D. R. JARDINE SUGGESTS

SMALLER BALL MIGHT MAKE MORE ARTISTS

OUT OF BOWLERS

That the balance between batsman and bowler might be restored by the adoption of a smallor ball-the ball in vogue at most preparatory schools, is suggested by D. R. Jardine in the Daily Telegraph.

."Put the small ball in the large hands of the average professional bowler," he says, "and let the experiment speak for itself. It can be counted a failure if it does not double the artists and halve the hacks."

The second attempt to decide the Large Units Knockout Competition took place on Tuesday and Wednes- day of this week (the first match having been declared a draw on ac- count of rain) when the Royal *Engineers defeated the Royal Artillery by seven wickets.

Artillery butted first, and although losing 5 wickets for 10 runs, managed to compile the useful total of 107, thanks to hurricane Innings by Gnr. Barsby, who hit six fours in his 44.

Bowling is an art. What is wanted, then, in a senience is-more artists and fewer hacks.
