Bodyline Attacked By Hobbs

VOLUME WHICH MAY PROVOKE A STORM

In his book, "The Fight for the Ashes" (Harrap, 8s. 6d.), Jack Hobbs strongly condemns body- Jine bowling and deems it im- perative that the M.C.C. should come out with a definite lead.

Hobbs avers that no compari- son can be made between the hodyline bowling of current con- troversy and the bowling of George Hirst.

The Hongkong Jockey Club has still to record its quadruple crown here. A sporting gesture on the part of Mr. Dunbar deprived Liberty Bay from achieving this unique distinction in 1932, although as an owner he won the four chief classics that year. Liberty Bay won the leg stump, but to say that body-line Hongkong Derby, The Champion Stakes and the Hong- kong St. Leger. It was left to his stable companion Gleneagles to win the Autumn Champions.
