MEETING CALLED
Notts County Cricket Club
BODY-LINE CONTROVERSY
London, January 2.
Councillor 11. S. Whitby, ex-Lor.d Alayor of Nottingham, and one of the most prominent members of the club, has called an extraordinary general meeting of the Nottingham County Cricket Club, at which he will propose, unless the committee’s report on Voce’s withdrawal during the Australian match is satisfactory, that the committee should be called on to resign en bloc.
The requisition also demands an answer to the question whether the club received from the M.C.C. any instructions or recommendations regarding socalled body-line bowling. Air. Whitby, in an interview, stated that members of the Notts County Club were up in arms at having news from Australia regarding an apology of which they knew nothing. “Aly object,” he said, “is not to damage the club, but to prevent further resignations. It is reported that more than a hundred have resigned, and public opinion in Nottingham is solidly behind Larwood and Voce. Their living is at stake, and they cannot speak. Someone must protect them."
