CRICKET BONUSES
As a result of the bonuses earned by the cricketers taking part in the first test match at Brisbane, under the bonus offer made by the proprietors ol Wolfe’s Schnapps, several players on both sides have already netted a considerable sum.
No players on tlie Australian side hit any sixers, and thereby collected the Co offered 'for each six, but Hendren, of the English team, hit two, and Larwood one. lit addition to the CIO which Hendren collected from this source, lie also reached the boundary on twenty-one occasions, which, at 2s per four, netted him an additional £2 2s. Chapman and Larwood both held four catches, each worth Cl, and Ponsford, of the Australian team, also collected four catches. The total awards earned by the Englishmen so far amount to £33, whilst the Australian team has earned only £l4, all told. It will be interesting to see how. the ratio of bonuses compares between the teams after the second test match being played in Sydney this week.. The bonus scheme will remain in operation throughout the whole of the five tests, and both teams are eligible for the awards.
