CRICKET CROW MANNERS DETERIORATION DEPLORED. (Rec. August 2, 9.30 p.m.) London, August 2. “The Times” special correspondent deplores the steady deterioration, of cricket crowds' manners after the war, culminating in the Manchester Test match episode. The rebuke was due to the (remarkable scene at the Oval when a large section of the crowd yelled and shouted for nearly an hour, and then engaged in fisticuffs. Hundreds encroached on the field, accompanying the fighters, as the battle moved from place to place. Play was suspended for ten minutes while the police restored order. The disorderlies were not barracking•the players. It was probably a bank holiday outbreak, but the correspondent reminds the crowd that they barracked the Australians at the Oval return ma'tch. He concludes: It was our boast that cricket spectators set an example to all other sports crowds. That cannot be said at present. - The Times." ■
