THE PROFESSIONAL TEAM. By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, June 6. Mr David Gallaher, the Auckland member of the committee which selected ,the New Zealand team for Australia, arrived from Christchurch to-day. From what he has heard in the south, Mr Gallaher is of opinion that the professional tour will fall t'.irough. "They may be able to get good forwards," he said, "but I don't think they can get good backs. As for the 'All Blacks,' they may get one or two —not selected for Australia —but I do not think they will get any others. The general opinion in the South is that the tour is 'off,' though the promoters may proceed with the men whom they can get." It was the belief in the bouth, he Bald, that the movement was being mainly organised in Auckland, colour being lent to thia by the twelve Aucklanders' refusing to sign the declaration. The team for Australia was chofcen on Monday night, but it is impossible to publish it as all players, before being included, are required to sign another declaration. Mr Gallaher brought copies of > this undertaking with him, and all the players selected whom he has seen have signed it. Until all have besn seen, not only in Auckland but alsi in the South, the team cannot be announced. The selectors have chosen several alternatives in view of the possibility of some of the players selected refusing to sign. When all willing to do so have signed, the names will be telegraphed to Wellington, and from there the team will be announced.
