AND OTHERS GET THE TRIP

{By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Per Press Association.) '.. ~ Sydney, February 22. P.Smi ing AT h n- eßrly part of t<he d W I emier McGowen and Mr P F \\ arner fruitlessly tried to secure a settlement of the cricket trouble beween Clem Hill, Trumper, and the other; tour malcontent players .Hill, having only received his invitation on Saturday last, has ten gay s rrcun then to consider the position. Ihe other five excepted, but reserved the right to withdraw if anything arose prior to the departure of the team rendering such withdrawal necessary. Tho Board of Control insisted on definite and unqualified acceptance. Sid. Gregory Hazlitt, and McLaren (Brisbane) have been selected to replace lrumper, Armstrong, and Cotter ni the team for England. Ransiord's place will be filled tomorrow.

Carkeek now becomes first wicketkeeper in the place of Carter, and Webster, the South Australian, will probably be chosen as second wicketkeeper.

,It■ is expected that Hill will decide- to stand by the other malcontents. . .
