L etter P ublished in C ricketer .’ 1 T h e Am erican D e a r S ir , —Now that the cricket season is approaching a few words on the subject of dress—I mean cricket dress, not the ladies’ fashions—may not be out of place. It is a well-known fact that American men have established for them­ selves a reputation in the matter of clothes. This applies to everything but sport. Take cricket for instance. Go on any cricket field you will in Phila­ delphia and you will see, as a rule, a very motley assortment of duds. Why is it ? Certainly not the lack of money to buy a decent outfit. The writer happened to be at a match last season on the grounds of one of the larger clubs; it was a beautiful day, everything lcoked as smart as it could be, but the picture was entirely spoiled by the harlequin costumes of two or three of the players. One man especially set one’ s teeth on edge by his extraordinary get-up. He had on a hideous flaming baseball sweater, very dirty flannel trousers, and boots which surely had not bean cleaned since the year before; when he went in to bat his pads completed the picture. I hoped and prayed he would get. out the first ball; he was an eyesore on an otherwise fairly presentable picture. In England such a man would not be tolerated on a cricket field; why so in America ? Surely an American cricketer can be as smart as his English cousin. Among small clubs even in England every member of the team tries his best within his means to be smart. Baseball and football 8eem responsible to a certain degree for the untidiness on the field in this country, for with the risk of getting myself disliked and metaphorically kicked it is next to impossible to look clean and smart in the clothes worn by the players of these games. Men who have played football and baseball seem to think that any old thing will do for cricket as well. This is undoubtedly a mistake ; it will not, or ought not to do. If it is worth while wearing distinct clothes for cricket why not wear the proper garb, and above all clean shirts, trousers, and boots. It should be an unwritten law that every member of the first eleven of a club should wear a blazer and cap of the club colours. How much more attractive the game would become to ladies if the men were smart; we have to reckon with the ladies in every walk of life nowadays, and although we cannot include them in our g*mes of cricket why not make the game attractive for them to watch and so increase our number of spectators ? Women take an interest in men’s dress as well as in thiir own, bo why not humour them a bit ? A S u bscriber . L a w s OF CRICKET, with List of Fixtures and Memo, pages.
