AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS

MANAGER’S REPORT ON TOUR. POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATIONS. . -s (United Press Association.) ( (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, October 1. Mr Kelly, manager of the Australian team, declines to give an indication of the nature of the recommendations he is making to the Board of Control on his return, but it will not be surprising if he opposes the playing of future tests at Leeds, which, despite the great advantage the Australians gained there, cannot be considered as a’ground up to test standard. The players themselves would undoubtedly prefer more matches in the more pleasant south aud west of England at the expense of the gloomy north. This year saw an experiment in accommodating the team at the Midland Hotel, away from the fashionable centres, partly for economy and partly because there were fewer distractions and less unwelcome curiosity regarding the players than if they had stayed at the West End. It is believed that Mr Kelly will recommend the continuance of this policy, provided the hotel agrees to a certain condition.
