The “Daily Express” says that J. Sharp, the Lancashire captain, refuses to play again at Old Trafi'ord. He was annoyed at the crowd's behaviour m the match against Middlesex when he missed a catch off the first ball. Sharp says he also objects to members’ remarks in the pavilion, and declares that no self-respecting amateur would take the risk of a repetition of Midi treatment. l’ewt rcis will captain Lancashire against Nottinghamshire on Saturday. Commenting on the recent match, the “.Manchester Guardian'’ cricket reporter said : “This crowd became a little rude in speech when Lancashire, with 10!) uji for three wickets, ilnwdlci on the easy pitch for thirtv-livo minutes. against wavering bowlers. ami scored only 15. At least one Lancashire batsman seemed to let himself get upset by this mild ‘barracking : the truth is that Old ’l'm(ford’s crowd is one of the most tolerant ami long* suffering in the country. They gei more than their fair portion of ‘solely lirst' cricket. The batsman "ho takes ‘barracking’ at Old Trillion! too much to heart must surely lack the sense of humour.”
