THE UNLUCKY SEVENTEEN

(Received this day at 12.25 p.m.l LONDON, September 12.

There is much amusing speculation as to wlmt would happen if a millionaire sportsman was found to provide “a magic carpet” for tho unlucky seventeen great cricketers who will he left behind when the test team sails during the week-end. ’lt is acknowledged the choice of tho lucky seventeen has been thoughtful and eminently fair, but it is equally fine. No contest in the Empire history would excite greater interest than the impossible occurrence of two rival teams battling through tho same fixtures card in Australia, The unlucky seventeen, according to unofficial selectors, are:—Sandliam. Holmes, Woolley, Stevens, Rhodes, Hcarne, Duleepsinhji Rowley, O’Connor, Smith, Wyatt. \V ’ TL Franklin, C. Parker, Mercer, Fwuler, Jupp, and Sidney Barnes.
