ARE WICKETS “DOPED"?

SYDNEY CURATOR'S

DENIAL

No Rain And. No Grass!

ין

Mr W. Stewart, Curator "of the Sydney Cricket Ground, was ask- ed for his opinion of the sugges- tion made by a London journal under the heading "Australian Wickets 'Doped' to help slow bowl- ers." Mr. Stewart ridiculed the suggestion that the wicket had been made slower so that it would favour spin bowlers.

"The Sydney wicket was a tride alower than usual because there was no grass on it," he said.

"We had the hoses going for weeks, but found that instead of the grass coming on it went off.

"Practically no rain at all fell during the early stages in the pre- paration of the wickets upon which the Englishmen played in Sydney." During the last visit to Australia of the Englishmen. the same al- legation was made that the Test wickets were "doctored" to alow down the fast English attack.

The Curators in Sydney, Me)- bourne, and Adelaide denied the charge, and Larwood gave the He to it in a more practical manner.

RUGBY FOOTBALL.

CARDIFF WIN

London Welsh Beat Penarth

Cardim beat the Harlequins by a goal, a penalty goal, and two tries (14 · pointa) "to", a goal and two penalty goals (11 points), and on the day's play were the better team. Both forward and outside Cardiff had the better of matters, especially during the first half, when the Harlequins were out- played.--

The principal difference between the teams was the cohesion and thrust of Cardiff in contrast to the Harlequins, who, especially amongst the backs, were ragged and unsafe in their handling. G. J. Dean, and J. D.. Craddock were

not a happy combination at half- back, Dean's passes being uncer- tain, and Craddock could do iltiło right beyond some effective tack- ling.

G. E. C. Hudson was the better

of the centres, and A. G. Butler of the wings.. Butler, however, was starved, and his services to his side were most marked in the holding up of his opposite number, A. Bassett, who was always a dan- gerous wing three-quarter.

Referee Missing

A. E. Jones and W. G. Morgan combined well for Cardin and wero well supported by a good three- quarter line, behind whom was T. Stone, a most emclent and re- "sourceful full-back, who kicked,

felded, and tackled admirably.

The Cardiff forwards were par

the loose Harlequins, however, especially towards the close, held them in the set scrummages, G. G. Gregory doing some excellent booking.

For Big Fight

(Continued from Page 10).

The ruling is another instance of the way boxing control bodies the world over are doing their best to destroy the tradition that when a heavy-weight champion fights he is defending his title.

It is the height of absurdity that a world champion should have the power to say that one contest is most for a championship and another Then is not.

"

There is a similar case in point in England, for according to the British Board of Control, Ben Foord, the British heavy-weight champion; will not be boxing for his title when he faces Jack Peter- sen at Harringay on February 1.

Against Opinion

The start was delayed owing to the absence of the scheduled re- feree, the services of Squadron Leader T. J. Jones being called up- on at the last minute.
