H. E, tho Viceroy and to the respectivo Governors of the Provinces for the kind way in which they had treated the tourists.

Unbeaten Record.. Speaking of the tour Mr. Gili- gan said " Our tour has been a great success and wo are returai home with our unbeaten record which is a great distinction and an achievement in so long a tour as we have had We hope the lessons of our tour will prove of the very greatest value to cricket in India.

Particularly, I wish and I hope fielding a whole will improve. It has been thoroughly disappoint- ing really thought that Indian teams would have fielded better than they did. We have met some very good bowling and batting but bad Setting."

Asked if they were likely to pay another visit in the near future, Mr. Gelligan said it rested with the M.C.C. to decide, but he expected that in another five or six years they might come to India again He expressed his strong desire that central cricket board should be formed in India shortly. That was the wish of everyone connected with cricket in Eagland,

BRITAIN'S BEST BOXERS.

BALDOCK, MILLIGAN, AND HILL

POTENTIAL WORLD'S

CHAMPIONS.

(BY TREVOR C. WIGNALL.]

Having lost the habit of patting themselves on the back, British followers of boxing are apparently not yet fully conscious of the fact that there are three 'young, fightere in the country who are well on the

to the winning of world's championships. Two are Scotu- Tommy Milligan" and Johnny Hil

and the other the copper-headed, blue-eyed, and cherub-faced youth from Paplar, Teddy Baldock.

Of the three I think that Baldock is the most remarkable. Son and grandson of ex-fighters, he already has a record that stamps him nå one of the outstanding pugilists of his tirar.

fle will not be 21 until next year and yet he has adored more than 130 victories, and has probably had ia all over 200 contesta On his

form at the Albert Hall, when be kuccked-out Young Johnny Brown in three rounds, I consider him to be the best bantam-weight in the

Baldock stands absolutely alone in Europe, because he is such a perfect blend of the fighter and boxer,

Eill's Bext test will be against Eric Jarvis, and if he comes through this with success it will be high time for La Barba and "Elky Clark and "Newsboy"" „Brown (who is said by Americans to be even better thas La Barby) to set their bouses in order.

On his recent form it is easy to visualise Hill-if he is fortunate enough to escape accident and a breakdown in health-as a coming World's champion.

Milligan at the moment is good enough to beat any man of any poundage in Great Britain, if not 10 Europe, and I will be surprised
