MARYLEBONE TEAM
DEPARTURE FROM ENGLAND VERY QUIET FAREWELLS LONDON, Sept. 13. The Marylebone team left England behind in a smother of mist and rain after quiet farewells both at Waterloo and Southampton, contrasting strongly with the enthusiastic scenes always witnessed when the Australian teams leave home. The majority of the team, however, are relishing the prospect of a month’s rest aboard the Orion after, in some cases, several seasons’ continuous cricket broken only by voyages. No member of the Marylebone Committee is aboard. Verity was given the warmest sendoff. He declared that he was feeling quite fit, but he looked rather jaded. Hundreds of telegrams were delivered before the train steamed out from Waterloo. A message by radio from the Associated Press’s special correspondent aboard the Orion states that Verity, as a precaution, was ordered to bed to ensure his recovery from influenza. The other members of the Marylebone team are all enjoying the shipboard life. The amateurs and professionals are dining at the same tables.
