Cricket and Cricketers. By Colonel Philip Trevor. (Chapman and Hall.

128. 6d. net.)-.Colonel Trevor has written another interesting book about the many famous cricketers-whom he has

known. His chapters on " W. G.," " Ranji," Mr. C. B. Fry and Hayward are especially good. He devotes about a, third of the book to the great Australian eleven who visited us last summer. In a chapter on " The Future " he warns us that the league system, which has gained a hold on the North, will have to be taken into account by the county clubs, who should, he thinks, give a little more attention to the needs of the public. Thus, when a player is absent, the name of his substitute should be given ; any change in the order of batting should be notified, and so on. In other words, the county grounds need to be better managed.
