MMETT spent a me r on the voyage pleting and coron cricket. He forwarded .the m anuscript from Naples to Messrs. Hodder and Stoughton, who are publishing the book shortly. “I received it only today,” Mr. Staples, rep resentative of Hodder and C. G. Grimmett Stoughton, told a Sydney “Sun” representative in England. “It seems tremendously promising. We are not losing a moment i-n bringing it out.” Besides giving advice and hints to young cricketers, especially bowlers, Grimmett tells the story of his own cricketing career. He relates how as a boy in New Zealand, he wanted to be a fast bowler, and how most reluctantly he r obeyed his schoolmaster’s orders to bowl slowly; how he used a dog as fieldsman, and practised with a ball suspended from the ceiling.
