LONDON, May 15 Tl ie “Daily News” in addition to featuring the barracking of Australians, describes incidents at Brighton where Douglas was the subject of a lot of unfair barracking, because he hatted steadily in the hope of retrieving the position for Essex against Sussox.

THE HOURS QUESTION. LONDON, May 13. The “Cricketer” newspaper, dismissing the hours question says: The position the Australians havo taken up is unfortunate. Tt must be remembered that the price of admission to a test match is double that* of the County matches. Daylight saving enables thousands to see a match after work, but it is unlikely that they will flock to the grounds when stumps- are drawn at six. The “Cricketer” desires to see fair play to Armstrong’s splendid team, and hopes nothing in our customs will prove an an fair handicap in the tests, but feels that a majority of English players are in the same position as the Australians regarding continuous playing and travelling.
