INTERNATIONAL SPORT.

RECORD SUMMER IN BRITAIN.

WARNER ON AUSTRALIAN TEAM.

By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received April 30, 5.10 p.m. London, April 29. This will be a record summer in the direction of international sport. The keenest interest is being taken In the Australian cricketers, the newspapers making a feature of their doings.

There are speculations regarding the American poloists, who are practising in readiness to attempt the capture of the international trophy. The strongest invasions of Americans are expected both in the amateur and open golf championship. Mr. Warner, writing in the first number of “The Cricketer,” a weekly which he is editing, discussing the forthcoming tour, says that the Australians are formidable opponents, and are likely to win the rubber. Armstrong is a greater batsman than ever, Bardsley as steady as a rock. Gregory eager and dashing, with all the impetuosity of youth. The Gregory's are to Australia what the Grace’s were to England. At present Gregory looks tn be nearly the best allrounder in the v. . rid and the most interesting personality A the team. Mailey should be more successful in England than in Australia, while Carter is still the best wicket keeper Australia ever had, with the exception of the immortal Blackham.
