AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS
DISSATISFACTION OVER BONUS. By Telegraph—Pres. Assn. —Copyright. London, Nov. 25. The Daily Express gives prominence to a cable from its Melbourne correspondent referring to the bonus proposal for the test cricketers and quoting the assertion of some of the Austraian cricketers, who have returned ‘‘broke,” and comparing Hirst’s £3OOO from a benefit with the treatment of Ernie Jones, who is stated to be working on the Adelaide wharves, and George Giffen, who is holding a minor job at the Post Office. The Express, in a footnote, says: "It is necessary to remember that the Australians come as amateurs, and are accorded all the privileges of the amateur status, whereas Hirst was a professional who depended on the game for his livelihood.”
