HAMMOND OR BRADMAN: WHICH IS

THE GREATER CRICKETER?

MR. NEVILLE CARDUS ON THE RECENT

TEST MATCHES

For EL delightful half-hour- "about the length of time that represents, 16 runs in English cric- ket"-Mr. Neville Cardus talked to the Manchester Luncheon Club about the recent Test matches in Australia states the "Manchester Guardian." He praised without reserve the friendliness and hospi tality of the Australian people. "I sometimes felt," he said, "that we have only a rudimentary notion of what hospitality means here." With equal warmthy he ac- knowledged Australian sportsman- ship. "Larwood is one of the most popular cricketers who went over there," he declared. "If they did not like the way he bowled they regarded him as a man who did a job according to orders, and they have not the least animus ngalast him. "

His explanation of why we lost. the "Ashes" was strapie-Bradman, "I Bradman had not been there we should have won," he affirmed. How it was that Australia, with a relatively small population, pro- duced such fine cricketers was another point to which he devoted some time. The answer was sim- ple-They get them young."."

"They get them in much the same way as the Viennese produce fiddlers and horn players who can' play in tune"-(laughter),~said Mr. Cardus.
