DROPPING OF VOCE CAUSES OUTBURST BY A. W. CARR

"Would

SIR S. JACKSON-

REPLIES

ex-

The sensational "reating" of Voce in the Australians second innings at Nottingham last month brought forth a con- demnatory statement by A. W. Carr, and an interesting planation of the M.C.C's posi tion from Sir Stanley Jackson. It will be recalled that when Voce failed to appear on the field when the Australians batted a socond time against Notts, the crowd indulged in a demonstration of booing and jeering.

"If I had been captain of Nolls today you can say that Vace would have played and would have bowled”....A. W. Carr to Nowe Chronicle.

Nottingham, Aug. 15. Voce's withdrawal from the Nolta team to-day took place in an ex- traordinary way.
