BARRACKING

HOW WARNER TAKES IT

ATTITUDE APPROVED

. LONDON, 16th November. "Plum" Warner's remarks on barTacking are accepted aa decidedly welcome by the "Daily Mail," which states:—"Nobody minds good-natured barracking, and there is some excuse, even for hostile barracking, when batsmen are unnecessarily tedious, but when Jardine is shouted at the moment he emerges from the pavilion it requires courage." "Warner has addressed the hosts in this fashion, but it is hoped that Jardine and his men will now be given a fair field."

In the course of ,an address in Melbourne, Mr. P. !P. "Warner, Co-manager of the English cricket team, said that there was one phase of the game on which he declined to speak. ''It has iV name which begins with the letter B," he said amid laughter, "and I will cut that all out. I have done with it." Mr. Warner mentioned that Australia had a batsman whose name began with the same letter B. When he played at Perth recently, people travelled 700 miles to see him. bat. Unfortunately he did not make so many runs as usual. '.' That must happen to all great cricketers at times," said Mr. "Warner. "I was sorry to see that one newspaper in England so lost its sense of proportion that it said that Bradman—sorry, I did not mean to mention the name— had feet of clay. That sort of thing is ridiculous."
