CRICKET.

fAUSTRALIAN & N.'i. CAULK ASSOCIATION) A SPORTING SCRIBE. LONDON, Jan 11. Hobbs writing to the “Star” says: ‘ Melbourne barrackers were in fine form. I love these barrackers. They are generally so full of humour, and know something about the game.” HOW TO WIN. A WRITER’S HUMOR. LONDON, Jan 11. The “Sunday Pictorial” makes a humourous suggestion how to even up the tests. It says: “Let Douglas be out only when he thinks he is out. Hang the umpire. Don’t decide matches on runs, but on statistics, which are notoriously misleading. Let the best side win which would mean taking a referendum in England and Australia.” TEACHERS AT CRICKET. (Received this day at 8 a.in.) SYDNEY, Jan 12.
