CRICKET DISPUTE
BELIEVED TO BE OVER
BOARD'S REPLX TO M.C.C,
(Received 10th February, 10 a:m.) LOiSFDOisr, 9th February. The M.C.C. is believed to be satis-, fled with the Australian Board's cable, thus ending a controversy of which everyone is sick and tired. The M.C.O. Will cable the customary formula ,of thanks and acknowledgment. The "Morning Post," in'a' leader, says that the Board of Control's attitude in not explicitly withdrawing the ugly word "unsportsmanlike" is manifestly illogical, but men are not ruled by logic. "However, there seems no substantial Teason now for callin" off the fourth Test."
The "Daily Telegraph" says: "The board's cable does not completely retract the unfortunate word, but it does show a sincere desire to smooth ruffled feelings. All lovers of the game will hope that the Brisbane match will be wholly free from unpleasant incidents. Jardine is placed in a very invidious and difficult position, but he enjoys the full confidence of the M.C.C. and the cricket public at Home."
