The Australian Press Association says: It seems certain that Manager Kelly will report Don Bradman to the Cricket Board of Control, on the team’s return, for his journalistic and other activities. The players themselves feel that this step is inevitable, especially als Woodfull, Grimmett, Kippax and Oldfield have rejected tempting offers to write for English newspapers. One player said that the Board of Control would prove, itself . the weakest body in the wtorid if it refused to take action against Bradman. Meariwhijle Bradman .smiles. He says nothing. He is bolding himself, as usual, rather, aloof from the other members of the team, 'in addition to Manager Kelly, with whom, it is understood, his relations are not very cordial.
