Two Important Changes Made At Warwick
By Ronak T. Symond
London, Apr. 12.
A. J. Holmes will continue his able captaincy of Sussex cricket this season, and his vice-captain will be R. G. Stainton, who hopes to play frequently. Maurice Tate will be the, only notable abacntce, but his place will be hard to fill. Bowlers of his typo are rare the world over, and particularly in English
