Alcock at Brighton on Tuesday last will have occa­ sioned much grief to all readers of Cricket, for it was he who founded this paper twenty-five years ago and had been its Editor since its inauguration. How pro­ foundly he will be missed only those who have been intimately associated with him cm adequately realise. The energy he instilled into everything he undertook was of the greatest, and was matched only by the universal popularity he achieved in the world of sport. Others H.
