A LITTLE SHUFFLING IN AUSTRALIA.

By Telegraph—Press AssociationCopyright.

Sydney, Sopt. 3,

The feeling in local cricket circles is adverse to New Zealand’s suggestion that Australia should contribute to the expenses of Lord Hawke's team. The opinion held is that Australia has nothing to do with the New Zealand tour. Should the team play matches here or in Melbourne it will be a matter quite distinct from the New Zealand project, and would have to be treated separately. Anyhow it was premature to discuss details until it is ascertained if Lord Hawke is able to accept the invitation to return via Australia.
