AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS.
MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATIONS, TEST AT LEEDS OPPOSED. GETTING AWAY FROM CROWD. United Press Assn. —Elec. Tel. Copyright. (Received October 2, 10.10 a.m.) LONDON, October 1. Mr W. Kelly declines to give an indication of the nature of tne recommendations he is making to the Board of control on his return, hut It will not be surprising if lie opposes the playing of future tests at Leeds, which despite the great advantage the 'Australians gained there, cannot be considered as a ground up to test standard. The players tnemselves undoubtedly would prefer more matches in the more pleasant. south and west of England at the expense of the gloomy north. This year saw an experiment in accommodating the team at the Midland hotel, away from the fashionable centres, partly for economy and partly because there were fewer distractions and less unwelcome curiosity regarding the players than if they had stayed at the West End. It is believed that Kelly will recommend a continuance of this policy, provided the hotel agrees to certain conditions.
