MAOLAREN’S TEAM ITS STRENGTH DISCUSSED. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. SYDNEY, August 22. “The Sun,” commenting on Maclaren’s team, says it may not be quite strong enough to defeat Victoria or New South Wales, but is quite good enough to defeat the New Zealanders. The tour, however, ia expected to develop some of the talented young players. The paper regrets the absence of Hubert Ashton, and adds: “The star of the side will be A. P. Chapman, Cambridge left-hander, who, though not regarded as qnite Ashton’s equal, is a prolifio run-getter, and one of the finest fieldsmen in England.” l “PICNIC OF TOURISTS.” (Received August 22, 8.10 p.m.) SYDNEY, August 22. It is stated that Madaren’s team is regarded in cricket association circles 0s more in the nature of a picnic of tourists than ao a combination capable of testing the mettle _of the best amateurs against real cricketers. Excepting Maclaren and Oalthorpe, the rest are almost unknown. No details of the tour have yet been received. VIVIAN CRAWFORD DEAD Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON. August 21.
