BODY-LINE BOWLING

PROBLEM

Solved by Natives

of Lijou

Sydney, N.S.W.

In the island of Lijou, near Noumea, they have solved the body- line problém.

--

Some years ago. the natives wore taught cricket by an English- man, and it is now their chief sport.

Fast bowling among them IR really throwing, and is very fast. But if a batamau is hit on the body he is entitled to give the bowler a thrashing. If he cannot do it, the whole team is prepared to carry out the punishment.

Any ball that, hits the batsman on the thigh above the height of the stumps Is a no-ball. There can be no doubt in the matter, for the dark skin remains white for a minute after it is hit.

On one occasion, a cricket match at Lifou, the barracking would have astonished Larwood. It was provided by an organised choir that was highly vecal and emphatic. A batsman was hit on the ribs by a fast bowler, and he fell like a stone, Long and deep were the groans of the barrackers. He was up in a minute. ran after the bowler, caught him, and gave him An unmerciful thrashing. Need- less to say, the man did not play again that day-Reuter,

The climax came in the local couri when a revolver shot rip- ned through counsel's questions and the chief witness, on: Mak- sut Ibraimovitch, fell dying to the floor.

The murderer, who was a neigh- bour of the fatally wounded wit-1 ness, had seized his opportunity of settling blood feud in public.

He was at once arrested and put in a cell.

There he offered a reward of £5 to the first worder who brought him the "good news" of his victim's death.

That was two days ago. He has heard the "good news" now.

But, before he expired, Mak- sut Ibraimovitch summoned his relatives to his bedside and made them take a vow to avenge his death by the assassination of his murderer-or, should he be "not available," one of his moale Issue-Renter.
