QUEENSLAND REBELS
(lieceived 10th December, 11 a.m.) BEISBANE, This Day. The Queensland selector stated that there was no justification for the state of open revoit which the Queensland Sheffield Shield team had adopted. "There are probably ringleaders in the team," he said. "Our only redress can be obtained ■when the team returns." Tho homo selector indicated that these alleged ringleaders might be dropped for tho remaining matches. A meeting of players of the Queensland Sheffield cricket team in Melbourne clecidecT to defy the Queensland Cricket Association and appointed their own selectors. The trouble dates back to last season, when tho Queensland selectors in Brisbane insisted on choosing the team for each gamn by telegraph, a complete departure from the practice of other State teams. Leo O'Connor, who was then captain, became involved and dropped out of the game. The players believe it impossible for the Queensland selectors to keep in touch with players' doings and accordingly appointed three members of the team as selectors.
