AUSTRALIA’S PROTEST

“LIKELIHOOD OF DISRUPTION.” AUSTRALIAN PRESS CRITICAL. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. f 1.15 p.m. Sydney, Jan. 19. Sydney and Melbourne newspapers, while not objecting to the Board of Control’s formal protest to Marylebone are more or less critical of the board’s contention concerning the likelihood of disruption between Australia and England. The Sun in an editorial says: “Marylebone might be forgiven if after reading the appalling suggestions of Imperial disruption it replied to the board with a request to pack its several heads in ice. It is quite obvious, however, “that the English cricket authorities will give friendly consideration to the protest in spite of the board’s weakness in diplomacy.” . JARDINE DECLINES TO COMMENT. ENGLISH TEAM’S STATEMENT. Rec. 10.5 p.m. Adelaide, Jan. 19. Jardine declined to comment on the cable of protest. A statement has been issued that the English team members deplore personal feeling. They desire to deny emphatically there is dissension or disloyalty qmong the team and assure the public of Australia and England they have a loyal captain and hope to achieve ah honourable victory.
