BOWLERS’ RESIN.
MALLEI' TAivEN TO TASK. LONDON, July 16. Discussing the views of Arthur Mailey, the dormer Test slow bowler, who criticised the move to ban the use of resin by bowlers, the cricket writer of the “News-Chronicle” (Frank 'lhorogood) solemnly warns his readers as follows : %‘The unorthodox views ,of Mailcy were illustrated in 1925, when he advocated the flooding” of an Australian wicket in order to accustom the players to English conditions in preparation for their tour in 1926. In maxing the suggestion, lie described himself as a cricket Bolshevik.” “I have not heard a single instance of an English cricketer using resin,” said V. W. C. Jupp, captain of Northamptonshire. “The Australian Board of Control’s suggestion that the Marvlebone Cricket Club should legislate against the practice- seems pointloss. as it is condemned as illegitimate throughout England. Good bowlers do not need such artificial aids. The only bowler I knew who used resin was an Australian. Tf the practice is liecoming general in Australia, the remedy lies in the Australians’ hands without recourse to Marvlebone.”
