M.C.C. TEAM IN AFRICA
CAPETOWN. Nov
The Alarvlehoiie team arrived all fit
Sutcliffe appears to lie the most shy member of the team. Pressed for an interview he declared he was very proud of his appointment as captain of Yorkshire. He pointed out that it was not quite correct to say he "as the first player to he captain. He believed there was one in the ’eighties, but that did not detract from the great honour conferred on him. Stevens, of Middlesex, had been specially selected for play on matting. Including as it did only spin howlers. Captain Stonforth was diffident'lo give an opinion of tho probable result of test' matches. In fact eight members would play on maTting for the first time, and that South African cricket appeared on the up-grade. The visitors first match is against Western "Provinces on Saturday.
