MANY DIFFICULTIES
1 BRITISH PRESS COMMENT Rec. April 30, 5.5 p.m. London, April 29. The Daily Telegraph; 'commentilig on the Board of Control's b'ody-lin'e decision, said, "If the rule becomfeS * law. the umpire would have powfer to direct a fast bowler h'ow he* miist place the field and how tie riiust bowl, under pain of being preverited 'from bowling at all. / "111 feeling might be engendered if a dictatorial umpire were in charge ' of a wiclcet at which a tempe'ramehtal fast bowler operated, and this might "•be far worse than that which arose with Larwood. • "It would be far better to draw a 1 couple of chalk lines to sliow where the ball may not be pitched. Still bet'ter it would be to get at the root of 'the trouble by amending the l.b.w. rules." The Morning Post cricket writer says: "How is the umpire to decide ^ where the bowler intends to intimidate or injure batsmen. Furthermore, •'the bowler, within the laws of cricket is entitled to intimidate. It must be > remembered that a ball which intimidates one batsman is not a source of Herror to another."
