CRICKET BROADCASTS.
Sir,-Now that the cricket (duck) season is over, I suggest for the next season that some variations be intro~ duced by the sporting announcer from 2YA. If ornithological phraseology must be persisted with, then let us have say "out for a cuckoo; ,out for a warbler," etc.; a score of such can easily be thought out. On no account should dignified and clear meaning phrases such as "out for none," or "out for no score" be allowed. Meanwhile, would someone tell me what the announcer means bys "that ball was a dry one" and by vee slips."
