CAN AUSTRALIA WIN?
_ A springbok; opinion. , LONDON, Sept. 30. “I would not be surprised if the English cricket team beats Australia,” said H. W. Taylor, the captain of the South African cricketers, prior to embarking for home. He paid a high tribute to the play of the Englishmen during his team’s tour, and said. that the game in the Old Country was now at a high standard. He expressed his disappointment at the results of the matches. He did not blame the bad weather for their defeats, but said that the reason was that the South African bowlers were not good enough on the English turf wickets. They must practice on them in order to have a chance against England. A slight profit was shown on the tour.
