CRICKET CONTROVERSY.
AUSTRALIANS AT HOME. SOME MISUNDERSTANDINGS. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 8.35 LONDON, Aug. 25 A surprising amount of private comment bears out the complaint against the non-attendance of Australian cricketers at social functions which had been arranged in their honour. On their first day in London there were many vacant guest-chairs at the luncheon given by the Institute of Journalists. This was the beginning of a chapter of misunderstandings, from •which a harmful impression was created. As regards the grievances of the players, after their reported denial of these seriatim, it is sufficient to mention their dissatisfaction at having to pay their own fares to grounds by tram and bus. It is learned that a number of the players complained to a visiting international cricketer and asked him to take the matter up with the manager of the team.
