X.S.W. PLAYER SUSPENDED. The Sydney fast bowler Scott, who only R few weeks ago was in the running for Australian Eleven honours, has been suspended, which means tho loss of his services to,the State and to his club (Petersham) for the rest of the season., Tho decision was como to by the committco of ;the Petersham Club at a special mcetanft, which was fully attended, and the yoto was unanimous. Scott failed to put in ( an appearance at the second day's play in, tho match against University ih the first-grade' competition, and action was taken after he failed to send in an explanation after being invited to do 60. Tho apparent severity of tho sentenco is.accounted for by the officials, who state that they, havo had trouble with Scott before. During tho season beforo last ho made some remarks to an outsider while at . tho practice net. That incident led to;club action. Last season ho left tho field: during tho progress of a game because his captain, Nowton, ordered him to bowl at one end, while he said lio would not bowl there, but at tin other, lie camo back before play had concluded, 6ftid he was sorry, and was allowed to play again. Tho necessity for discipline in tho club .led the. committee to the present drastic action. "It' is Petersham's' bad luck," said one official, "that wo should loso our best bowler in this way; but wo arc determined' to maintain discipline."
