TRIANGULAR CRICKET MATCHES.
MR BAILEY'S OPINION. Received June 4, 8.10 a.m. LONDON, June 3. Mr Abe Bailey, the South African who suggested the holding of Triangular cricket contests, in an interview given the "Sportsman," said he had little doubt that financial reasons were responsible for the Australian refusal to fall in with the proposal. Ho does not consider that the financial difficulties are insuperable, and added that personally he would do all in his power to smooth them over.
W r HAT AUSTRALIA HAS TO LEARN.
Received June 4, 9.15 a.m. LONDON, June 3. "Truth" says:-—"Australia has to learn that we are rot going to play cricket in her way. We pay her cricketers when they come here and she must pay ours when they are out there. 'Truth'is fairly sick of the twaddle talked about Australian pa'.riotism. They expect to get our cricketer 3 and navy for nothing, and won't come forward to help in Imperial matters because they cannot rule the cost and get as much money as they want." DISSATISFACTION IN SYENEY. Received June 5, 1.12 a.m. SYDNEY, June 4. There is considerable dissatisfaction in cricketing circles at the decision of the Board of Control not to participate in the triangular contest. »
