BOWLED TOO HARD
(Press. Assn.-
cricket sensation HOBBS PROTESTS AGAINST METHODS OF YORKS' TRUNDLER danger of under pitching
— By Telegraph — Copyright).
Rec. Aug. 24, 5 p.m. London, August 23. A cricket eontroversy has arisen over an incident on the Oval in which j. B. Hobbs (Surrey), protested that E. Bowes (Yorkshire), was bowling dangerqusly. The latter (who is extremely powerful, and stands 6ft. 4in.) says an occasional short ball is legitimate. All fast bowlers in Hhe past have used it. Yorkshire men resent Hobb's action in walking down the piteh and sardonically'patting the turf a few yards from the bowling crease. Hobbs admits that perhaps he made a niistake, but it was done more in a humorous spirit than anything else. The papers publish ' extraordinary photographs of Hobbs protesting, surrounded by fieldsifien in the middle of the piteh. ; Hobbs says he did not accuse Bowes of unfairness, but emphasised the danger bf under pitching. No tempers were lost. Some papers eondemn Hobb's action while others eondemn Bowes' tactics.
