CRICKET NEWS.
[per ~ iuiess association.— copvrighx ] OXFORD BEATS CAMBRIDGE. LONDON, July*!). In the Oxford-Cambridge cricket match, the former won by two wickets. TRIANG ULAR TESTS. LONDON, July 9. Mr F. Stanley Jackson, in a letter' to the Times, says the '—avisory Board's resolution was needlessly curt, not to say ungenerous, and it seems as if the Board was either misled or unduly hurried to a conclusion, because the Australians were unable to take a part in the triangular contest. Surely tihat was not sufficient cause for being peremptorily told they must either join in the tournament or stay 'it home. He earnestly pleaded for harmony and good feeling, which were essential to international cricket, and advised lw withdrawal of the Board's resolution vvit.li an acknowledgment that a mistake had been committed, and the hope that the Counties would extend a cordial invitation on the old lines without any new conditions for the visit next year. It was ■ertain that an Australian team would be heartily and generously welcomed.
